In ’n out
In:
These types of lists are bound to happen, if you wanted it or not, but in my opinion, they’re not necessary. At the point society has reached, people do and should recognize that different people like different things, we don’t all fit in the same demographic. I’m going to give a few of my opinions Here.
First, the straightened hair, makeup, and other things mainly targeted towards females. Girls are constantly pressured by the mainstream media to module themselves according to what’s ”in” at the moment, but these are the things we can’t win at. You wear makeup? That makes you fake. You don’t wear makeup? You should, because your bare face is tired and unnatural. Do you see what I’m trying to get at here? I’m all for people doing what they want, but like I said, we cannot win. Straightened hair, that’s super cool, but not to the extent where if you’re a person of colour and don’t fit into the caucasian demographic and decide to wear natural hair, you get punished by your schoolboard. I’m not kidding, these cases happen.
The point I was tryig to make is, something is always in style, but you literally cannot please everyone. You shouldn’t try to; if you’re comfortable in your own skin and what you are doing to your body isn’t hurting anyone (incliuding yourself), following trends shouldn’t matter.
Then the ’ballet and horseriding for boys, and martial arts for girls are both out.’ That’s straight up sexism at it’s finest, and pettiest. The new actror of Spider Man, Tom Holland has done years of dancing, ballet, and gymnastics, and that’s what landed him the role of a superhero. Horseback riding is a sport thousands of years old that has been separated between genders just in the recent decades. The saddest example here, is that a big amount of girls who get into martial arts is because they’ve felt threatened by most probably boys and they want to defent themselves just in case. Even adults acknowledge the danger of simply being a girl and walking down the street past boys/men, and they even advise their kids to learn and defend themselves. I could go on and on about that, but it’s a different discussion altogether so I’ll just leave it here.
