Masculinity Overrated

I don't know what is up with people who prefer to be in a relationship or enjoy some sort of friction with masculinity. It seems that hetero girls and gay boys alike tend to make this a number one priority when it comes to finding an eligible bachelor. They'd prefer masculinity over intellegence, beauty, and anything else. I mean, I don't see why it is so essential or needed. I find it to be a turn off.
When it comes to straight women, most look for a "manly man." Whether he is stupid, dumb, rich, poor, smart, whatever. In gay culture, it is also evident. There is this top and bottom phenomenon that was adopted from the straight notion of how relationships should be. It's cool to be a top and not so cool to be a bottom. What would everyone do in a world full of tops? And why are they different?
In this specific local culture, tops are not even considered gay. Hello? If you are getting off on another guy it is still a homosexual act.
I believe that this love of masculinity is the reason for sexism and it's subsect: homophobia. I mean people are prejudiced against women because they think they are weaker, because feminity is associated with weakness. Gay men, who statistically get so much more hate crimes than lesbians, are the subject of sexism because, how dare they act/do things that are traditionally associeted with feminity.
Some gay men advertise themselves as "Straight-acting," what kind of bullshit is that? That shouldn't be a reason for pride. Masculinity is overrated and overappreciated.
A boy who is not afraid of being prissy is so much more commendable than a boy acting "straight."
This masculinity-is-suprior notion is passed to us through heterosexual bourgious ideals of what society should be. Because our history is erased and organized religion has oppressed us for eons. Guess what, these beliefs are all wrong and are designed to control people, especially the poor and the "non-desirable" minorities.
I want to give props to all the people who further blur the lines, from drag queens to female constructions workers to intersexed peeps. There is not exact differentiation between human kind in all genders and sexes, if you look at the subject globally. Even the organs are mixed up in some people (every 1 in 1000 is born with both organs), is that considered a dysfunction? Not really. Unless you want to impose your lifestyle on anyone. Maybe I want both if societal rules didn't force me to choose.

For further insight, watch these movies: Kinsey, Bad Education, Hedwig And The Angry Inch, Boys Don't Cry, The Laramie Project, But I'm A Cheerleader, Ma Vie En Rose, Paris Is Burning, Get Real, If These Walls Could Talk 2, Billy Elliot, Monster and much more just ask me.

Don't draw lines where there aren't any.

Happy Bday S.
