On my way to school today I had a funny thought:
What if the rolls of a boy and girl were reversed?
What if girls were the ones who performed grand, romantic acts?
And what if boys were the ones who spent hours in front of a mirror everyday?
Now after thinking this I had the image of every boy in the world laughing and shaking their heads at me, but as a feminist it is something to consider.
Why is it girls can't go to extreme measure, like throwing pebbles at a window, without seeming like a stalker?
Why was it when Carrie Bradshaw showed up at Aden's doorstep it was strange? But when he shows up to hers they run up stairs and have sex?
I think this is because women would do it so much better than men.
That or when men try to perform these acts, we don't reward them enough.
Now I'm not saying you should pat them on the head and hand them a bone. I'm saying a "Thank you" wouldn't hurt!
Maybe most men just don't do these types of things and they hate Hollywood and Disney for leading us to these expectations about them!
However I personally think we, as women, could probably make the first move, and plan a special date for the boy or get him a nice gift.
Then the ball is in his hands and he has to get us something really nice.
