TAKE TIME TO READ, VERY IMPORTANT.

This is just my opinion. We may or may not have different opinions, but I wish you can acknowledge my point.

To be honest, at this point, I think you can all see how I love that line, and how I DON'T CARE ABOUT GENDER ROLES AT ALL.

Women can do what men can, and men can do what women can.

It's quite unfair sometimes, to be honest. In any public transport, men should always offer a seat to women, pregnant women, PWDs, and the elderly.

I understand the last three, but the first one? No.

If someone doesn't offer you a seat and you're a woman (not pregnant, doesn't have a disability, and isn't a senior citizen), let them. We never know if those men are hella exhausted from work or tired or something.

Once, in the bus, a man offered me a seat because I needed to stand up since it was crowded.

I declined.

Men, don't feel obliged. We women can do what you can, too. I even offered a man a seat, tbh. He felt embarrassed and I asked why. He told me that he's a man, and that I shouldn't be offering men seats.

He was carrying three bags that time, so I thought that he needed to sit down. Because he didn't accept my offer, I decided to stand up with him. Good thing after about half an hour, he finally sat down. Made me feel content.

The man doesn't need to pay for everything. Sure, it's polite. But if he doesn't, don't throw a shade on him.

My boyfriend and I go on casual dates before COVID-19, eating street food or dine in a small eatery. At first, he always scolds me because I either split the bill in half or pay for the whole thing. Now, he understands me. Ever since, we started to pay for our meals alternatively or split the bill in half.

Plus, women are allowed to dress up in boyish clothes but men can't dress up in feminine clothes? Excuse me?

This is not actually the end of this, I will come back with more of my opinions regarding gender roles. Please, we should be equal here. I know I am pointing out a lot about men, but that's because I think women have spoken more of our rights already, and men haven't really voiced out theirs completely.

Who do you think has experienced more sexual harassment? Men or women?

^ I will get back to that soon.
