Gender Roles

Visiting a friends room today I noticed how pink she had it. I frequently give her shit about it but it really makes you go back to the same old stuff. Gender roles. I asked if she ever played with any trucks and she said no. I am happy that while my parents didn't like the idea of my playing with dolls with my sister, and cousins they never really forced that on me. I got to dance ballet and tap for 10 years and I wasn't forced into sports. Sure I was bought toys for boys. It's was what I wanted. I was the same as every other boys. There are certain hormonal factors that cannot be ignored. I wanted to FIGHT! Swords and guns and every other thing that a large population of boys play with. But how many do it b choice? A few of the guys I danced with seemed to do it so as not to be forced to play football or futbol. And what about singing? all though there are many straight singers, many of the male one are gay. (Especially here.) And what about women? How do you feel? I can only comment on the path I travelled and saw. Tell me what you think.
