Posted by Kazegami on 01.01.2012, 12:32 AM: Girl who likes being boyish, yes, that would be me so I'm obviously cool with it. Lol. I've never in my life been 'girly' and the idea of it is most unappealing.

Posted by hopexx5 on 01.01.2012, 02:25 PM: It is quite important for people to have feminine and masculine, unfortunately are so called outdat -cough- i mean modern society thinks otherwise. |
Posted by Kazegami on 01.01.2012, 03:37 PM: We are getting there. I think that every day, things get the littlest bit better. Minds become a fraction more open. It's just with this particular issue at the moment there's a problem which I don't think many people saw coming, that being discrimination against men. Even as I think about it, to my mind a woman in man's clothing is far less... less shocking, less unusual, than vice versa. That to me seems quite illogical but that's definitely how my mind sees it. And how most people's minds see it. If it can work one way then why not the other? Doesn't make sense, how odd. A woman in manly clothes is just another person on the street, but a man in a dress would be assumed to be gay or a transvestite.

Posted by husky51 on 01.01.2012, 08:20 PM: I ery much agree with your viewpoint, Kaze. When my youngest son was 9 or 10, he had long hair and was teased a lot by other boys at church, being called a sissy, etc. I spoke up to the parents quite a bit to try and stop it, but to no avail. And to top it off, my clergy said he should just cut his hair and be a boy...

Posted by hopexx5 on 01.06.2012, 08:08 PM: I wonder how males who are feminine get on with girls who are masculine... |
Posted by AzViking on 01.06.2012, 09:15 PM: And @husky when I was 13-16 I didn't cut my hair once, eventually I cut it and donated it to locks of love, but I never got made fun of, at least not that I knew of, in fact I made many girls jealous that I had better hair than they did. |

Posted by hopexx5 on 01.07.2012, 09:55 AM: Yeah im not fond of the word gay, I know it had positive meanings in the Britain that no longer exists. But today it is the meaning for something far less excepted.

Posted by Kazegami on 01.07.2012, 11:05 AM: Hope, I don't think 'gay' was the word of offense there. I think it was 'sissy.'

Posted by husky51 on 01.07.2012, 01:00 PM: hahaha, so true, Saddles, but once I found a part in the Bible that states that "long hair is an abomination".

Posted by Roarkiller on 01.07.2012, 11:25 PM: Really? I thought guys of old had long hair. Too much Hollywood/LoTR.

Posted by AmtrakDesertWindrider on 01.13.2012, 11:27 AM: Me, I think it's pretty darn awesome. Like twenty percent awesomer than the stereotype.

Posted by captain george on 01.13.2012, 06:04 PM: Girls being boyish doesn't annoy me. Boys being girlish does. Sounds like that's sexist and it probably is, but for some reason boy's being girlish really cheeses me off. |
