Just wanted to apologize for pulling you into my life so much, y'know, with those two depressing blogs..This whole blog is supposed to be about music and nuns, not me...lol.
But, for those of you who do want to know, yes, things are better now, and everything is back to its amazing original state of happiness. -insert adorable little smiley face-
Haha, but yeah, today I'm going to talk about stereotypes with men and women, because this morning, my dad drove into my mums car, and it was HIS fault! Shocking, I know. AND, he blamed my mom for leaving her car in the driveway, because it's always the woman's fault, right? Wrong. So, I would like to discuss how sometimes, sexist stereotypes ARE incorrect.
For example, here's some stereotypes about women, and reasons why I disagree/agree:
- they're all bitchy -> Okay, yes. Some women can be bitchy, but not ALL of us are. At one point or another, yes, we will bitch at you, but the good women only do it when there's actually a reasoning behind it. It only really happens when we're PISSSSSED. Or, if we're on our period. So please bare with us, in that circumstance.
- they're all overly emotional -> I do agree with this one, but it's only because of our chemical makeup. All women are going to be more emotional than men. However, are we really overly emotional? Or are you men just overly emotionless?
- can't fix anything mechanical -> It depends on the circumstances. In my household, my dad is the one who does the mechanical work, yes, but my mom still knows how to. My dad just does it because he's trying to seem like a gentleman. And me? I am actually pretty good with it...Women can do this.
- don't know how to make basic household repairs -> Liesssss. We're not all thick, you know.
- obsessed with looks -> Yes, we will spend a lot of time trying to make ourselves look good, but it's not because we're obsessed with ourselves or anything. We're just trying to look better for our men, to make you all happy, and feel proud.
- great at cooking -> Not always, but usually, yes. :) You got a problem, asshole? YOU make your own food. Men should be more thankful...
- maternal -> Not all women. I know at least 20 that would be terrible with kids. But yet again, for the ones who are maternal, that's a good thing. So, we do have some good stereotypes.
- nurturing -> True, for a lot of women.
- uninterested in sports -> NOT TRUE. Some women do actually like sports. For me, I hate playing them, but I LOVE watching them...
- can't play video games -> Yes, we suck at them, but at least we try.
- talk too much -> Haha, guilty. This is why more women, than men, have online blogs, such as this one. We LOVE ranting about useless things.
- don't like sex -> Lies...we just don't stay horny for hours on end, like you men. We have about a one hour patch, where we're into it, then we just get tired. Sorry, men. Take advantage of it while it lasts though, I guess?
Now, some stereotypes about men..These may not be AS accurate, because obviously I'm not of the male gender, but I do have a boyfriend, and lots of male friends, and a father, so I do know quite a bit.. :
- obsessed with sex -> I wouldn't go so far as saying OBSESSED. Yes, I suppose they do like it, but it's not like any sort of obsession, in most cases. Only like sex addicts, but women can be those too.
- love cars -> Not with all men...I do kind of like it though when men actually take care of theirs, and have nice cars. Maybe women should care more?
- love sports -> Yet again, not all men. It depends on the circumstances. I think it's sweet when guys aren't TOO into them, though.
- drink beer -> Yes, some men drink beer, but women do too. We just don't get your ugly beer bellies :)
- sloppy -> Some guys, but not all. My room is a pig stye, and I'm a girl, so that doesn't say much. My boyfriend's actually a lot more organized than I am.
- can't cook - > Meh. Generally true. I'd love to see a guy make ME a sandwich.
- don't know how to care for themselves -> Haha pretty true. That's why women are here ;)
- insensitive -> Not really. Shockingly, a lot of guys actually do care about their girlfriends/wives, and can help out a lot. I actually find a lot of teenage girls to be really insensitive, and a lot of guys to be nicer and more understanding and helpful.
- aggressive -> True, for the most part. But just like being sensitive, it's how they're made up. I don't blame you men.
- boorish/rude -> Not always true. Some guys are actually really sweet.
- love potty humor and penis jokes -> Hahaha, quite true, actually. But so do women, we just generally try to refrain from laughing so that we don't sound like pigs.
.
So,
Dear Women,
I think that we should be more thankful for men, and stop being so goddamn critical! Most of us always expect that all guys are jerks, but they're really not. Some of them are sweet, and nice, and they do try pretty hard. Not all of them cheat, or drink too much, or watch porn 24/7. Give them a flipping rest.
Dear Men,
Enough with the sandwich jokes. Yes, it was funny the first time. The second, might have been a laugh, but seriously, it's getting really immature. Please make some new jokes about us. It's getting old. You should also be less critical though. Like, telling us that we spend too long getting ready, and care about our looks too much? You should know that we're only trying to make you proud, to have such a well done up girlfriend. We honestly try our best, for you.
So, no. Not all stereotypes are true. Actually, a lot of them just revolve around the most assholish guy possible, and the biggest whore. People aren't always what others say they are. There's exceptions for everything.
Just be grateful when someone tries to treat you well. Don't expect the worse, because you'll have a horrible life..
Sincerely,
-Zoe
PS: Give it a rest. We can't do everything.
