I hate how things about gender are treated as if they're real when that's not how it happens
Well, I grew up with parents who don't really fit these gender stereotypes or memes. They each have their own personalities.
My mother did the household chores like many women do, but she wasn't like the typical "mother" stereotype. She was stoic, direct, and practical. She wasn't overly sensitive or emotional, yet she still cared deeply for us.
My father, ironically, was the emotional one. He was never afraid to express how he felt, even though he fit the traditional father role of going to work to provide for the family.
This is how I grew up, so I never found anything strange about it.
When it came to shopping, my mother preferred to buy what she needed and go straight home. My father, on the other hand, loved browsing stores, looking at new things, and finding interesting items to buy. I'd even roll my eyes because I just wanted to go home and rest, but my father would insist on walking around longer to see what else he could find.
The same thing happened when shopping for clothes. My mother didn't have the patience to wait while I tried things on. She'd usually say, "Just try them on at home, and if they don't fit or you don't like them, we can come back and return them." My father was the complete opposite. He always wanted me to try the clothes on in the store, even when I didn't want to. He'd patiently wait for me to come out and show him how they looked.
When I got on the internet, I was confused by all these memes and discussions that acted as if all women are emotional, boring, or not funny, while men are supposedly funny, cool, and simple. That just wasn't the reality I grew up with.
I hate gender wars with a passion.
