There was a comment online about a teenage couple. The comment was something like, “OMG there such a good couple, she,s hot and hes nerdy they wouldn’t be if he was HOT and she was a NERD.” I hate people’s stereotypes on how each gender should be. Similarly, at every school, it seems, a boy gets branded as a ‘nerd’ or a ‘geek’ if he works hard, you only get told to be proud of being a ‘geek’ in the face of bullying if you’re a girl. This, as well as the fact that boys are stereotyped as violent, results in many boys being idiots in order to counteract the ‘geek’ stereotype.
Speaking of stereotypes (I’m rambling now), my R.E. teacher once referred to decorating your work as ‘girlifying’ it. I wish I’d thought of going on ‘work decorating strike’.
