This issue of Gender and sex has always been a hot topic in society. I really think society makes gender stereotypes. A baby is born and is shaped by its environment, it would not identify with either gender if it didn't grow up in our kind of environment. I feel like life would be easier if we didn't have these gender lines to abide by. It kind of ties in with article by Jennifer Reid Maxcy Myhre. Her whole article talks about her rejection of feminism because she doesn't like all the things that come with it like, shaving, hair styling, etc. She also talks about the prejudice associated with her doing this. People look at her funny and say rude comments, which sucks because no one deserves that. But she says that her first step toward feminism was through rejecting femininity. That shouldn’t be what feminism is about, it’s not about how you look. It’s about getting rights and things of that nature.
