To borrow a line from Depeche Mode, “People are people”, period, in my opinion. I’m grateful for the people in the past who fought for the rights I now enjoy, but I don’t see the utility in further separating myself from men in some attempt to put myself over them. People in general are pretty nifty, and there are some jerks in the mix, but that’s how it is.

I do go up 3 octaves higher and say “ahhh” when I break a nail. However, that’s usually because I keep my nails short. So if one does happen to break, it hurts like a motherfucker.

Oh and I curse. Girls aren’t supposed to do that either right?

Hey, I’ll show you how to cook a roast if you show me how to sew a button!

I am a woman. I was born this way. I am fabulous. Men are fabulous too. I do believe that some professions are geared more for certain genders then others and see nothing wrong with that. My issue is when the line of equality is muddied simply because of gender or when roles and certain behaviors are expected because of gender.
A few of my favorites that I have run into in recent years:
- I don’t want to do your laundry
- I don’t know how to cook a roast
- I don’t just “know” what to do with a baby
- I do like to play in the mud
- I do know how to ride a motorcycle
- and no I do not go 3 octaves higher and say “ahhh” when I break a nail.

I graduated top of my class in Home Ed (I can show you how to sew a button), but know how to change my tires as well. In a time where equality is more on the table then it has ever been, gender studies or more over, to understand yourself and where and how you can fit into a greater picture is important. We all have a place; we all have a purpose… why does it still matter what’s between your legs? I mean I still don’t understand how men walk around with that all day anyway.
