Androgyny rules
I still have to finish my article for 201, but tonight I concluded that the ideal personality for a man OR a woman involves the encapsulation of the positive traits associated with both the feminine and masculine, and does not include any of the negative traits stereotypically associated with either gender. Conclusion: Society can suck it.
Such positive traits include:
(Typically masculine) independent, active, logical, ambitious, self-confident, adventurous, leadership, making decisions easily, being direct, enjoying math and science
(Typically feminine) emotional, tactful, talkative, gentle, aware of others' feelings, neat, nurturing, enjoying art and literature, expressive
I'm not going to go into the negative traits because there are about three negative feminine traits for every negative masculine one, which kind of made me mad (and more of a man) haha.
But as one of my interviewees said, this stuff has nothing to do with sex appeal. If you're hot, you're hot, and both people having masculine and feminine personality traits would just make the sex better (more confident and expressive, for example) for both of them.
I've got a fever something awful! Hope I'm better before I go out for dollar pints tomorrow :)
Also, I just finished the last of my statistics assignments. All that's left = the final. YES!
