We were talking about masculinity outside and I asked you if you knew what masculinity was.

And I said no, I didn't know what it was.

Okay.

Do you want to know what it is?

Mm-hmm.

So masculinity and femininity are two stories that people get told.

And have you ever heard the story like blue is a boy color and pink is a girl color?

Mm-hmm.

And when you think about that.

I think that it's wrong because colors, people don't own colors.

Yeah.

Everyone can like different colors even if a boy likes pink color and it goes like blue.

Yeah.

And then there are some other ones like boys don't cry or girls can't be strong.

There's another one that only boys can do soccer and stuff.

Oh.

And what do you think about that?

I don't think it's good because it doesn't matter what your gender is.

It matters if you like it or not.

So masculinity is really just a big word for a story that boys are often told that they

have to act out in their lives.

It's like being given a script for a play and being told you have to act out this script
