Hey. Since im in a hurry, very tense and very much not concentrating on the proper things at the moment, I decided to come blog. Just a thought, while I was reading up about the female subjectivity and the changing of male identity as a result : You've all heard of the metrosexual, now make way for the worse version : the Mirl. Male Girl. He primps and preens like you wouldnt believe. Has dozens of fake tan lotions, eye creams, night creams, goes for pedicures, facials, you name it.
Now personally, I hate it. Blokes are blokes and women are women. I don't think im being closed minded when i say that the day my boyfriend tells me “We should totally get manicures together.” I will kill him. Whether its out of fear or rage, is yet to be debated.
I have to say i don't have a problem with massages and guys using moisturizer and face wash because, to be fair, its skincare. If you look after your skin its not primping.
How far would you go? As a male, would you indulge in traditionally girly things?
And here's another thought that popped up very unceremoniously while I was trying to concentrate. What if you had the opposite gender's body for 3 days? Being a curious and at the same time frank girl when it comes to odd conversation topics, here's my list: (a bit of it may seem un-ladylike but bear with me)
First order of business, I would grow stubble. Lovely, hard stubble. Then feel my face every so often to appreciate the wonderful texture.
Secondly I would walk around topless. Sure I can do that now, but its not socially acceptable. It doesnt matter how many men say otherwise :P
I would drink litres of water so that I can stand as far away from the loo as possible while I try and get the hang of aiming and handling with the formidable man hose.
After that I'd try and test out the functions. And I do mean all of them.
This is purely so that when I turn into a woman again, I know what feels like what and how much it (really) hurts when you receive a botch to the crotch. Because sometimes you gotta wonder whether theyre looking for sympathy and whether it really hurts that much.Fun stuff.
