Girl Vs. Boy
I feel that so many of us convey ourselves differently than we actually are. Hollywood plays a large role in how we grow up viewing things and so, we act differently. People begin to copy, consciously or not, what they see. A sort of monkey see, monkey do sort of thing. So when we describe men or women, I feel we describe them fairly accurately as stereotypical men or women. This is because we are describing the group, men or women. It is a completely different aspect when we look more directly to just one person. As a group, although, I feel that a common description is correct. Each man or woman shows more of what is “Hollywood” than who he or she really is. It is much easier to notice when you first meet someone and then realize how they change. At first he was seen more plainly as a common, average person. Until he transformed into whom he really is. The way I describe a man is just as I see it. And until I see it differently he is a stereotype, common man. I will admit, some men and women are not common at first sight. Then again, we are maybe only describing the unknown. We are stereotyping the display, the display that each man or women puts up to cover his or her real personality. I have not actually thought too long or hard about being a man. And the things I have thought of made being a man, easy. There would be no periods, no labor, no premenstrual syndrome, no makeup, no skintimate, no axillaries to shave, and no heavy purses to carry. But in a more realistic point of view, I have not. And really, I am not sure how much I would want to. It would be hard to do and even harder to find out what it would be like. Being a girl has its downfalls but, I would not change a thing. I guess I can never know for sure though:)
