three typically male traits you will never give up.

[iminadaze]

There are only innappropriate people and situations to use some words.

Yes, I find it innappropriate, and I don't want my daughter growing up thinking that it is acceptable,
which is that much more difficult to do when her *outside* surroundings suggests that it
is acceptable, but it is out of my hands, seems society is raising my daughter...and not doing a very
good job.

Here's some advice for you young people, from your mother.

Oh! I am sending this to my daughter's myspace or something...she has to see this 

[lacitychick21]

1: My love for cars. (You have to see my coffee table... it's littered with car mags.)

2: My love for women. (You should see me when I'm drunk at clubs/bars: "omigod. yer so pretty.")

3: My love for expletives when I'm angry. (It's not cute... but it gets the job done.)

I think, and can prove if I have to, that American kids are the most over medicated, over analyzed, bunch of kids ever in history.  Few kids can develop serious problems at such an early age except through transference.  Mostly its parents who don't want to parent kids, but want a perfect little adult child thing that they can show off like some sort of accessory. 

It's like that 'send it to her facebook' deal.  Why not just sit down and watch it with her?  How hard would that be?  Talk about it together, would that not be much more effective for you to be able to share with her - and in that, she might be able to open up and share with you a bit more too.  Perhaps.

I can just see it:

"Honey, would you come to my office for a minute?"
"<sigh> Why mom?  "
"Well, honey, I was just watching some clips from drag shows posted on YouTube, and I think that you'll find that this lady, Ms. Ivana K'nish, has a very important message about mother-daughter relationships to share with us."

Come on, Tekla, the problem with parents and children has always been the same: Nobody's handing out parenting licenses. All you have to do to make babies is have a little libido and lack of responsibility. And you can't really believe that children haven't always been accessories, can you? Every generation of parents and children has been an utter disaster. Yet somehow we muddle by. But maybe you're partly right -- I mean, kids these days and their social networking sites / video games / rock and roll music / flapper clothes / impressionist art / high German romanticism / polyphony. I tell you, they just have no respect for Gregorian chant -- no respect at all. Damn kids and their Palestrina.

But it could be worse -- they could be Baby Boomers.

I wasn't really going to send it to her.....I could just see her swearing over that one 

Her-> What the *blank* is this, she's always doing this *blank*. Is this some kind of *blanking*
messege cuz if so, I don't *blanking* get it!....Add in the head movement that I can't even
begin to imitate 

[kytheragraves]

1. Watching football. Though I'm told I squeal and jump up and down when my team scores and men apparently do no such thing.

2. Video games. (mostly role-playing games)

3. Love of women.

[cindybc]

Hi Kytheragraves, What type of role playing games do you do if I may ask? I don't do video games, but I do love doing imagination games like in stories or pictures.

Hiya!

My favorite role playing games are the Final Fantasy series, but I also played World of Warcraft for six serious months when it was first released.

Imagination games in stories and pictures are fun too. I call those "writing". I do a lot of that too!

[cindybc]

I know of Final Fantasy. Yes word pictures like actually writing a story with such detail that the reader can see what he/she is reading. I love writing but unfortunately not all have the imagination to follow my stories. It's like they forgot where they parked their imagination after they left their 10 year old imaginations in Puff the magic Dragon's parking lot in Hanalee.

I never forgot my child like fantasy and imagination, it's still alive and well and is really handy to have especially when there are children around. Good for firing up their little imaginations too.

My team is the 49ers, so that means we are like spiders in a jar or something! I can't believe your Hawks beat us twice this year even as the season circled the drain.

We aren't alone with this though.   My partner is a natal female and she likes the Giants and Steelers. Her mother loves the Giants too and pines for Tiki Barber to this day. Her mother's best friend is obsessed with Eli Manning. And at work my boss wears her Jets jersey on random Fridays.

[mtfbuckeye]

I hate to point this out, but your Niners beat us 33-30 in OT at Qwest last year... grrr

Your S.O. is breaking a cardinal rule, though.. One cannot serve two NFL masters I'll admit I used to like a lot about the Niners before we were division rivals... Jerry Rice is my all-time favorite Non-Seahawks player.

You should check out my blog sometime... or just drop me a line

[Janet_Girl]

Off topic, sort of.

I have two favorite teams.  The Hawks of course.  And any team playing the Bears.  Sorry Step Son....NOT 

[Shana A]

Y'all are the only people online that know my blog is run by a transperson.. ha ha

Us all, and possibly also anyone doing a google search for your site! Sorry to be paranoid dear, but...

Man, I'm pretty frakking stupid, huh?

Man, I'm pretty frakking stupid, huh?

Not stupid at all hun! I just tend to be cautious about this sort of thing and figured I'd point it out. You can easily delete the link from your post. I should talk, I've had my picture up here, and probably said all kinds of things that could be a hassle depending on who read them  Really, it's too bad that we should even have to worry about it. Someday, in a perfect world...

hugs!

Extreme laziness I guess for one and a tendency to get wound up when people are aggressive.

Neither are really gender specific but I tend to see them that way.

[Virginia87106]

1.  occasionally pee standing up (at home)
2.  love to watch MLB
3.  ?

[Terra]

1. Desire to protect those I care about physically. (I.e. Fighting instinct)

2. Video games

3. My desire to compete, even if on a stupid dare or bet. Such as my one experience at free running.

[Miniar]

you know, I read this whole thread thinking I'd reply with the "typical female things I will keep" but I just keep drawing a blank. I could list the protection instinct as the "motherly" protection instinct is every bit as strong as the masculine-attibuted guard-instinct some of the mtf's are talking about.. but since both sexes/genders stereotypically are "protective", I don't feel like I can really list that.
So on, So forth, through all kinds of little things I could refer to.. none struck me as more feminine than masculine.
I was going to say "shoes", but not even that seems like a femme thing...
