Society expects
men to like and do certain things, and
women to like and do other things. Of course, the
majority of things
overlap, but if you're a
guy and you like to do things that
girls tend to like doing more, you're suddenly labelled as being
gay or
sissy. If you're a
girl and like doing things that
guys tend to like doing, you're labelled as a
tomboy or in
extreme cases, a
lesbian. I've seen cases of
this and it's quite irritating. I feel
people should be able to do what they want to do without worrying about being thought of as
gay when they're not (or vice versa!).
For an
example of this that really
pisses me off, see
people who think male catlovers are gay.
