Same with my brother! He prefers his drinks sweet and fruity. I'm a sweet tooth myself, but I enjoy hard liquor too. Either way, enjoy your drink. Cheers! :D
Females have a lot more things that are considered unisex for them though, and I don't think it's fair to men or women. Plenty of girls can and are even encouraged to play sports, while things like modelling or doing dance (specifically like ballet and contemporary) is considered 'girly' or in other words: 'makes males seem weak'. I don't think that masculinity or things that are considered masculine should be pushed across genders, while things that are considered feminine can't/aren't because femininity is 'weak'. I mean, hell, some women won't even do feminine things because they feel like they have to put brawn over brains to be equal with men or get what they want. We should all just be able to express ourselves without being tormented for the things we like, and just let people do what they want and make decisions for themselves.
If men are being shamed when they do ""girly"" (notice the quotations) actions. That's because of toxic masculinity (when people says: "Real men don't...", to be more simpler) that men put on other men; it isn't fair because men chose to.
Yes this^ I know i plan on teaching my son to like whatever he likes and be what he wants although my crazy ass already wants him to be a famous musician but to be fair I'll want my future kids to be the same xD Thankfully my husband is on the same page and we already know what to do if he wants something from the "girl section". Buy it. Unless its like ridiculous expensive xD
I'm half Peruvian and half Italian and I live in Italy. Gender roles are the weirdest thing to me since Italians and Peruvians have quite different opinions on what is masculine and what isn't and I remember being super surprised when I attended my first fashion design class at high school here and realized that most of the students were dudes lmao. I don't get why anyone should loose the opportunity of doing the things they love just because of abstract concepts of gender defined by a society that is always evolving, I'm so happy you've talked about this Kat!!!!!
Being a Latino woman I was always raised to become a good wife and mother , as if my value and expectation were tied in on how good of a wife I can be in the future . I actually started a good career young , kicked ass , got educated and started making good money ; it seemed though like my family really didn’t like me living on my own and doing my own things and I would get called derogatory things by tias and uncles (not all) they would say stuff like I go clubbing all the time and I’m gonna get pregnant because I have so much freedom . I want a career in which I can support myself , but that’s sooo weird ~ 🙄
Melody Perez Good for you! I’m lucky that my family has raised me to be independent. My aunty and father have been great role models. My dad always taught me to tougher than the guys (😂😂) and my aunty always tells me that I don’t need a man and to be a single women cause it’s great (she has a daughter). I am very career driven also and love having freedom.
Emma Ito that’s awesome ! It’s nice that we have generation filled with Latino women who want to be independent! Honestly my family is probably still thinking real old school.
I wonder if what they say comes out of a place of jealousy on their part. Eh, I can't speak on what I don't know. It was just a curious thought. Don't let them bring you down! You're an independent person who is kicking butt and taking names. I'm so happy that you see value in yourself and live a satisfying life outside of the trap we call societal expectations. Live your best life! Much love and positive thoughts from Jersey!
My parents weren't the type to tell me 'you can't have that because you're a girl' But they still did things and expected things of me because I was assigned girl. They scold me more when it comes to cleaning and cooking, they say it's weird that I don't dress like other girls or that I look like a boy with short hair, and they wouldn't buy me the toys I wanted because they didn't think I would enjoy a remote control car or gun toy (which is stupid cause those are so fun). I think I personally have present more feminine now but that's just because I like dresses and make up is fun. It has nothing to do with my body. Men's clothes are still more comfy but I look cute in a dress too
My dad and father in law cringe when I talk about taking a trip and driving the whole 6-14 hours to wherever I’m going. Apparently women can’t drive for long distances or out of state? 🤦🏽♀️ My 6 year old daughter loves sports! Soccer and swimming are her faves. While my 5 year old son plays with barbies. “Omg!!!, you let him play with barbies?! But Barbies are for girls!!!” Ummm says whooo?!!!! He loves to dress them and play casita with them. I’m confident I’m raising a strong independent woman and caring and sensitive man 💕
This video couldn’t come out at a better time for me. I’m going to my prima’s “gender reveal party” tomorrow and couldn’t be more uncomfortable with the idea. They’re family and I support them so I’m going to attend but they are for sure getting gender neutral gifts from me.
Alicia MacFarlane who said the gifts had to be toys? The point of a baby shower is to help the mother and father prepare for the upcoming baby. Especially if they're first time parents anything is needed. So gender-neutral presents would be like bottles, diapers, bath soap, a bathtub anything like that. And you can get gender-neutral toys that are cute you can get like a giraffe or an elephant or a bunny rabbit anything. And it's cute. The difference is if the parents gets pissed off about it, the parents need to remember that they invited these people these people did not have to come and spend their money and buy them a gift. They came and bought the baby a gift because they love that person and wanted to show them support. At the end of the day they still did not have to come if they did not want to.
I know this was a long time ago so maybe your views have changed, but I think you're taking the whole gender thing way to seriously. It's almost as bad as a dad not kicking around a soccer ball with his daughter for force her to be more girly. If/when I have a kid, I'm going to treat them like the gender they are until they show interest in something that might not be traditional. If someone wants to give a kid a toy vaccume cleaner, that's cool. Both genders need to learn how to clean. I'm not going to force a dress on a boy as a baby, and I'll likely dress a baby girl up in a dress. I think it's good that focus on being a good parent rather than shove our views on gender on our kids, other people's kids, and on other people in general.
The men in my Peruvian family are always grilling the meat and tend to the bbq area. And my father always encouraged me to be a strong woman by playing soccer with me or making me throw out the trash or showing me how to change a spare tire so that I would never have to ask for a man’s help if I was ever in a rut. Both of my parents always shared the house chores equally, one week my dad would do laundry and the next my mom. It’s sad that kat’s dad just now stepped into the kitchen but I’m glad to see that it’s never late to change.
I’m a guy, I identify as more on the “masculine” side lifting weights, growing a beard, things like that so I’ve never really tried many “feminine” things. Recently I decided I wanted to try shaving my eyebrows cuz, damn they needed help. Offhandedly I mentioned this to a coworker. She was visibly offended that I could even think about doing such a “feminine” thing to myself. So naturally instead of just helping them out a bit I asked the eyebrow stylist to literally leave me with pencil thin eyebrows. Next day at work was the best day of my life. The woman had a damn conniption fit right before my eyes. She hasn’t talked to me since even though the brows are almost fully grown back. 😂 I’ll do my nails next time she says something to me. Shave your head just to fuck with the haters.
