When it is just what I want to do vs. what I should do, it's pretty easy to decide ultimately because I can't live completely hedonistically. However, when it comes to things where I feel like I'm expected to act a certain way because of my gender, particularly because it goes against how I WANT to act, I come into conflict. I hate gender roles, so I feel like on one hand I should be able to behave how I want and not be judged any differently than a man, but that's not always how it works. One place this typically is a problem is dealing with sexuality.
Basically what I'm asking is girls, do you find yourself stuck in this kind of situation, and how do you deal with it? And guys, what's your take on the whole thing? Am I making a big deal of nothing, or is it still important that girls play the "girl" role, as in not playing hard like one of the boys?
It's like you have to chose between pure or whore.
