To lilyyy and Alexia I say be yourself. At least a little. Especially at school. I mean they most likely won't pick up on it right away and if people in your lives do. Just deny it and say ," I don't know what your talking about?" Until your ready to go public

Thanks Tristan, I think that would be a great idea.

The experience I had today though goes towards showing that men have a definite advantage over women in interviews and while looking for jobs.
Although I rather go more into in on my blog.

It's just seems waay easier for a guy to just walk in and get a job whereas women have to sometimes struggle with other women feeling threatened by them and at the same time we also have to worry about not meeting the feminine standards that other women as well as men might have.

So I guess that would be something towards expectations of a man.

Thinking about expectations of a man does anyone recall if they've come across any man wearing makeup and showing that he's wearing it?

Apart of metrosexuals?

Seconding that question

The other thing is partially a cultural one, but in Seoul I saw quite a few men rocking visible makeup (mainly eyeliner, but stuff like BB creams are common, if not really visible).

Oh, and of course people from the goth scene.

Yeah... definitely something that drove me absolutely crazy back in the day. Pretty much word for word. Hated having to lift stuff, hated those stupid heteronormative male expectations about being a casanova, HATED people saying things like "suck it up" and "be a man," and I just wanted to scream "I'm not a man, damn it!!! I don't want to be one!"

Good for you!! I've always been the same way. So many times I heard those type words & I also said I have no interest in that stuff at all, went & painted my nails a nice pink as soon as possible.   FYI you look great.

Well, me, pretty much every day from 1977-83! But I could just pretend that it was fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion!