Personally I think this whole gender things is being taken too far. While I do agree that both sex can perform in equal things like cooking or whatever. I don’t think there are more than 2 genders but I will happily respect anyone who prefers to be called they/them.
Robert Martinez Intersex? That's a birth deffect. Gender (social construct or not) if you are biologically a fucking girl you are a girl. Period. "But muh feelings". Facts don't care about feelings.
I challenged gender norms by changing a light bulb in my house on my own. I live away from my parents and I had never done it before even though it's basic house maintenance, but when I had to do it I mentioned it to my mom and she just said "ask [male friend] to do it for you". I got angry, because it's not rocket science, I'm perfectly able to do it and I don't want to depend on someone just because of abstract concepts! GIRLS DON'T NEED BOYS AND BOYS DON'T NEED GIRLS! We should all be independent and live to our full potential, beyond stupid gender norms.
Sometimes my mom is cooking and my dad comes out of nowhere and says "help your mom cook" And I ask why and he's like because your a girl and you have to learn how to cook because when your married your husband won't like it if you don't cook. And then he starts talking about other things but I don't pay attention.
I’m straight and cis-gender, and I love comics and action movies, and guess what, I love to do my makeup and my nails. For a lot of people it doesn’t really make sense🤷🏽♀️
I was raised by my father, my brothers and from ages 2-6, my British grandma was helping out. I dug in the dirt,climbed trees and used my imagination a lot. Being a nerd, I wasn't that athletic.. I read A LOT. I was given quite a bit of freedom and being that my Dad did the majority of the cooking and tidying in the household, along with the nurturing, I never learned narrow gender roles. My father was also more gentle than my mom in most ways. My father read me stories and in addition to his career, he played music, painted and wrote poetry and enjoyed good food, theatre, and so on. I did learn to change a car tire and spackle a house from my Dad. (The older generations seem to be good at everything). In essence, I was an introverted tomboy. I wore "boys clothes" from head to toe from age 7.5 to 13 or so, however sometimes I'd wear lipstick or earrings, or a dress when no one was watching. My mom tried to nit pick me for everything including my weight, whether I wore my hair up or down and my clothing. I got made fun of at school for my baggy jeans, boys high tops and my older brothers' vintage band or pop art t-shirts. However, I was the type to take no s*it and I'd raise my voice when people tried bullying me. As I got older I realized I didn't fit traditional gender roles OR sexuality. Even though I look mostly feminine and enjoy both the normal stretchy jeans and t-shirt look and form-fitting (black) dresses, I consider myself gender fluid. When I went through puberty I became quite curvy and I was upset because the boyish clothing didn't fit anymore. I did learn to love my body and I usually love accenting my curves and long hair. However, I also love caps, "men's fashions" and I still love guy's style high tops (don't judge me, I'm an 80s baby from New York). I'd say I'm a feminine genderqueer tomboy femme, if we're labelling. One of my dreams is to own a black 3 piece suit that fits my curves nicely, and maybe a dress that looks just like the suit but with a skirt. I hate gender reveals or putting kids in a box and oppressing them before they are born. I was wondering if you'd discuss the pink tax sometime ?? Love your videos!
me concidero como alguien súper masulino, pero la gente tiende a "glorificar" mi persona, por el hecho que tengo piercings, el pelo teñido de rosado y me gusta cocinar y la jardinería, además de asistir a foros y conversatorios sobre feminismo y discidencia sexual. i mean, tengo una actitud bastante heterosexuada, y cuando era chico, presentaba una actitud mas o menos "normal" en cuanto a roles de género, pero después me di cuenta que los valores que me inculcaron no iban de la mano con lo que yo concideraba masculino o, lo que yo quería llegar a ser. al principio sí, mi familia me miraba raro por expresar mi gusto por la gastronomía y la horticultura, además, por cambiar mi imagen y por poner temas sobre feminismo en la mesa, pero después de un tiempo, simplemente me empezaron como a poner en un pedestal, por haber "roto los roles de género", cosa, que no debería suceder. nadie debería ser delimitade por los roles de género, independiente si decidas seguirlos o romperlos, pero nadie debería ganar mas espacios y privilegios por lo mismo. si un hombre, que de por sí ya es hombre, y decide romper con los roles de género, en los ambientes mas retrógrados de la sociedad, dígase una reunion familiar, la gente le va a dar un mayor permiso implícito para hablar y expresarse, en comparación con la prima de él, que ha pasado por exáctamente lo mismo, solo que (leer con voz de tía) "que una mujer rompa los estigmas de género está muy "trillado"" o (leer con voz de tío) "nosotros los hombres también sufrimos por cumplir las expectativas que se nos ponen, y mi sobrino abandonó sus privilegios para unirse a la lucha". eso no debería pasar. que alguien se exprese como se exprese, sea como sea, no debería ser glorificade o invisibilizade, la sociedad tiene que entender que los géneros no son algo fijo o tangible, son algo elástico, que varía de persona y en el tiempo, y que el modelo que a mí me impusieron ya está obsoleto, que ya es tiempo de un cambio, y tú, puedes hacer la diferencia. habla como quieras, corre como quieras, sientate como quieras, llora como quieras, exprésate como quieras. se como quieras...
Being Latina, the whole gender role thing is something you can’t completely get rid of. It’s a part of the culture my mom, aunts and uncles grew up in, then it transferred onto us (the children). Only difference is now that we’re adults, we don’t push it like our parents do, but the women still hangout in the kitchen, while the guys sit in the living room watching a game with drinks 🤷🏻♀️ My mom and I primarily clean the house and cook, while my brother only has to worry about his room and taking out the recycling. No matter how much I told my mom “it’s not fair”, I still had to do what she said and assumed my role as the woman in the house. When I have my own family, you better believe everyone is gonna clean, cook, and pull their weight lol
I truly believe that no matter what you identify as, as long as you arent harming yourself or anyone do, say, and look anyway you want and do what makes you happy
I would suggest reading Anne Fausto-Sterling’s “The Five Sexes” and other contemporary feminist literature that discuss gender/sex and their social constructions. The thing with gender norms we have to remember are also based on class differences. Gender expectations for middle/upper class women will be different from working class women and men.
I was always a girly girl but I loved baseball and would go watch my boy cousins playing in little league. I always asked if I could play too but I was always denied. 😔 I had to do ballet, tap, and jazz. My mom later told me that he didn't want me doing masculine things because he thought I would become a lesbian.
