#Men you are not less manly for enjoying housework; and ladies you are not less feminine for enjoying outdoor labor

Imagine doing so much hard work and persevering through law school to have your failed tests advertised on the internet news. The bar is really hard; he’s not “cringe fail.” I am jealous of his ability to even attend college without committing suicide. He did a good job. Leave my dude the fuck alone.
I don’t care if they’re elites. If they’re elites; then make fun of them solely for being rich nepotism babies. There are non-elites who have failed the bar (or any important test) once or twice as well who will see this and feel bad about themselves.
#My uncle failed the bar I think three times before he passed and he’s a smart dude. It is extremely difficult#I respect anyone — even if they are an elite — who is capable and willing to put in that much mental work on anything#No one deserves to be ridiculed for moving past failure and trying again#That is a strength.#Or do we as a society only care about the “naturally smart” and “gifted?”#I’ve failed tests and retaken them before and so have you; should the internet ridicule us?#The SPED kids I work with very often don’t understand things the first the time around; should we ridicule them as well?#At what point do we stop judging people for their mistakes?#Also if the roles were reversed and the former princess took the bar three times; would you still say she were “cringe fail?”#or would you be too afraid of sounding “anti-feminist?”#Why? Is it because men are “supposed” to be smarter than women#and tasks that are “expected” from them would make a woman a “girlboss” for completing them?#or perhaps is it because we just don’t like men and think them creatures of lesser intellect worthy of our jeering and pet names?#Because I for one am androgynous and sick of the double standards. They help nobody#Don’t expect more from men than you do from women; don’t expect less from women than you do from men#That includes how one gender group speaks of and behaves around the other#It is the reason why a man feels he cannot physically fight a woman who is attacking him#because if he successfully defends himself he looks like an asshole; and if he fails he looks like a wimp#It is the reason women vastly underestimate and devalue their physical strength and resourcefulness as a tool#because men are the strong resourceful ones because it’s “in their biology”#Even though I am androgynous and would possibly love to be on testosterone#I don’t need testosterone or a man’s body to pull off great feats of strength and cunning and neither do you#Ladies! Build some determination: “I CAN do it and it WILL work because I fucking say so.”#Get angry. Mess your hair up. Break a nail. You are a durable physical beast put on this earth for more than looking pretty#You are meant to break a sweat. You are meant to do things that aren’t “ladylike” because women are STRONG. Physically#Men you are not less manly for enjoying housework; and ladies you are not less feminine for enjoying outdoor labor#Crush gender norms. Vive la résistance!

Science tells us: “ Men are, in general, more muscular than women, therefore they are stronger.” That´s true. Men are usually physically stronger than women. But does that mean, men are better and more important than women? Does that mean they deserve to have better jobs and higher wages? No, it doesn´t.
Sure men are great. Everyone knows the incredible minds of Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Nelson Mandela, Isaac Newton, etc.
But today, let´s talk about women. Let´s talk about women that changed the world. Let´s talk about Marie Curie (a physicist and chemist and the first woman to win a noble price); let´s talk about Malala Yousafzai (an activist for female education and the youngest Nobel Prize laureate), let´s talk about Mother Teresa ( who dedicated her life to helping the poor). Today, let´s talk about feminism. And what society thinks being a woman means.
Despite what a lot of people think. Being a feminist doesn´t mean support that women are superior and deserve more rights than men.
Feminism is “ the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. It´s the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes.”
“Fighting for women´s rights it´s not promoting man-hating.”
People say: “In the past it was worse. It´s better now. Women have more rights”. Some women may have more rights. But this doesn´t mean we have achieved gender equality. Because we didn´t. Some countries are closer to achieve this goal, but none have done it yet. India and South Corea are two of the many examples of countries that are still viewed as not being able to accommodate equal chances for both men and women.
What does our society think being a woman and a man means?
Despite what our community may believe, being a woman doesn´t mean doing the housework: cleaning, cooking, and washing the dishes while men are watching football or playing sports outside.
Men can also enjoy doing housework. Such as women can enjoy practicing sports.
A man who dresses “feminine” and likes to paint his nails isn´t less manly than a man who doesn´t.
I don´t believe that famous figures such as Brad Pitt, Chris Hemsworth, Harry Styles, Johnny Depp, Zack Efron, and Timothée Chalamet are less men than other male celebrities that never showed up in public with their nails done.
The way we dress doesn´t define our gender or sexuality. I view the way we dress as a way to express ourselves. To show the world our personality and true colors.
I understand that show the real us to the world can be scary. So I admire these men. Who are not afraid to show who they truly are. Who are not afraid to cross the boundary of what our society calls “normal”.
Why is it normal for people to see women in men’s clothing but it’s ridiculous and embarrassing to see men dressing up female?
Why a man, that is a real man, shouldn´t paint his nails? Why a man, that is a real man, shouldn´t cry? Why a man, that is a real man, shouldn´t show feelings?
Why a woman, that is a lady, shouldn´t gain muscular mass? Why a woman, that is a lady, shouldn´t have body hair? Why a woman, that is a lady, shouldn´t have a voice and speak when she disagrees?
It was the humankind who created and defined the meaning of being “normal and ordinary”.
I believe, that normality, doesn´t exist among human beings. Because we are all different, and there´s always something in us that makes us special and unique.
So if we are all different. And if we have different explanations of what being “normal” means. Why should we judge the way other people chose to express themselves?
We should respect everyone. Because this is the only way we can grow as humans, and become closer to eliminate prejudice.
Both men and women must have the same rights.
Don´t be afraid to speak. Use your voice and fight until we finally achieve our main goal. Gender Equality!
Thank you so much for reading! This is my opinion, please respect it. And respect everyone else's opinion.
I want to also thank you for all the support and love in my last post!
I apologize in advance if there´s some word misspelled or if some sentence doesn't make sense. My native language it´s not English.
Please feel free to share your opinion. I feel like this a very interesting subject to debate about.
All my love xx
