As a class assignment, we read the article Pink Think by Lynn Peril. The article discusses the definition of femininity--as defined in the 1940's-1960's, and as defined by the author today. I thought I would visit the other end of the spectrum and discuss the stereotypes of men...
How does a man's mind work? Though I will never truly know the answer to this question, there are many aspects that I have figured out. A man's mind works in double standards. It is "cool" and boast-worthy to sleep around with multiple girls. However, if the girls he is sleeping with sleep around with other guys, they are considered to be easy, slutty whores.
Men are also confused about the woman's role in the household. If both parents work full-time jobs during the day and get home from work at the same time, the man believes it is still the woman's job to cook dinner for him and the children, clean the house, do the dishes, give the kids a bath, read bedtime stories, and tuck them in to bed--all while he is lounging back in his Lazy Boy watching Sports Center! Last time I checked, it took two to make a baby..and two to raise one right!