COÑO POR FIN ALGUIEN CUERDO HABLA DE ESTO Y LO EXPLICA BIEN NOJODAAAAAA. Me encanta, I love it. You´re doing great, 11/10. I BREAK GENDER STEREOTYPES EVERYDAY BY WEARING MY DAD´S CLOTHES, AND WATCHING FOOTBALL, AND ROLLERBLADING, AND ROCKING MY SHORT HAIR, MAKING GOOD OL´ AREPAS, AND BEING SUPER GLITTERY AND KIND TO EVERYBODY AT THE SAME TIME YEAAAAAAA
I’m not Latinx, as far as I know, but I love this show. I love learning about a culture that a lot of my friends are a part of as well as just learning about new cultures and things in general. This show is very well made and engaging!
I competed in a dance competition. Me and my friend do jazz and contemporary we are kind of sassy when dancing and really elegant and have technique. A Latino guy instantly whispered they dance like girls and called us gay but it was dancing I don’t know where I saw a law that guys couldn’t dance the way they wanted. Moreover, what he meant was girls are supposed to do ballet and contemporary anything jazzy or sassy and guys are supposed to do hip hop or breakdancing but he is just..... Sexist.
I love this video! I feel like I've been saying these things to my mom and aunts all my life... like why is it that I have to wash the dishes and learn to cook beacuse "I'm a girl" and why doesn't my brother because "he's a boy"....my family is very traditionally Mexican and no matter how much I say He should probably learn how to feed himself... it's always been your a girl and he's a boy. So thank you for making this video.
I remember my family throwing a huge fit when they found out I had a few guitars and skateboards hiding in the closet. They gave me such a hard time and would ridicule me about being "gay". I never understood why liking what I liked as hobbies meant that I also had to like the same sex. I couldn't even begin to tell you what controversy I caused in the family by joining the golf club and badminton team in Junior High and High School...forget about when I tried out for basketball and softball, I was forced to quit when they found out I made the team. Now with my daughter, they still try that b.s. They call her a boy because she likes rock climbing and because I refuse to pierce her ears until she's old enough to come up with that decision on her own. Stupid things that don't matter they make a HUGE deal about. I think the only thing that matters is raising good humans regardless of gender, no matter what excuse they make. My relatives think girls SHOULD be polite and respectful while the boys are allowed to be brute, tough, and disrespectful. Again, regardless of gender or sex, I expect all kids to be raised in a sense where they're great and kind human beings. In the end we are all human.
Linda is a girl. She loves the color blue. She wears the color blue. Jose is a boy. He loves the color blue. He wears the color blue. I can go on and on but they're both different genders. So what?
I only wear makeup when I’m feeling like being very expressive. I never do a natural look either. I go bare face, or wild. That way, nobody expects the “natural” makeup look from me everyday. And even when I do my makeup, it’s just a bright lipstick, some mascara, and a bold cat eye. No foundation, no blush, no contouring, no whatever else
I guess as a guy I break gender norms by having hair past shoulder length, but haven't really ever considered hair length to be influenced much by gender, more by current stylistic trends.
I'm not sure if I break gender norms at all. I don't look at femininity as ruffles and lace, nor do I live accordingly. I'm kinda girly, but I was kind of a tomboy growing up. Then again, my definition of girly is different than the next person. Kinda like the "like a girl" commercial from Always. My folks raised us to be ourselves. If I learned nothing else, I at least learned that. In short, I just live.
I never really talked about sex or gender as a kid. I don't really talk about it now either. But I'm a girl I like glitter and construction too. Feminine & masculine isn't really clear cut to me for example: why exactly is something feminine or masculine, to begin with?
Sometimes when I do my nails my son asks me to paint his, and I don't mind. But my family will take the polish off his nails and tell him he can only use clear because he's a boy. It ticks me off.
@@anangryclown1408 Listen nobody cares that you're a triggered lil transphobic incel. Dont you have a body pillow to cry into, snowflake? Get tf outta here pendejo
I'm addicted to the colours blue and black, struggle with make-up, love dragons and am fluent in industrial language (swear words) I'm also your annoying girl nuisance.
idk it this counts, but while me and my sister were spending the night over at my dads house, my nana and tata lived there as well. I woke up early and walked into the kitchen when right away my tata was telling me to make him breakfast and coffee in Spanish. I didn't understand him much as my brain was still waking up so it took him a few tries until I understood. once I did I looked at my nana who was still cooking breakfast and noticed the coffee pot was ready. I didn't do anything other then motion him to get up and make the coffee himself as I was now annoyed at him.
Me when I have a child: Person: awww, girl or boy? Me: neither Person: what? Me: they. Are. Neither. Deal with it. Then I walk away. It’s kinda funny because me and my friend have a joke that she will personally take me to get my hair cut so I can be my non-binary self.
I really love this video but I'd love to see an episode with more in-depth info on trans and nonbinary latinx identities... many of us have ancestry where gender performance and identity exists outside the white cis-heteropatriarchy entirely.
do people really put so much emphasis on what they can and cannot do based on gender roles? Never really met anyone who cares about it this much, and never met someone who limits what they can and cannot do based off of “roles”
Yes! My niece loves Spiderman, we get her PJs, shoes, and toys but sometimes my mom is like why don't we get her a Barbie and we have to remind her that she could not care less for Barbies. She has them but her younger sister plays with them. Kids don't know what they are "supposed" to play with so I let her be. If she likes Spiderman man she's getting Spiderman stuff from me.
Where you go wrong is not everything is either or, there are subtleties. Take me for example. I still like the pink for girls and blue for boys but I push soccer and martial arts on my daughter. I have no problem with that
That's the problem and that's where the subtleties you mentioned lie. We may no longer stick to traditional gender roles and have made some progress but there is no true equality yet. You may be fine with your daughter knowing martial arts and playing soccer but will you be ok if your son wants to do ballet or be a stay at home parent in the future? Would you be fine with him wearing a dress or makeup when your daughter is free to wear suits and regular shoes that aren't heels? If you have a problem with these things but you are fine with your daughter doing more "masculine" things than that is still s problem. Whether you understand it or not that mentality is harmful to your son due all the things that come along with it but it's also harmful to your daughter.
We love hand me downs so my baby boy has a lot of left over crap from my sister lol. No glitter cause ew but definitely some pinks which i personally love. Pink is such a nice color and it sucks how i kinda hated it growing up cause i was told it was a girl color and that its bad to be girly. Now that im older i love being girly! Kinda, (no makeup) but how girly is up to me just like i will leave it uo to my son on how he wants to express himself. Thankfully my husband is on the same page but i worry about our Mexican families mostly his tbh who are very into their machismo and all. Most of mine might be ok with it if my baby wants dolls but i feel like i will have many talks with my son after one of my husbands uncles says some dumb shit about women belonging in kitchens or pink is for girls. We'll see i guess.
