Search Results: girls taller than boy

I don't understand why people need to assert their self-worth and their "congruence with their gender and self-identity" via 'acting more womanly' and/or 'being more manly'.

Technically, if you were born with XX chromosomes with proper genes and stuff, you're female. If you were born with XY chromosomes with proper genes and stuff, you're male.

No matter what you do, you're still the sex that you were born with.

So why care about how your behavior is perceived by some archaic cultural imperatives, when you can be who you want to be? Why assert your self-worth through broken concepts, why resort to the division of social genders, and why enforce behavior patterns on children to "brainwash them" into being "proper Men/Women"?

This whole idea is silly to me. The reason why I ask this question is based on the notion that "a guy must be taller than a girl, so that the girl feels properly feminine". Why? What does even feeling "feminine" mean? Congruence with social standards? Why can't you be who you are? Why can't you just thrive to be the best person you can be, no matter how "masculine" or "feminine" that is perceived?

I think this notion makes us be held down and bogged down in a series of traditions, rather than properly progress as people.

"Gender roles are the way people act, what they do and say, to express being a girl or a boy, a woman or a man. These characteristics are shaped by society."

"Feminine traits are ways of behaving that our culture usually associates with being a girl or woman."

"What Are Gender Stereotypes?
A stereotype is a widely accepted judgment or bias regarding a person or group — even though it is overly simplified.[...] This is called sexism."

People should be who they are. Act like they naturally would. Be the best they can. Not be bogged down by silly concepts , broken ones.
