Ladies

In North America at least, we have more freedom to express ourselves than men do. We get shit for it, yeah, people call us over emotional, irrational, and our interests and opinions aren't taken as seriously than if we were men, but we can express ourselves to a fair degree without being shunned by society. It seems like men are only "allowed" to show a very limited range of emotions, have "manly" hobbies or interests (whatever that is), and behave in a more dominant manners unless they want to risk having their masculinity questioned, and be called names and generally be thought less of. Anything considered even remotely feminine is off limits unless you want to be called a pussy, it seems. It's fucked up how femininity is equated with weaknesses and sub-par attributes. And anyway, why should emotions and self expression be considered "feminine" when it's just human? It has nothing to do with being male or female, it is inherently human.