Hmm, I Love Baseball. So my *Daughter* got, baseball mitt! A's cap, baseball bat! And We play catch! She asked if I wish she was a boy? Heck NO! She's my only child. Granted she doesn't like baseball as much as me...she likes.. soccer. ..ok..got her soccer ball and we kick ball around! *GOAL!! HOMERUN!* 😆
This is my favorite video ever gender rolls are shit I’m so glad this video is here. I’m transgender ftm but I still do some feminine things Bc everyone has masculine and feminine traits regardless of your sex. When I have kids gender roles aren’t happening :)
Love my father who did so much teaching to me...even had my first sex talk with me...weird but that made me more confident once I became a woman cause no man could use and abuse me cause my dad specifically talked to me about relationships...lets just say I may be too upfront with men and their games cause my dad showed me the plan before I got Into the arena
I think people just forget that our parents come from a different time and their parents come from an even more different time. Now we live in an age were we are more accepting to others and there life styles and we all know men and women are equal. So if my grandma says no you stay in the living room your prima is going to help me cook I try to explain that it’s ok for me to help but that I understand how she sees things, if I am ever lucky to have kids ( I personally hope to have a daughter) I will raise them how I see things that we are all equal and that we all need to learn how to cook clean do laundry change a tire repair things because I’m not going to raise no punks who don’t know how to take care of themselves
Gender is not as rigid as the right makes it sound nor as fluid as the left makes it sound. The majority of the Male population is masculine due to their testosterone and the majority of the Female population is feminine due to their estrogen. Even though we are also heavily influenced by our environment defining the nature vs nurture aspect. A close friend of mine is non-binary and hormonally androgynous but also is a Gender Realist. Even if you look at the Left vs Right dichotomy, Leftists seem to carry more "feminine" values such as equality, collaboration, and compassion for the underprivileged. Rightists seem to carry more "masculine" values such as hierarchy, conpetition, and might is right nationalism. It's like the Dutch Social Psychologist Geert Hofstede said when he made is six cultural dimensions, one of them I Masculine vs Feminine. He explained that in more Masculine countries(the most Masculine being Japan) gender roles are rigid, quantity over quality, live to work, boys fight and girls cry, but boys do not cry and girls do not fight, poverty is blamed on laziness, and children go to papa for facts and mama for feelings, etc. The opposite is that in more Feminine countries(the most Feminine being Sweden) gender roles are fluid, quality over quantity, work to live, both boys and girls cry, but neither fight, poverty is blamed on bad luck, and children can go either to papa or mama for facts or feelings. We need balance, some of us carry more of the Feminine values, and others the more Masculine values. It is even sociologically proven that Males have a higher chance of voting Republican and Females have a higher chance of voting Democrat.
I just want to raise a good respectful kid that will depend on herself not a man i encourage her to do well in school and not care about the people who say she should be more girlie she knows she can play sports and love science and math and like wearing dresses. I am teaching her to be a hustler not in the bad illegal way but to be strong and smart get a job save money go to college and not be a teen mom because thats hard i do hate when teachers tell me she should act more like a girl or she should talk like the other girls she hates that
When you’re non-binary and just feel uncomfortable in general by the whole idea of gender and gender roles because everyone is constantly pushing them on you.
Sometimes I get frustrated for my daughter. Someone once said "you'll get to cook with mommy!" My husband corrected them "I dont want her burning things! I'll teach my baby to cook." Hahaha
I'm a guy and if I want to drink a pink mojito I'll drink my god damn pink mojito even if everyone stares at me.
Hersa Hernan do it boo boo!!!
Hersa Hernan You go, bro.
You do you boo boo.
Hehehe. Fresa (+)
😂
Same with my brother! He prefers his drinks sweet and fruity. I'm a sweet tooth myself, but I enjoy hard liquor too. Either way, enjoy your drink. Cheers! :D
Females have a lot more things that are considered unisex for them though, and I don't think it's fair to men or women.

Yes this^
I know i plan on teaching my son to like whatever he likes and be what he wants although my crazy ass already wants him to be a famous musician but to be fair I'll want my future kids to be the same xD
Thankfully my husband is on the same page and we already know what to do if he wants something from the "girl section". Buy it. Unless its like ridiculous expensive xD
Completely agree! That's what it's all about, anyone can do whatever they want to do! It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman
I always saw woman have the neutral usage of any clothing item and any toy they could use and no one ever said shit
tiddiesforever gender roles are so tiring and annoying. I believe the only difference between men and females are their sex organs.
I'm half Peruvian and half Italian and I live in Italy. Gender roles are the weirdest thing to me since Italians and Peruvians have quite different opinions on what is masculine and what isn't and I remember being super surprised when I attended my first fashion design class at high school here and realized that most of the students were dudes lmao. I don't get why anyone should loose the opportunity of doing the things they love just because of abstract concepts of gender defined by a society that is always evolving, I'm so happy you've talked about this Kat!!!!!
Being a Latino woman I was always raised to become a good wife and mother , as if my value and expectation were tied in on how good of a wife I can be in the future . I actually started a good career young , kicked ass , got educated and started making good money ; it seemed though like my family really didn’t like me living on my own and doing my own things and I would get called derogatory things by tias and uncles (not all) they would say stuff like I go clubbing all the time and I’m gonna get pregnant because I have so much freedom . I want a career in which I can support myself , but that’s sooo weird ~ 🙄
Melody Perez Good for you! I’m lucky that my family has raised me to be independent. My aunty and father have been great role models. My dad always taught me to tougher than the guys (😂😂) and my aunty always tells me that I don’t need a man and to be a single women cause it’s great (she has a daughter). I am very career driven also and love having freedom.
You do you! 👍
Emma Ito that’s awesome ! It’s nice that we have generation filled with Latino women who want to be independent! Honestly my family is probably still thinking real old school.
Melody Perez grate!
I wonder if what they say comes out of a place of jealousy on their part. Eh, I can't speak on what I don't know. It was just a curious thought.
Don't let them bring you down! You're an independent person who is kicking butt and taking names. I'm so happy that you see value in yourself and live a satisfying life outside of the trap we call societal expectations. Live your best life! Much love and positive thoughts from Jersey!
