Gender rolls and frustrating women.

Everyone who ready knows the story Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, right? Well in case you don't, it's the story of a girl in the 1800. She falls for a rich guy, Mr Darcy. He's pride and she had Prejudice, and it's, in many's opinion, the best love story ever written.

If you look at the actual plot, the story is about how important it is to get married as a woman. Over the years this has changed, and in out society, women can be independent, and don't have to get married.
We can have any job, and we've gotten to the point where you can work full time, and the men can stay home.

So, why is aunt Hilda frowned upon because she isn't married?
Why is it considered bad not to want children?
Why are women still sometimes considered object, prizes for men to show off?
and will we ever truly get over gender roles?

For example, at my school we're divided by gender. The girls dance, and the guys play ball games.
I had this friend, and she was always against this, like me, she thought that it was wrong, and gender discrimination. The teachers pretty much hated us because we actually answered them back with qualified arguments.

Since then my friend got her boyfriend. Now she tottaly agrees with dividing boys and girls, saying ''boys are stronger, so obviously they should be doing ball sports''. And she will actually start arguing with me now when I don't want the guys and girls to be divided.
She can see herself getting married to her boyfriend. She's fifteen.

Why is it that, even though it's proclaimed that it's okay to be an independent woman, people go back to gender rolls anyways?

I wouldn't consider myself a feminist, I just want equal rights for all. Blacks, Jews, Gays, Women, Men, Bisexuals, and Middle-Easterns.

It's just hard for me to see gender rolls getting re-established when it's been worked to hard to get them removed. But on the other hand, if that's what women want, I mean, if they actually want to be repressed, should they be?

Welcome to the world of believing in one of the most hated religions in the world.

My little sister just got threatened because she's Jewish. Someone literary told one of her friends to ''beat up that girl because she's Jewish''.


I'm so pissed right now. Like, I am so mad, that I am actually crying. You all remember that video with the guy flipping out because his mom had cancelled his WOW account ? That's how I feel.

How can we live in a society, where it's okay for a muslim to threaten a jew, or a christian for that sake.....But the moment you point out that a muslim isn't behaving well, you're a fucking racist.

And people wonder why I would vote DanishPeople party.

I'm so mad about this.
It's like, I'm a cool person until they figuire out I'm jewish, Then I'm just horrible.
What the fuck is that ?

Urgh. I'm sooo worried, not just about my little sister, but also the world we live in.

Fuck this. I have to go to work.

I Hate it when you assume.

I hate it when you assume

That we're still friends, after all the shit you put me through, all the times you pushed me aside or forgot me. Don't go poking me on Facebook, the only reason I haven't removed you is because I'm not in the mood for Drama.

When you think I don't work hard for my grades. Damn it, I have to work really hard to get the grades I do, It doesn't just come naturally to all of us, I mean, we can't all be Selena Gomez.

When you judge me because I'm emotionally damaged. I'd like to see you walk in my shoes and be normal, so if I want to be sad, for gods sake, let me be alone, and don't bug me.

When you changed. I admitted I liked you, and then you said you liked me back. After that, you changed. That sucks, go back to being the guy I liked.

When I have an awesome blog that no one follows.

When I'm not old enough to get something posted on thoughtcatalog.

When I have to worry about life and not just get to be a kid.

When I have an awesome idea for a book, but I'm too late.
