Guy bucket list

[Alice Bracken]

I cant say that it is a male only thing but i kinda wanted to get this project running and go on a poker run with all of my friends....

Am I really the only one that doesn't have anything masculine or male that I really never or has anything male I don't care to do?

If you're talking about the oozing testosterone, "Grog make fire" type, then no I'm with you.  I have a list of sporting events I would love to see on my bucket list, but I come from an active family and I work in gambling. Sport has always been apart of my life.  So it would be natural for me to want to see these places. But I can do them as a guy or a girl they are not exclusively male.

I think part of it comes from the gender bias we are guilty of occasionally. From what flowers we give a new mother, to the first toy you go to give a child. To qualities we associate with the genders. 

It may be unintentional but over time some activities become perceived as. "Oh yeah that's a real guy thing" or "Your doing that!  but that's for girls"

Maybe I am just weird, strange, or whatever. I have never had anything "guy" that I ever wanted to do. BTW I know how to make fire, But my name is Jessica and have a Bic and plenty of newspaper.

I don't know, the more I think about it the weirder or more abnormal I seem.

You use a bic and newspaper? I have my pop's temper I've been told I can look at something and it will burst into flames .

You're drive a truck occasionally correct? Wouldn't some people consider that a "guy" thing to do. The fact that you are thinking you are weird is what makes you normal. We are all individuals (no I'm not), unique and different in our own way.  If we where all the same I would have to start looking for the pods lying around and start heading for the hills.

Drive a lifted pickup truck and roll coal for a city block.

Where I was raised, girls were as likely to do this as the boys, same with hunting, fishing, and driving tractors to school (yes, people actually would drive farm tractors to school on occasion for special days).

Yeah occasionally I drive a truck, and did for a long time but good god, do you know how many women in the US drive trucks, so no it ain't a "guy" thing anymore by a long shot. It may be 4 to 1 man to woman driving trucks here. Power steering and automatic transmissions on some trucks for husband and wife teams that can't drive standard transmissions. Not to mention there are other drivers that are trans out there so I would say it is probably about half and half ciswoman, transwoman together and man possibly. I have definitely seen my share for sure.