My parents weren't the type to tell me 'you can't have that because you're a girl' But they still did things and expected things of me because I was assigned girl. They scold me more when it comes to cleaning and cooking, they say it's weird that I don't dress like other girls or that I look like a boy with short hair, and they wouldn't buy me the toys I wanted because they didn't think I would enjoy a remote control car or gun toy (which is stupid cause those are so fun). I think I personally have present more feminine now but that's just because I like dresses and make up is fun. It has nothing to do with my body. Men's clothes are still more comfy but I look cute in a dress too
My dad and father in law cringe when I talk about taking a trip and driving the whole 6-14 hours to wherever I’m going. Apparently women can’t drive for long distances or out of state? 🤦🏽♀️ My 6 year old daughter loves sports! Soccer and swimming are her faves. While my 5 year old son plays with barbies. “Omg!!!, you let him play with barbies?! But Barbies are for girls!!!” Ummm says whooo?!!!! He loves to dress them and play casita with them. I’m confident I’m raising a strong independent woman and caring and sensitive man 💕
Kay Lo that's weird well fuck them
That's great but make sure they both are independent and kind.
Ugh coming up With a name They already are Both independent and kind.
thats lovely! youre doing great!!!
Yessss go you !!! More moms like this 🎉🙌
This video couldn’t come out at a better time for me. I’m going to my prima’s “gender reveal party” tomorrow and couldn’t be more uncomfortable with the idea. They’re family and I support them so I’m going to attend but they are for sure getting gender neutral gifts from me.
Anaeale13 I hope they don't give you some shit for the toys
Anaeale13 awesome!!!!!!!! I'll be asking for gender neutral items when I adopt children.
Alicia MacFarlane who said the gifts had to be toys? The point of a baby shower is to help the mother and father prepare for the upcoming baby. Especially if they're first time parents anything is needed. So gender-neutral presents would be like bottles, diapers, bath soap, a bathtub anything like that. And you can get gender-neutral toys that are cute you can get like a giraffe or an elephant or a bunny rabbit anything. And it's cute. The difference is if the parents gets pissed off about it, the parents need to remember that they invited these people these people did not have to come and spend their money and buy them a gift. They came and bought the baby a gift because they love that person and wanted to show them support. At the end of the day they still did not have to come if they did not want to.
I know this was a long time ago so maybe your views have changed, but I think you're taking the whole gender thing way to seriously. It's almost as bad as a dad not kicking around a soccer ball with his daughter for force her to be more girly. If/when I have a kid, I'm going to treat them like the gender they are until they show interest in something that might not be traditional. If someone wants to give a kid a toy vaccume cleaner, that's cool. Both genders need to learn how to clean. I'm not going to force a dress on a boy as a baby, and I'll likely dress a baby girl up in a dress. I think it's good that focus on being a good parent rather than shove our views on gender on our kids, other people's kids, and on other people in general.
The men in my Peruvian family are always grilling the meat and tend to the bbq area. And my father always encouraged me to be a strong woman by playing soccer with me or making me throw out the trash or showing me how to change a spare tire so that I would never have to ask for a man’s help if I was ever in a rut. Both of my parents always shared the house chores equally, one week my dad would do laundry and the next my mom. It’s sad that kat’s dad just now stepped into the kitchen but I’m glad to see that it’s never late to change.
I’m a guy, I identify as more on the “masculine” side lifting weights, growing a beard, things like that so I’ve never really tried many “feminine” things. Recently I decided I wanted to try shaving my eyebrows cuz, damn they needed help. Offhandedly I mentioned this to a coworker. She was visibly offended that I could even think about doing such a “feminine” thing to myself. So naturally instead of just helping them out a bit I asked the eyebrow stylist to literally leave me with pencil thin eyebrows. Next day at work was the best day of my life. The woman had a damn conniption fit right before my eyes. She hasn’t talked to me since even though the brows are almost fully grown back. 😂 I’ll do my nails next time she says something to me.
Shave your head just to fuck with the haters.
LMAO!
Lmfao😂
I like your style! I feel like it's the office 2010s style, LOL .
All my life I was the only girl playing sports with the boys and still fem wearing lots of pink while winning every time lol
Ermila Mora That doesn't mean shit. Biologically you are a girl. That doesn't make you special or a boy.
Ermila Mora Did the patriarchy hold you down? Course not.
Intenxsify triggered?
Edwin triggered?
Intenxsify chill she didn't say she was special or a boy
I'm teaching my kids about this.
cristina solano How about teach your kids to believe in biology
Intenxsify that too honey, education is very important. Ignorance is our worst enemy.
cristina solano me too!! Once I have them.
cristina solano me too
A pinche Tina, no le enseñes eso a tus hijos.
Personally I think this whole gender things is being taken too far. While I do agree that both sex can perform in equal things like cooking or whatever. I don’t think there are more than 2 genders but I will happily respect anyone who prefers to be called they/them.
Crisduel I believe in biology
Me too
You said 2 genders. You mean sexes (and actually it's 3 for Intersex). Sex is biological and Gender is a social construct
Robert Martinez Intersex? That's a birth deffect. Gender (social construct or not) if you are biologically a fucking girl you are a girl. Period. "But muh feelings". Facts don't care about feelings.
she literally explained the difference between sex and gender and you want to come and comment this headassery
I challenged gender norms by changing a light bulb in my house on my own. I live away from my parents and I had never done it before even though it's basic house maintenance, but when I had to do it I mentioned it to my mom and she just said "ask [male friend] to do it for you". I got angry, because it's not rocket science, I'm perfectly able to do it and I don't want to depend on someone just because of abstract concepts! GIRLS DON'T NEED BOYS AND BOYS DON'T NEED GIRLS! We should all be independent and live to our full potential, beyond stupid gender norms.
Malvina Ghidetti stop whining
Malvina Ghidetti , no. I need the opposite sex and see no problem with it. Independence is overrated.
Sometimes my mom is cooking and my dad comes out of nowhere and says "help your mom cook"
And I ask why and he's like because your a girl and you have to learn how to cook because when your married your husband won't like it if you don't cook. And then he starts talking about other things but I don't pay attention.
Take away all of he food and money and lock them somewhere and leave him 7 pounds or dollars
Or whatever your currency is
Luna Artsandbooks he owns a business so yeah😐
Mr.Chicken Nuggets same ugh😣
Same and it’s annoying
I’m straight and cis-gender, and I love comics and action movies, and guess what, I love to do my makeup and my nails. For a lot of people it doesn’t really make sense🤷🏽♀️
What is cis Gender?
I was raised by my father, my brothers and from ages 2-6, my British grandma was helping out. I dug in the dirt,climbed trees and used my imagination a lot. Being a nerd, I wasn't that athletic.. I read A LOT. I was given quite a bit of freedom and being that my Dad did the majority of the cooking and tidying in the household, along with the nurturing, I never learned narrow gender roles. My father was also more gentle than my mom in most ways. My father read me stories and in addition to his career, he played music, painted and wrote poetry and enjoyed good food, theatre, and so on. I did learn to change a car tire and spackle a house from my Dad. (The older generations seem to be good at everything).
