    It’s real in that it’s a human experience shared by some. It’s not real in that it’s not gender specific.

    The real meme is the fact that some people continue to perpetuate these outdated gender stereotypes.

        Do most people fit gender stereotypes, or do we pressure and condition people through cultural hegemony to fit themselves to gender stereotypes? Considering how much genders and their stereotypes change, it’s fairly safe to say it’s the second.

          Or we change what we consider to fit that gender over time, you know, like how pink was once a boy’s color?
