The Norms

Pink/Blue:
Pink is known to be a girly color, pink Barbie dolls, pink balloons, pink dresses whereas blue is a boyish color. How does a mother make out if she has given birth to a baby girl or a baby boy?
Let me tell you! No not by looking at the genitals. Are you kidding me? That’s too gross. She actually gets to know when her husband brings out the blue/pink balloons! #NORM
It’s like instead of saying “we had a baby girl”, they say “PINK”!

Don’t cry:
“Oh sweetheart, don’t act like a girl, quit crying!”
Yeah boys, quit crying! Have you ever seen a guy crying? You are like a lion, and lions don’t cry, not even when their leg gets under a truck! Crying is meant for girls. #NORM
It’s like boys can’t have a heart of emotions, and can’t cry otherwise they would look weak and not a lion.

Say a word:
I say sexy, they say a cheater.
I say geek glasses, they say a nerd.
I say blonde, they say foolish.
I say rich, they say brat.

Will you marry me?:
No one is supposed to marry a girl who doesn’t know the technique to make round rotis.
And no one is supposed to marry a guy who isn’t an engineer or doctor.

Sorting Hat:
We all have seen Harry Potter, and not everyone may have seen all the parts but I presume that everyone surely must have seen the 1st part.
Remember Sorting Hat? The hat used to read the mind of the wizard and sort them into their houses according to their talent.
This is what our society does, except the fact that the sorting hat used to take the wizard’s choice into account. A robot with no IQ is our society.

A girl is supposed to learn ballad or classical, meant to eat salads, supposed to listen to only Katy Perry or Taylor Swift or teenage boy bands, surf websites only like pinterest or weheartit, believed to read novels and watch only romantic SRK or Disney Animated movies.
Whereas, boys are supposed to learn hip hop or street dance, meant to eat everything fried, supposed to listen to only rock bands, surf only porn sites, believed to not read any novel (it’s like novels are written to be only read by girls) and watch only sci-fi or action thriller movies.

These are some misconceptions deeply rooted in our society and they need to be changed. We all need to broaden our minds, and have freedom in our thoughts as well as actions.
“Don’t judge
Don’t control
Let them fly
Let them enjoy.”

It’s not about sorting, taking decisions for them, it’s about letting them experience and imagine to the greatest extent.

Boys cry
Girls masturbate
Boys can like pink and not be gay
Girls can have short hair and not be a lesbian
Boys can like ballet
Girls can like video games
Boys can be hot without a six pack
Girls can be hot without s hairless body
Boys can have hair down to their waists
Girls can have stretch marks, curves and back fat

Gender doesn't determine what you can and cannot enjoy, when you can and cannot look like or what you can and cannot do.
