Response to jasmin H response

I can relate and understanding your snapshot because I was raised from a Caribbean household with traditional gender roles. From a young age being told you have to learn how to cook and clean for your future husband. While my brother gets to slack off and have the mindset that his future wife is going to care of him.

I think it’s great how gender stereotyping is changing. There shouldn’t be limitations of how you wanna live your life because your a woman or a man. Like in the article “ Sex & Gender 101“ it says “ boys are taught and expected to be tough, risk-taking, rowdy, athletic, strong, aggressive, rugged, handsome, not emotional, messy, loud, heterosexual studs, uninterested in domestic chores and care-taking, unromantic, interested in sports, cars, guns and climbing the corporate ladder, and apparently have an insatiable interest in superheroes and the color blue. On the contrary, girls are taught and expected to be soft, submissive, cautious, delicate, graceful, prissy, pretty, weak, passive, emotional, tidy, quiet, heterosexual prudes, interested in domestic chores and care-taking, romantic, disinterested in sports and cars with zero career aspirations and apparently have an insatiable interest in princesses and the color pink.” Which is unreasonable because not every boy or girl fit into these gender stereotyping roles.

The article sex and gender was pretty interesting its a topic that is being talked about a lot at this time. It reminds me of some TikToks that i saw of a young lady showing that she is gender fluid. Which people always think someone’s gender is connected to their sexuality. which i also thought so too. But i realize someone choice of gender does always relate to their sexual orientation (sexuality).
