Do you match the cultural stereotype of your gender?

Question

Does religion weigh into this? Meaning, did God create man to be mascuile and woman to be feminine? Or are these created by the culture?

Answer 1

I’m a strange mix. On one hand I like sports, enjoy working with my hands and building things, think a great night consists of poker and beer, and do other things that are traditionally “male.” On the other hand I read fashion magazines, buy more clothes than I should, paint my nails, like to knit/crochet/sew, and love to cook.

I think the ideas of what should be “male” and “female” are a result of cultural conditioning.

Answer 2

No, but there are more of my "type" now than 50 or 100 years ago due to more financial freedom. I accept some roles of my gender, and some I reject absolutely. Traditional religion has not factored into this, even though I was raised in a religious family. I have my own spiritual path, and it continues to develop as I get older. The creation of man/woman has its reproductive purpose, I don't think God really care who does what. That's been left for individual choice and cultural necessity to work out. Females bearing young has a huge impact on role, as well.

Answer 3

Which GOD? Yahweh? Jehovah? The Lord Almighty? Allah? Zeus? And yes I do think that both religion and other aspects of culture define what is masculine and what is feminine. And no, I am an amalgam.

Answer 4

Not really. I'm compassionate and analytical. Not at all like the "red-blooded American" stereotype. Culture defines what roles are masculine or feminine. What may be manly in one culture might be a woman's task in another.

Answer 5

I gotta say that Rachel V.T. describes herself as the perfect Australian Woman... only I wish she would come back to her home country!

I'm sort of metro-sexual except I don't shave all my body parts... just a light trim for me.

I am a raging drag queen when it comes to theatrics. I am a testosterone driven "Terminator" when it comes to working out in the gym and sports.

I drink cocktails but wash them down with beer.

I do the cooking at home and moe the lawns and my wife trims the edges and peels the vegetables.

I have a drop saw, a kangahammer, three different kinds of electric sanders, two circular saws, a Gernie and a router, but I also like to darn my own sox when they need it.

I grow roses but like fast cars.

I like porn and chick fliks.

I think it is fair to say that I am kind of ambiguous with respect to the steriotype.

The steriotypes are a myth.... promoted by bigots.

Answer 6

i think of that credit scores are a variety of economic discrimination, notably for undesirable human beings and center classification. in basic terms think of approximately it for a minute. Being born right into a cycle of poverty (multi-generational), occurs greater often than we'd care to confess. this may well be a cultural element. and somewhat because of the fact of government courses getting decrease, there isn't any way out.

Answer 7

God didn't create gender stereotypes, ding-dongs like you did. If people expect me to act a certain way just because I have female anatomy (which nobody even sees, by the way), then too bad, I guess I don't live up to their expectations. I don't follow any gender roles.

Answer 8

I am pretty evenly balanced in the yin/yang department...probably more feminine than many of the women in my culture who are younger than I am though...I enjoy activities that were considered appropriate for females in the 1950s...

Answer 9

I'm not stereotypical anything. These are created by culture.

Answer 10

No I don't. IMHO so called "Gender Roles" are well and truly created by society and not by a Deity that may or may not exist.
