What Gender Roles do you not ascribe to?

[Hollock]

I don't like sports or cars at all, and I like folk music...

 

[Hollock]

that enjoying cars and guns is wrong.

...but your profile picture is a gun

 

[manic_depressive13]

I probably shouldn't be in this thread, but I've never categorised the things I do into masculine and feminine. They're just... things I do. It's not as if anyone completely subsribes to or subverts gender roles. Then they would just be some absurd caricature.

i meant that because im a girl, society generally says i shouldnt be into cars or guns or anything like that

 

[Vault101]

hardly any at all

I HATE romantic comdeies and all the cliches assosiated with them...the inrealistic Ideas of finding mr right...that a womens goal in life is to find a man..have the PERFECT wedding

I DONT want to be a housewife...I resent the very Idea

I hate high heels

I dont feel the need to put pink everywhere, generally I think its an ugly colour...(in some cases its not so bad)

I play games violent or otherwise...anyone insinuating I'm not a "real" gamer or a poser or not "that" into it can fuck off (excuse the profanity)

I like action and sci fi movies

I hardly wear dresses or skirts (I wear a skirt to work however)...mostly jeans and sneakers (when I can)

I have no interest in fashion and most of it goes over my head

I dont give a fuck about celebrities and find it hard to understand why anyone does

I drink engergy drinks which are very obviously targeted towards males (because I dont drink coffee)

I love NIN and rap (especially rap) my favorite song by eminem is also one of his most woman hating

when I was a kid I prefered boys toys

-I spend more money on tech than clothes. Along with this, I hate shopping for clothes.
-I hate chick TV shows like the Bachelorette or Fashion/Celebrity Gossip.
-I'm a gamer, which is still a dude thing.
-My magazine of choice is Game Informer and not some women's magazine. I can't even name one. Like... Cosmo? I think that's one.
-I listen to metal, which has a high male fan base, almost exclusively.
-I don't expect a man to support me and be my Prince Charming. I plan on earning my own income and having a career.
-I despise Twilight and cheesy romance flicks.

Suck it, female stereotypes.

agreed, the thing stuff targeted towards females just sucks outright (most of the time) I find female sterotypes worse than male sterotypes

Don't like
- Sports (watching nor playing)
- Pee standing up (unless an urinal is open)

[xmbts]

It would be easier to count the one's I do...

 

[eTe]

Marry me?

I feel so honored! I've been proposed to on the Escapist. ...Now if only guys in real life would appreciate my lack of uber-femininity.

You're not meeting the right men, although I think it's the sailor swearing that really di it for me.

On topic: Where to begin...
1) I have a weird thing about my hair
2) I'm studying drama, and I'm very good at effeminate roles... For some reason...
3) Show me an engine, I'll show you a book, then go and read it.
4) Mindless violence just irritates me
5) Pointless male posturing does as well
6) I'd rather play an obscure platforming game than a guns out man fest
7) I despise football, it's dull to watch, play and sing about
8) I like emotional heart to hearts
9) I prefer long term relationships over one nightstands
10) Many more... But I shall not clog up the forum


(I have a horrible feeling that if Liberal Squirrel does accept I may swiftly be made her ***** D

Aw, you sound adorable. A guy who enjoys books, obscure platforming games, and is actually interested in a long term relationship? And studying drama? I may be averse to marrying strange men that I meet on a gaming website, but I will friend you.

And yes, I have a feeling you would indeed be made my *****. ;P

This story made me teary almost. Someone should make a movie about it.

 

[SckizoBoy]

I am a woman so here goes...
-I swear often.
-I despise (most) chick flicks.
-I am a very sexual person, and I have a higher sex drive than most people or at least the ones I have met.
-I can have a relationship based purely on sex and not become attached emotionally.
-I am loud.
-I laugh when someone farts.
-I hate talking on the phone, but I do love texting so maybe that one doesn't count.
-If you want to go with some really antiquated gender roles, I am very opinionated and I tend to be a dominant sort of person in general.
-I am not currently in a kitchen. Shocking, I know.

Despite this, I also have several traits that are highly feminine. I love to bake, like children, want to become a public school teacher, and I have a mothering streak a mile wide.

... Apart from the sex thing(s) (as far as I'm aware... ahem...) you sound just like my sister. *brr* Most of her boyfriends have essentially been her bitches (and even I'm scared of her, and let me put this into context, she's 5'2" and looks as though a breeze could knock her over).

OT: Guy here... though I adhere to most societal norms of what a 'manly man' should be:

1) I enjoy cooking and baking, and most people tell me I make damned good three course meal.
2) I clean up after myself, have a look at my studio flat, the only stray items are the carrier bags that I will use for rubbish.
3) I do let myself become emotional and freely cry when watching depressing movies.
4) I'm fussy about the state of my hands, washing them every time they've even potentially gotten dirty.
5) I read/watch shoujo manga/anime (though I'm picky and there are few that I genuinely like).
6) Though it's common to older men (read: 60+), I cross my legs in the 'lady-like' way.
7) Most people would probably disagree but I think I'm not particularly tech-savvy.
8) I love cute things (kittens, plushies and so on).

Having said that, I indulge in a lot of violence (martial arts etc. as well as in-game), have an obsession with military history, know my way around field-artillery, small-arms and bladed weapons from most eras, can name virtually every WWII tank just from their profile silhouettes, and thoroughly enjoy cricket and football (soccer for you weirdos over the pond) (watching and playing for both).

EDIT:

I'm a woman and I've often been told that I should've been born a man haha. On the outside I'm quite girly. I enjoy make up, clothes etc but I love talking about sex, I love video games, I can't cook, I'm a total slob, my closest friends are guys (straight and gay), alcohol is my best friend, I smoke, I can never be arsed to shave my legs, I swear like a trooper etc

Cue mass propositioning... /jk

[KaizokuouHasu]

I don't ascribe to the male gender role of having sex with women.

That lack of sex, of course, isn't by choice. *foreveralone.jpg*

 

[Phantomess]

Hrm, well, I did a degree in video game design, coming across from microbiology. I hate wearing dresses and the only heels that I voluntarily wear are leather boots. I have a passion for motorbikes, sci-fi and video games, I hate chick flicks and the only make up I own is for stage performances (mostly black eyeliner).

Other than that, really typical girl. I talk to my girl mates about boys, I like fairly standard music (read: Bon Jovi and related music) and restrictively I like shopping (depends on what I'm buying). I'm also a rather good cook and my hot chocolate is to die for.

 

[Jedamethis]

Adoring kittens and fluffy animals is perfectly manly. T.T

You call them girl mates, is that even a thing?


Anyway I thought I wasn't going to live up to a lot of the "man standards" but the more I try them the more I enjoy them.

Things I've found myself doing that I didn't think I would:
-Driving a manual is fun, driving in general is fun so I'm starting to edge towards top gear-ness.
-Once I started working out I really found it quite addictive.
-Drinking is fun (though I'm a lightweight so an iron stomach is one thing I won't achieve)

OT:
Ooh I got one! I don't like watching Rugby, Cricket or Aussie Rules football or many sports in general, I will watch Football though and Tennis as well as women's beach volleyball come Olympics time. (Also general olympic sports)

 

[Burntpopcarn]

I am a guy
-I don't take many risks
-i don't play a lot of sports
-i'm as thin as a wire (not really, i'm just really skinny)
-i'm the biggest loser/geek in my class
-due to the latter, i'm very sad and lonely.
-both the latter and the former are due to asperger's syndrome. CURSE YOU BRAIN DISORDER!!!
