Quite a bit, but I'm neutral on following them.

Not much, but I'm not going to see a guy in a dress and think it's Ok.

Not at all. Though I see and have some of the rules, a baby girl can wear blue and I won't think differently.

Gender Rules
Posted: 08-19-07 13:43pm

Just something to think about:

Be honest here. Gender rules can be anything from little girls wearing pink, to men being manly with huge muscles. They can be common such as 'girls wear skirts, guys wear jeans', or they can be ubsured like 'girls serve men, men beat them'.

Now, I'm -not- asking you how common or ubsured your set of gender rules are for this poll. I'm asking how strongly you follow them. Say if you think baby girls wear pink and only baby boys wear blue; and you think someone is nuts for dressing a girl in blue, you're probably following them pretty strongly. Just because you have 'lax' rules doesn't mean you can't follow them.

So much happens because of gender rules alone.

Mention how common or ubsured your rules are, use examples please, and explain as you would like.

Lets discuss.

I'm not sure your poll has a category for me; "I don't give a sticky bun for gender rolls and I doughnut follow them, either".

Dudes can wear skirts for all I care. It's what kind of person you are that takes the cake for me.

I don't like girly clothes on any guy, and I would indeed feel unconfortable making my son wear pink clothes, unless he's gay (oddly I'd be okay with that). Let's say I'm okay with others way of living, but I want me and my relatives to be "normal", "their gender".

When I was about 13 I had to wear that giant pink ski uniform that was too small for my big sister. My mom said "at least we can easily spot you on the snow!" I just hated this. I wanted to kill myself in an avalanche, but I didn't want the news to show on page 1 "Avalange kills GIRL on mountain".
Thank GOD it wasn't ski vacation with school... That would have socially kicked me out of any group at that age.



What also I often dislike is long hair on men, and short hair on women... I just plainly don't like that, but I'm not sure if it concerns gender education.

Furthermore, I'm okay with strong girls but not when she is totally unable to show a little feminine side. Same otherways: boys do cry, but jeez, not for every single thing !

I'm in the same boat. Girly clothes on a guy can be very sexy!! I myself crossdress - I'm a girl so we wear pants often anyway, but I go the whole nine yards, complete with tie, pants, tied down breasts, and a sock in mah pants Wink

I'd had short hair from age ten till really college. It had gotten to neck length a few times but I always chopped it back off. I love th pixie look on girls, it's so cute and hot.

And guys with long hair are seeeeeeexy!!!