In essence, I was an introverted tomboy. I wore "boys clothes" from head to toe from age 7.5 to 13 or so, however sometimes I'd wear lipstick or earrings, or a dress when no one was watching. My mom tried to nit pick me for everything including my weight, whether I wore my hair up or down and my clothing. I got made fun of at school for my baggy jeans, boys high tops and my older brothers' vintage band or pop art t-shirts. However, I was the type to take no s*it and I'd raise my voice when people tried bullying me.
As I got older I realized I didn't fit traditional gender roles OR sexuality. Even though I look mostly feminine and enjoy both the normal stretchy jeans and t-shirt look and form-fitting (black) dresses, I consider myself gender fluid. When I went through puberty I became quite curvy and I was upset because the boyish clothing didn't fit anymore. I did learn to love my body and I usually love accenting my curves and long hair. However, I also love caps, "men's fashions" and I still love guy's style high tops (don't judge me, I'm an 80s baby from New York). I'd say I'm a feminine genderqueer tomboy femme, if we're labelling. One of my dreams is to own a black 3 piece suit that fits my curves nicely, and maybe a dress that looks just like the suit but with a skirt.
I hate gender reveals or putting kids in a box and oppressing them before they are born. I was wondering if you'd discuss the pink tax sometime ??
Love your videos!
So gender is just like language, religion, politics, and nationality i.e. guessed, appropriated, and learned.
nromk Yeah pretty much well gender roles but gender too I guess
There are only two genders
me concidero como alguien súper masulino, pero la gente tiende a "glorificar" mi persona, por el hecho que tengo piercings, el pelo teñido de rosado y me gusta cocinar y la jardinería, además de asistir a foros y conversatorios sobre feminismo y discidencia sexual. i mean, tengo una actitud bastante heterosexuada, y cuando era chico, presentaba una actitud mas o menos "normal" en cuanto a roles de género, pero después me di cuenta que los valores que me inculcaron no iban de la mano con lo que yo concideraba masculino o, lo que yo quería llegar a ser. al principio sí, mi familia me miraba raro por expresar mi gusto por la gastronomía y la horticultura, además, por cambiar mi imagen y por poner temas sobre feminismo en la mesa, pero después de un tiempo, simplemente me empezaron como a poner en un pedestal, por haber "roto los roles de género", cosa, que no debería suceder. nadie debería ser delimitade por los roles de género, independiente si decidas seguirlos o romperlos, pero nadie debería ganar mas espacios y privilegios por lo mismo. si un hombre, que de por sí ya es hombre, y decide romper con los roles de género, en los ambientes mas retrógrados de la sociedad, dígase una reunion familiar, la gente le va a dar un mayor permiso implícito para hablar y expresarse, en comparación con la prima de él, que ha pasado por exáctamente lo mismo, solo que (leer con voz de tía) "que una mujer rompa los estigmas de género está muy "trillado"" o (leer con voz de tío) "nosotros los hombres también sufrimos por cumplir las expectativas que se nos ponen, y mi sobrino abandonó sus privilegios para unirse a la lucha". eso no debería pasar. que alguien se exprese como se exprese, sea como sea, no debería ser glorificade o invisibilizade, la sociedad tiene que entender que los géneros no son algo fijo o tangible, son algo elástico, que varía de persona y en el tiempo, y que el modelo que a mí me impusieron ya está obsoleto, que ya es tiempo de un cambio, y tú, puedes hacer la diferencia. habla como quieras, corre como quieras, sientate como quieras, llora como quieras, exprésate como quieras. se como quieras...
Being Latina, the whole gender role thing is something you can’t completely get rid of. It’s a part of the culture my mom, aunts and uncles grew up in, then it transferred onto us (the children). Only difference is now that we’re adults, we don’t push it like our parents do, but the women still hangout in the kitchen, while the guys sit in the living room watching a game with drinks 🤷🏻♀️ My mom and I primarily clean the house and cook, while my brother only has to worry about his room and taking out the recycling. No matter how much I told my mom “it’s not fair”, I still had to do what she said and assumed my role as the woman in the house. When I have my own family, you better believe everyone is gonna clean, cook, and pull their weight lol
I truly believe that no matter what you identify as, as long as you arent harming yourself or anyone do, say, and look anyway you want and do what makes you happy
I would suggest reading Anne Fausto-Sterling’s “The Five Sexes” and other contemporary feminist literature that discuss gender/sex and their social constructions.
The thing with gender norms we have to remember are also based on class differences. Gender expectations for middle/upper class women will be different from working class women and men.
I was always a girly girl but I loved baseball and would go watch my boy cousins playing in little league. I always asked if I could play too but I was always denied. 😔 I had to do ballet, tap, and jazz. My mom later told me that he didn't want me doing masculine things because he thought I would become a lesbian.
COÑO POR FIN ALGUIEN CUERDO HABLA DE ESTO Y LO EXPLICA BIEN NOJODAAAAAA. Me encanta, I love it. You´re doing great, 11/10.
I BREAK GENDER STEREOTYPES EVERYDAY BY WEARING MY DAD´S CLOTHES, AND WATCHING FOOTBALL, AND ROLLERBLADING, AND ROCKING MY SHORT HAIR, MAKING GOOD OL´ AREPAS, AND BEING SUPER GLITTERY AND KIND TO EVERYBODY AT THE SAME TIME YEAAAAAAA
I’m not Latinx, as far as I know, but I love this show. I love learning about a culture that a lot of my friends are a part of as well as just learning about new cultures and things in general. This show is very well made and engaging!
3:46 the baby boy is Franklin D. Roosevelt former U.S. President 1933-1945
I competed in a dance competition. Me and my friend do jazz and contemporary we are kind of sassy when dancing and really elegant and have technique. A Latino guy instantly whispered they dance like girls and called us gay but it was dancing I don’t know where I saw a law that guys couldn’t dance the way they wanted.
Moreover, what he meant was girls are supposed to do ballet and contemporary anything jazzy or sassy and guys are supposed to do hip hop or breakdancing but he is just.....
Sexist.
Those toys are not appropriate for an infant.
I love this video! I feel like I've been saying these things to my mom and aunts all my life... like why is it that I have to wash the dishes and learn to cook beacuse "I'm a girl" and why doesn't my brother because "he's a boy"....my family is very traditionally Mexican and no matter how much I say He should probably learn how to feed himself... it's always been your a girl and he's a boy. So thank you for making this video.
