If i were a Boy
Since I was little, I had wanted to be a boy for most of my life up till now (26). Although I was a lesbian in personality, I didn't look it at all. I thought of myself as 'handsome' while the world called me pretty, sweet and cute.....
I've had a great life as a girl. Pretty much attracting who I want to attract . I'm committed to being a good person to the other...
Women often encounter gender discrimination (intentional acts of bias against women), women in today's workforce, especially those working in traditionally male-dominated fields, are experiencing a much more camouflaged foe--second generation gender biases that are impeding their advancement and adding stress to their lives...
One common gender-biased dynamic is the way in which leadership tends to be judged in the workplace. "Good" leaders are expected to be strong, confident, and assertive. Yet, when women act strong, confident, and assertive, they're often perceived and judged as uncaring, self-promoting, and aggressive. And when they act in more collaborative ways, they're viewed as not possessing "good" leadership skills. It's a classic double bind.
SO..If i were a boy even just for a day....i swear to treat a girl like i would want to be treated(when i were a girl),. i would difinitely change the idea of gender discrimintion Hopefully,experiences will serve to shape the workplace into a place where the unique qualities of women will no longer be devalued and punished, but instead will be respected and embraced ...
And yet, women are alot more tolerant of things in general, and I think it would be nice to have the ability to not have to "perform" as much. On the other hand a woman's expectations of herself are alot higher, in general than a man, so it would not be easy in that respect either. Society has created alot of these expectations, and that's unfair in alot of ways. Judging and expecting people based on rather shallow outside cues is limiting for both people. I really think that the best of all worlds would be if we could change our gender at will, so we could decide if we wanted to experience today as a man or a woman. The next best would be to dress, act, be however you want, that day, or any other and not one other person would criticize or judge, (and hold it against you, ever)that expression. they would just accept you completely for how you are expressing yourself that day..
SO at the end of the day...i would still love to be a women, as god made me...
