Journal Challenge Day 2

Manliness and femininity have been defined in different ways at different times. What does manliness and femininity mean to you personally?

Well, this one is a bit hard as someone who was raised by a single mom, I didn’t really have a man figure in my life for the most part, other than I was pretty young when my mom was with this guy I actually remember calling dad. I’m actually friends with him on Facebook to this day. Two years ago I did reconnect with a lot of my biological dads family which has been wonderful. My husband is totally different he was raised by his grandparents. Personally, I don’t like many labels because there is just so much negativity to most of them including manliness and femininity. Personally I like that there’s less focus or I think there should be. Not saying men can’t still be certain aspects that’s usually associated with manliness same with women on femininity, it’s just where we start saying people can’t do things due to their gender, which mostly affects women is where I have the problem. I also don’t believe women should get treated poorly because of certain social pressures either and should feel they can speak their mind and be heard without name calling, body shaming, and everything else that women especially go through.