I remember my family throwing a huge fit when they found out I had a few guitars and skateboards hiding in the closet. They gave me such a hard time and would ridicule me about being "gay". I never understood why liking what I liked as hobbies meant that I also had to like the same sex. I couldn't even begin to tell you what controversy I caused in the family by joining the golf club and badminton team in Junior High and High School...forget about when I tried out for basketball and softball, I was forced to quit when they found out I made the team. Now with my daughter, they still try that b.s. They call her a boy because she likes rock climbing and because I refuse to pierce her ears until she's old enough to come up with that decision on her own. Stupid things that don't matter they make a HUGE deal about. I think the only thing that matters is raising good humans regardless of gender, no matter what excuse they make. My relatives think girls SHOULD be polite and respectful while the boys are allowed to be brute, tough, and disrespectful. Again, regardless of gender or sex, I expect all kids to be raised in a sense where they're great and kind human beings. In the end we are all human.
Linda is a girl.
She loves the color blue.
She wears the color blue.
Jose is a boy.
He loves the color blue.
He wears the color blue.
I can go on and on but they're both different genders. So what?
"Just look at your tio..." Ha! gracias for this.
I only wear makeup when I’m feeling like being very expressive. I never do a natural look either. I go bare face, or wild. That way, nobody expects the “natural” makeup look from me everyday. And even when I do my makeup, it’s just a bright lipstick, some mascara, and a bold cat eye. No foundation, no blush, no contouring, no whatever else
I guess as a guy I break gender norms by having hair past shoulder length, but haven't really ever considered hair length to be influenced much by gender, more by current stylistic trends.
A must watch video. Love it
I'm not sure if I break gender norms at all. I don't look at femininity as ruffles and lace, nor do I live accordingly. I'm kinda girly, but I was kind of a tomboy growing up. Then again, my definition of girly is different than the next person. Kinda like the "like a girl" commercial from Always. My folks raised us to be ourselves. If I learned nothing else, I at least learned that. In short, I just live.
I never really talked about sex or gender as a kid. I don't really talk about it now either. But I'm a girl I like glitter and construction too. Feminine & masculine isn't really clear cut to me for example: why exactly is something feminine or masculine, to begin with?
I loved this. i REALLY REALLY LOVED this.
All clothes and items is unisex if you don't care enough, just do you
Sometimes when I do my nails my son asks me to paint his, and I don't mind. But my family will take the polish off his nails and tell him he can only use clear because he's a boy. It ticks me off.
vanilla9683 you're family needs to back tf off. He's your child not theirs
Michelle H. How about sending the child to a psych ward
@@anangryclown1408 Listen nobody cares that you're a triggered lil transphobic incel. Dont you have a body pillow to cry into, snowflake? Get tf outta here pendejo
@@anangryclown1408 How am I trolling 😂 Anyway transphobes can chew on a bowl of glass for all I care 😪
Kas P. There are only two genders and you will be dying alone
Did anybody notice that it said “it’s a gril” in the box that Kat popped out of?
I'm addicted to the colours blue and black, struggle with make-up, love dragons and am fluent in industrial language (swear words) I'm also your annoying girl nuisance.
idk it this counts, but while me and my sister were spending the night over at my dads house, my nana and tata lived there as well. I woke up early and walked into the kitchen when right away my tata was telling me to make him breakfast and coffee in Spanish. I didn't understand him much as my brain was still waking up so it took him a few tries until I understood. once I did I looked at my nana who was still cooking breakfast and noticed the coffee pot was ready. I didn't do anything other then motion him to get up and make the coffee himself as I was now annoyed at him.
Im so glad my parents treated me and my brothers as equals and taught us that we can do "manly" activities and they can do "girly" things
Just be whateva you wanna be
Me when I have a child:
Person: awww, girl or boy?
Me: neither
Person: what?
Me: they. Are. Neither. Deal with it.
Then I walk away. It’s kinda funny because me and my friend have a joke that she will personally take me to get my hair cut so I can be my non-binary self.
If someday I get pregnant I will throw a gender reveal party and when it's time for the reveal time I'll put a "gender is a social construct" sign
When I was born my mother made my bedroom entirely blue just cuz she liked it and everyone just assumed she had thought I was a boy
I completely resent the idea that lines and lemons are somehow the same thing
LOVE LOVE LOVE This !!!!!
Always loved this show but shit, by far the best episode ever!!! Thank you Kat!!!!
I've been in the army for almost 3 years, married for 1 year and my grandparents still think I'm going to abandon my husband and become a lesbian. 😒
I really love this video but I'd love to see an episode with more in-depth info on trans and nonbinary latinx identities... many of us have ancestry where gender performance and identity exists outside the white cis-heteropatriarchy entirely.
LOVEE KAT CALLS!!!!!!
love this
We could just stick with yellow 👐🏼👐🏼 just a thought ⭐️
do people really put so much emphasis on what they can and cannot do based on gender roles? Never really met anyone who cares about it this much, and never met someone who limits what they can and cannot do based off of “roles”
So true because they think my Tia can't be strong but nobody has ever beat here in a arm russle
I’m so thankful I didn’t grow up with gender expectations.
I tried to not force gender roles on my siblings.
I just make sure their just them self.
Kat are still making these Video's in 2021? I hope so! You are so Feminine/Pretty!
I love her voice.
Yes! My niece loves Spiderman, we get her PJs, shoes, and toys but sometimes my mom is like why don't we get her a Barbie and we have to remind her that she could not care less for Barbies. She has them but her younger sister plays with them. Kids don't know what they are "supposed" to play with so I let her be. If she likes Spiderman man she's getting Spiderman stuff from me.
Yes
48th and I love your videos so much
Edit:thank you so much
I’m breaking norms by wearing pants cause girls are supposed to wear pretty dresses back in the day but I hate dresses soooo
Where you go wrong is not everything is either or, there are subtleties. Take me for example. I still like the pink for girls and blue for boys but I push soccer and martial arts on my daughter. I have no problem with that
Toof Toof well would you get offended if your son wore pink?
RainSheep yes
That's the problem and that's where the subtleties you mentioned lie. We may no longer stick to traditional gender roles and have made some progress but there is no true equality yet. You may be fine with your daughter knowing martial arts and playing soccer but will you be ok if your son wants to do ballet or be a stay at home parent in the future? Would you be fine with him wearing a dress or makeup when your daughter is free to wear suits and regular shoes that aren't heels? If you have a problem with these things but you are fine with your daughter doing more "masculine" things than that is still s problem. Whether you understand it or not that mentality is harmful to your son due all the things that come along with it but it's also harmful to your daughter.
