I think the emphasis in our society of polarized stereotypes about gender is really harmful, especially for people that don't match it... I've lost out on a lot because of how people assumed I'd act/feel/think based on my gender, been abused/assulted far too often for not being what they expected, and not identifying with the non-autistic nondisabled stereotype of my gender meant that until recently, I didn't feel like I was a 'real' female at all!Moggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05478100266654459194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-57219997846196939112007-03-04T19:25:00.000-05:002007-03-04T19:25:00.000-05:00Dear Dave- Oh jeez, I think I'm a man!Frances(but ...Dear Dave- Oh jeez, I think I'm a man!Frances(but you can call me Frank)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-46766710745254601022007-03-04T11:18:00.000-05:002007-03-04T11:18:00.000-05:00maybe this is picky, but i'm gonna post it just fo...maybe this is picky, but i'm gonna post it just for variety.<BR/><BR/>i didn't recognize those women at your work as the same kind of woman as me.<BR/>swimming in estrogen? what do 'odd' women have in us, then?<BR/>i once bought my husband a red shirt that is sort of an orangey burgundy, if you want to get specific.<BR/>i <I>do</I> like fashion magazines but i wear what i like and what's comfortable, not necessarily what's in style.<BR/>i wear skirts maybe 2x a year.<BR/>i like crafts magazines, too. even craft shows on tv.<BR/>i tell my students to use logic when thinking about grammar, but i enjoy not having to be logical all the time.<BR/>i thought when i married another autistic, he would not do "typical guy things" because neither of us are "typical" for our gender. but he does do some of them. (not that that's the end of the world, no more than certain "typical woman things" that i do). <BR/>he says it's not all becos he's a guy, though. some of it is because he's from another continent and that's how they do things there. like, back home, his mother also runs into a clothing store, grabs the first good thing she sees, buys it quickly without deliberating, and it lasts for years.<BR/><BR/>people stuff is almost always more various than it looks.n.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17677317372343868030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-89014740683802976642007-03-04T10:25:00.000-05:002007-03-04T10:25:00.000-05:00Burgundy IS red -- it's just a dark red.

It just depends upon how finely you slice it.<BR/><BR/>Burgundy is marginally different from red in contrast to a bright cherry red, or an orangish scarlet-red, or a pale pinkish-red, or a purplish magenta-red.<BR/><BR/>In some languages there are fewer gradations of color; orange is red, and/or pink is red and purple may even be red, which is why purple cabbages are called "red cabbages". Sometimes green and blue are called the same color.<BR/><BR/>We can slice other colors into further fine gradations. Somewhere between lavender (light purple) and sky blue is periwinkle; if you put periwinkle next to sky blue, then it looks purple, and vice-versa. <BR/><BR/>Somewhere between brown and grey is taupe, the color of moleskin (the sticking plasters that hikers put on their abused feet). Taupe is a color so blah it only seems to have presence if you stick it next to something even blah-er, like beige. (Beige in turn is pretty much white dirtied up with a smidge of brown mixed in.) <BR/><BR/>Personally, I also hate those same kinds of interpersonal competition that revolves around cutting people down. I dislike being around catty people who operate on an emotional level about (what seems to be) everything. <BR/><BR/>I don't follow fashion magazines, and I don't care about celebrities or even know who most of them are. Nor am I keen on burping contests or smutty jokes.<BR/><BR/>But hey, that's just me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-56591254693738131262007-03-04T10:14:00.000-05:002007-03-04T10:14:00.000-05:00Oh geez, Only a "man" would brag about being a...Oh geez,<BR/> Only a "man" would brag about being a man. :)<BR/><BR/>LisaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051482989794391914noreply@blogger.com
