Your a woman you have to act this way, and you are a man so you have to act this way. If you don't act the way society say's your sex should act then your like an undesirable. The reason I writing this blog is because I have a eight year old son that he is being picked on at school by a classmate, because he is comfortable to say that he likes my Little Pony. This is just in a small scale, but there are other people suffering this and don't have anyone or anywhere to talk to, because of the belief system that girls should be this way and a boy a certain way, and pretty much if you act differently than your role in life pretty much your putting a target on yourself. I'm raising my son to be a man that loves life, respects women and be sensitive to their feelings. I'm raising him to be an individual and be comfortable in his own skin, but other people tell him to suppress his thoughts and not share his ideas, because then he is putting a target in his life. My son is not gay, but even if he was it is no reason for someone to pick on him. He is very much likes girls and respects them more than I have seen any other man that I have seen or met in my life besides my husband. When did pink became a girl color?? This kinda of a narrow society in the beliefs that girls should be this and a boy should be that, and colors go to a corresponding sex... Am I wrong in telling my son to be who he is even if he likes certain stuff that is not very masculine like other have stated to him while teasing him for liking certain stuff?? I'm proud of the little boy that I'm raising and the man he will become.I let my son have a baby doll when he was a little boy, and some of my family members thought what is wrong with me to have him play with dolls, and I said I'm trying to teach him that the parenting doesn't only lay on the mother but also on the father.I was raised in a culture that women do the cooking, clean,having the children, taking care of the kids. The men are suppose to provide the money to the house, wait for his wife to serve him. I believe parenting involves both people that help create this new life.
