Lets say you’re going on a date if you’re a female, you’re date is taking you to see a movie. The man is generally assumed to pay for his dates ticket. If the date gets cold in the movie theatre the guy is supposed to offer his jacket. WHY? I mean if girls are supposed to be equal and all that jazz than every one should just for there own things right? Wrong! What I’m trying to get at is that not all types of gender “unfairness” can be excepted by everyone even today. Some guys may argue that they think it’s not fair to have to be assumed “stereotypically” to do this. But I feel like. We can’t change right now, at least not easily, the gender issues that everyone else posted about. So as guys I feel like we at least can take that sort of responsibility if girls can take all of the negative stereotypes. It’s almost like it’s only fair. Now I’m not complaining that guys have to do these things, and I’m certainly not saying that girls CAN’T do these things that guys are supposed to. I mean I’ve been plenty of places where I’ve actually been paid for, by a girl. Guys dont have to do everything for the girl but it is still looked at as common curtacy. I know that my post seems like i’m not aware of the negative things that are out there about girls, trust me I am, it’s just everyone already posted about those and I wanted to sort of bring a different angle on it all. I may have just completely been rambling and so you might not understand just what that angle is so let me sum it up for you. Guys are stereotyped to “have” to do things for girls. I feel that it’s a good thing, it’s curtacy and women are treated in such negative ways that we sort of might “owe” it to them. It’s not that girls “can’t” do things it’s that curtious men will do them without reason, just because. All of the negative issues are out there here is just one situation where I think that gender stereotyping isn’t completely negative.

This couldn’t be more true. If a guy on a date doesn’t pay for the tickets or doesn’t offer her his jacket when its cold he is considered a jerk and worst case senario, no second date…

I agree, it is only fair that men have that common courtesy, since women have so many negative thoughts toward them. Plus I have a boyfriend, and we always take turns paying for things. So nice point and I understand what you mean.

Equality is a word people use lightly. It literally means to be of equal worth and value. People use it like a ool for the you think your better than me argument, or the why do you get paid more than me argument. But in most cases can equality be in action to it’s fullest extent. no. a moan may be a mechanic and take the position of a secretary, but what if he isn’t smart enough for it. A woman may be a secretary and take the job of a mechanic, “What’s that light mean” (lol. Oil lights been blinking for the last six months). it’s various in dosage because the jobs vary.
opinions, opinions, opinions.
people for forever have thought peace and equality is the best way to live. better for ourselves, our planet, and our lives and those involved. But never has it come to be…. right isn’t alwasy right for everyone.
dang it, last blog, pierre3 sykes, and i wish we could post and respond in our own blogs. wsuclass blog, but have a user account to comment and such. think about it.
Nice post, I actually agree. I just think you should be nice regardless of which gender you are.
Awesome post, i think you are totally true and you make a good point. It is nice to see that you feel as a male to have the common courtesy to be nice to women. It is nice to see that a guy can see that girls are always seen in the most respectful light instead of being thought of in a negative way.
