After making Discussion: Gender Roles in Households , my mind went to a more personal topic. It’s more a rant than actually a discussion, even though I am interested to hear people’s opinions and possible experiences with this.
When I was in a same gender relationship I told my parents about it. One evening a bit later my mom asked me tons of questions about who the person I was dating was. What really still sticks to my mind is that my mom more or less assumed it was a girl with relatively masculine traits if that makes sense. It’s just an assumption but I feel like that comes from me being relatively feminine so she just assumed that would mean the person I date would be more masculine. Why can’t 2 feminine girls or 2 masculine guys be in a relationship?
Now, I’ve never really experienced someone like asking: ‘Who is the man in the relationship?’ But it turns out people actually get that type of question and it’s just kinda rude in my opinion, why does there have to be a man in any relationship in general. Why can’t it just be 2 individuals? This is an interesting read on the subject:
