Gender stereotypes
Gender Sterotypes put restriction on both men and women. For example
Girls are prevented to join sports and boys are prevented to express their feelings
Liberating men from such stereotypes can bring freedom to women.
If men dont have to be aggressive in order to be accepted, women wont feel compelled to be submissive.
Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive.
Both men and women should feel free to be strong
Gender should be seen as a spectrum instead of two sets of opposing ideals.
We should stop defining each other by what we are not, and start defining ourselves by who we are.
