there was a picture here
if you're called girly and take offense, i think you must have some kind of insecurity about your sexuality or masculinity. if someone calls me girly i just laugh at them in a girlish giggle.
Dividing things into girly and manly is stupid to begin with, imho. Just do whatever makes you happy.
sorry, but to me painting your nails or wearing makeup like eyeliner and whatnot if you're A- not in a movie/tv show or B- a clown will always seem girly to me. there are certain things that people consider 'girly' or 'manly' and a third class that we consider neutral toward gender. granted, our dfinitions are sliding toward neutrality on all accounts, but it'll be a while before we're all the way there.
We consider those things girly because its what we have been taught, but can you explain what exactly makes it girly?
of course
women use make up to appear more attractive. they put lipstick on to make their lips appear more like an engorged sexual organ, they put blush on to make their face seem more flushed and aroused and healthy. they accentuate their eyes making them seem bigger...
?
And if a man uses it to be more atractive? How is that different?
Being female != being inferior. For example I'm pretty terrible at..ah I'm going to leave this train of thought to myself. The point is that when guys call other guys 'gay' or 'girlie' it immasculates them.
Interestingly I don't think there's a word you can call a female that does the same thing. For example if a girl farts loudly, burps, and is in dirty clothes....she's still a girl. I can call her 'unladylike' but the semantic meaning is different than calling a guy a fairy or a gay.
i don't know what women find attractive. all i'm saying is i understand why a woman would wear makeup but i don't see how it would make a man more attractive. i don't think that eyeliner and lipstick and nail polish make him such, i don't know if guys who do wear these things even do it to look more attractive.
I'll joke around sometimes with the word, "gay," but I would never use words likes, "girly," or, "gay," as an insult because to do so implies that there's something wrong with being that way. There's nothing wrong with girls or homosexuals (at least not as a group) so it makes no sense to call people that as an insult because it insults an entire group of people more than the individual you intended to insult.
Oh, and Pyro, continue doing all those things if that's what you like to do. Hell, carry a purse if you want. Just make sure you're able to call it a purse. If you're secure enough in your manhood to do all these things that people would call you, "girly" over, then you should be secure enough to ignore them when they do it.
excatly, people calling something gay because they dont like it or whatever dosent mean they are against gays, its just a word that gets said a lot these days :rolleyes2Originally Posted by The Ceej
If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.
Changed to stop Jessweeee♪ from going insane. Is that better?
I'm surprised the women of this community have enough reasoning to fathom the complex ideas proposed by this thread topic concerning gender identity and gender roles. The definitions regarding sexuality and inferiority should really be left to us men to ponder and impose as we see fit. Now lunch isn't going to make itself.
pure awesomeness....i would nominate yam our president if he hadn't already crowned himself our emperor.
Wait. Don't you mean if Bush hadn't already crowned himself our emperor?
your emperor perhaps, not mine.Wait. Don't you mean if Bush hadn't already crowned himself our emperor?
