I'm a feminist... But who's asking?


Yes, it depends on who's asking.

So I am your average feminist. One who champions for the cause of equality for all genders without forgetting that men and women are inherently different. Which doesn't mean that both genders can't do the same things, it just means we do the same thing in different ways. Sometimes, it's not just about genders. It depends on a person's temperament.

So it all comes down to the so called 'gender roles.' One is expected to behave in certain ways because it's expected of their genders. We are conditioned. 'It's not lady like'
'Don't cry, sissy.'
Women are never denied expressing emotions since their childhood because they are expected to. 
Men are supposed to be tough! (They will never know how good a solid session of crying feels. Just relieves the stress and tension)
Now we all know where this attitude has come from and hopefully, how we can change it. 
But do we? 
Nah, we just talk.
