Gender

[Veridical]

Gender, unlike sex, is a constructive aspect of our person. It is contiuum with multiple layers in multiple contexts. We negotiate our expression of gender with ourselves and with others.

It's interesting that you equate Dom with masculinity. Why is that so?

If I could I'd tell you. I'm sure I'm the bane of most feminists when I say that I feel a woman's place is by her Master's feet. -Looks up.- Hm. I've always assumed it came from the fact that I am heterosexual and submissive, however, I have bisexual tenancies that surface, so I'm sure the root cause of my feeling this way is something far more deep seated than mere preference. I suppose because I equate masculinity with power is one cause, another being I'm intimidated by most men, not in a bad way, but in a way that makes me squirm. Hm. Seems I have more to discover about myself than I originally knew. -Grins.-

As stated, I understand not all relationships fall under the category that I find ideal, being a woman submissive to a Dominant male, but if it's something outside that, it's generally not something for me personally.

This is pretty much where I stand also.

I like men to act like men and woman to act like women.

I think a big reason why people are not sure about their gender identities is because this day and age people are taught not to conform to a gender. Not to mention all the split marriages where either mother or father isn't present and the child may not be getting that male or female role model.

*I believe there are always exceptions of course, where something chemically really IS more male/female in one's mind or body.



No offense meant to anyone, this is just my opinion.
