Do you wonder why there are so many "What she/he says, what she/he means" or "Girl/Boy Talk" stuff going around?
I would never admit that I am a political activist, it just isn't part of my image to be that serious thinker. But if there's one thing I absolutely confess I am, is that I'm a feminist. Though not as die hard as those Gabriela gals (though I totally support their advocacies) or one of my bestest friends Diane (and she's even considering becoming a lawyer to defend women's rights, just the thought of it diale, makes me so proud of you. What noble thing. See? We're not really as bad and screwed up as they think), but I am.
The thing is, I believe in freedom of both sexes, yet I'm all for chivalry. I has to be alive again.
So now, I am just so undecided with these "Girl/Boy talk" going around. Are they being sexist, stereotyping men and women? Is it fair to think that all women think alike, and that they really don't mean what they say? Or is it just a lame excuse for men not to take a woman's word seriously? Okay, I'm being too much of a deep gal ha. Or, are these stuff harmless, and those who wrote them, are they just trying to be clever?
You decide...
WHAT SHE SAYS VS. WHAT SHE MEANSsays: Di ako galit...means: Asar ka!s: Wait, five minutes na lang...m: i'll be ready in an hours: i have a suggestion..m: this is what we should do.s: Ang pangit ko ngayon...m: tell me I'm beautiful.WHAT HE SAYS VS. WHAT HE MEANSs: Do you wanna eat?m: I'm hungrys: Gusto mo talaga panoorin yan?m: Ang corny...s: What's wrong?m: Nag-iinarte ka na naman dyan...s: Ikaw ang pinakamagandang babae sa mundo...m: hay... eto na naman tayo...Sigh! wouldn't it be easier if people just say what they really want, and mean it?
It's hard to be such a leftist... But hey, Miss Manauat, you better be smiling right now. You made such a point in our Genders Class. Although, my thoughts aren't making sense sometimes, at least I'm thinking! and not just going with the flow, with the norms... haha... I miss college, and I still want to learn so much more...
another adventure for COSMOGIRL!
