The thing is that feminine and masculine are arbitrary and meaningless terms. They are used to separate people, and to make them feel less than others for no good reason. The reason I say arbitrary is that what is considered masculine or feminine changes like the four bloody winds. a while back, only men wore pants. They were masculine. Now women wear them too.

Kilts are man skirts. Shoulder bags are man purses. etc.

When I was a kid I played mostly with stuffed animals, I wanted an Easy Bake Oven more than anything else in the world, and I pretty much only played with girls. I acted very "feminine." I cried when I was sad or hurt, and didn't feel bad about it. As a matter of fact the only "masculine" things about me, are the fact that I'm heterosexual, and know a ton of martial arts.

I do not like sports. I always ask for directions and help studying. etc.

I used to get called "girly boy" and other annoying unimaginative names. I was even once accused of being gay, and got beaten up several times because of it.

Gender stereotypes are bs. That's just a fact.