Your theater training is in musicals, Kat? I would like to see you perform as Elisa Schuyler Hamilton ;)
Gender roles doesn't make room for true equality.
Can someone make this in Spanish I want to show my parents 🙄😂😂 they need to learn more!!!
We love hand me downs so my baby boy has a lot of left over crap from my sister lol. No glitter cause ew but definitely some pinks which i personally love. Pink is such a nice color and it sucks how i kinda hated it growing up cause i was told it was a girl color and that its bad to be girly. Now that im older i love being girly! Kinda, (no makeup) but how girly is up to me just like i will leave it uo to my son on how he wants to express himself. Thankfully my husband is on the same page but i worry about our Mexican families mostly his tbh who are very into their machismo and all. Most of mine might be ok with it if my baby wants dolls but i feel like i will have many talks with my son after one of my husbands uncles says some dumb shit about women belonging in kitchens or pink is for girls. We'll see i guess.
When i was a little girl I used to play with dinosaurs and sharks but that didn't make be less of a girl
Thats a weird gift lol 😂, great video
Oh. My. God. Yes. Thank you so much for this. Honestly. I identify as a cis male but I take this kind of topic very seriously.
You do not identify as a cis male…real mean don’t use the word CIS
I instantly was annoyed when I heard the infamous “no es juguete no es de niña” 💀
Hmm, I Love Baseball. So my *Daughter* got, baseball mitt! A's cap, baseball bat! And We play catch! She asked if I wish she was a boy? Heck NO! She's my only child. Granted she doesn't like baseball as much as me...she likes.. soccer. ..ok..got her soccer ball and we kick ball around! *GOAL!! HOMERUN!* 😆
José Arturo cute
My opinion: Gender IS rigid NOT fluid.
I love you and TheKatCall is my favorite section of mitu
Dude, c'mon....just say thanks for the gift
This is my favorite video ever gender rolls are shit I’m so glad this video is here. I’m transgender ftm but I still do some feminine things Bc everyone has masculine and feminine traits regardless of your sex. When I have kids gender roles aren’t happening :)
I clean sometimes and my sister and mother just sleep! 😎
Broken Bros how does it feel to be a hero
Pineapple Pal nothing at all! My comment don't try to be heroic, my comment try to show that the gender doesn't matter to me and doesn't have roles
Broken Bros dude I didn’t mean it like that I just wish my siblings cleaned when I sleep.
I’m sorry if I was being rude.
Broken Bros family and are kinda don’t like chores chores in my house and when someone (doesn’t matter the gender) clean up it seen as hero low key.
Pineapple Pal sorry, I didn't understand your first comment! 😅 Jajajajajajaja lol
ok but the soccer ball didn’t need to be praised.... though a toy vacuum is weird.
"Boobs don't get in the way to hold a piñata! Just look at your tio." Hell yeah!
did anyone notice the box that says gril?
Okay but who’s is that guy at 5:29 he looks so familiar
I feel like the video could've been produced better. It's a good idea but it needs to be represented better.
Love my father who did so much teaching to me...even had my first sex talk with me...weird but that made me more confident once I became a woman cause no man could use and abuse me cause my dad specifically talked to me about relationships...lets just say I may be too upfront with men and their games cause my dad showed me the plan before I got Into the arena
Cringe
I think people just forget that our parents come from a different time and their parents come from an even more different time. Now we live in an age were we are more accepting to others and there life styles and we all know men and women are equal. So if my grandma says no you stay in the living room your prima is going to help me cook I try to explain that it’s ok for me to help but that I understand how she sees things, if I am ever lucky to have kids ( I personally hope to have a daughter) I will raise them how I see things that we are all equal and that we all need to learn how to cook clean do laundry change a tire repair things because I’m not going to raise no punks who don’t know how to take care of themselves
I think boys should play with baby dolls.... because they will be uncles and fathers one day. they need to nurture as well
I do not know where you getting your lemon from🤣🤣
Omg her makeup thoughhhhh. does anyone know her insta?
Gender is not as rigid as the right makes it sound nor as fluid as the left makes it sound. The majority of the Male population is masculine due to their testosterone and the majority of the Female population is feminine due to their estrogen. Even though we are also heavily influenced by our environment defining the nature vs nurture aspect. A close friend of mine is non-binary and hormonally androgynous but also is a Gender Realist. Even if you look at the Left vs Right dichotomy, Leftists seem to carry more "feminine" values such as equality, collaboration, and compassion for the underprivileged. Rightists seem to carry more "masculine" values such as hierarchy, conpetition, and might is right nationalism. It's like the Dutch Social Psychologist Geert Hofstede said when he made is six cultural dimensions, one of them I Masculine vs Feminine. He explained that in more Masculine countries(the most Masculine being Japan) gender roles are rigid, quantity over quality, live to work, boys fight and girls cry, but boys do not cry and girls do not fight, poverty is blamed on laziness, and children go to papa for facts and mama for feelings, etc. The opposite is that in more Feminine countries(the most Feminine being Sweden) gender roles are fluid, quality over quantity, work to live, both boys and girls cry, but neither fight, poverty is blamed on bad luck, and children can go either to papa or mama for facts or feelings. We need balance, some of us carry more of the Feminine values, and others the more Masculine values. It is even sociologically proven that Males have a higher chance of voting Republican and Females have a higher chance of voting Democrat.
I'm an 18-year-old girl and I break gender norms by not shaving my legs :)
I love this show a lot
I just want to raise a good respectful kid that will depend on herself not a man i encourage her to do well in school and not care about the people who say she should be more girlie she knows she can play sports and love science and math and like wearing dresses. I am teaching her to be a hustler not in the bad illegal way but to be strong and smart get a job save money go to college and not be a teen mom because thats hard i do hate when teachers tell me she should act more like a girl or she should talk like the other girls she hates that
i love how my cousin is a girl but she plays with "boy" toys like G.I.Joe and she loves them just as much as her barbies
Brendan Fraser is my gender
My comments prbly gonna be the only non serious one, did anyone see the Hamilton thing at 2:12
When you’re non-binary and just feel uncomfortable in general by the whole idea of gender and gender roles because everyone is constantly pushing them on you.
Same😔
Men And Women Are Normal And Productive!.
Sometimes I get frustrated for my daughter. Someone once said "you'll get to cook with mommy!" My husband corrected them "I dont want her burning things! I'll teach my baby to cook." Hahaha
