Stereotypes

The world we live in currently is riddled with stereotypes.

Gender reveals are waiting around to see the color blue for boy or pink for girls and full of excitement. But why can’t it just be the other way around? Blue for girls and pink for guys. Sounds weird doesn’t it? For Pete’s sake we are in 2018 people! You see guys doing things that are traditionally feminine and wearing clothes that a girl would; you see women wearing clothes that were traditionally for men and doing things guys would do. We all grow up with this stereotype of the whole pink and blue since as long as we can remember, learning from parents, teachers and any other “mature” figure.

There isn’t anything wrong with a guy wearing a pink shirt, and there is not anything wrong with a girl that likes to skate. It seems that mostly men are targeted by the stereotype. It’s completely normal for a girl to wear jeans; but any male would be shamed for wearing a dress, even though skirts were originally considered masculine.

A man wearing a dress doesn’t always necessarily mean he is gay, and that goes for females who dress in  masculine manner. That is often the first assumption that one usually goes to when they see a male or female wearing or doing something that corresponds to their opposite gender.
