You're A Girl!

[EVAN_DESU]

My dad just yelled at me a few minutes ago about how the house is a mess and I never clean up and how my bathroom is reallyyyy messy.

Then he yells out "YOU'RE A GIRL! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THIS!"

Whatever. That TOTALLY ruined my night.....I might even cry..It just upset me that much...I know...Lame......

Great coming home gift, dad.

Does your father know about your crossdressing? Either way, he seems to have some very unhealthy fixation with gender roles, as if women are meant to always be neat and tidy, and men are meant to be messy (whoever came up with that never met me or my sister).

Having been through over 13 shared households and the majority of housemates being girls about half have been messy and the other puritanical. Always wondered about that.

I just got back from Walmart.

While we were there he was like "Anything you need?"

and I said I needed underwear....boxers.

And he kept on telling me no, I need to wear girls underwear...

But I convinced him...All he did was complain about me the whole time. >___>

Atleast I got cool boxers now.

Ugh..before he used to be okay and fine with it and looked for boyish clothes for me..he even called me Evan...once..

Now it seems he's against it now.

Oh....BTW...I'm about 99.9% sure while shopping I saw either a cross dresser or MTF.....

I know it's bad that I could tell (not that I'm 100% sure, but pretty darn sure!)

My two best female friends in life are extremely messy. One of the two is a stereotypical girl in every other way. But when it comes to keeping her room clean...well, that's not happening. Clothes are EVERYWHERE. Trash and other knick-knacks strewn about here and there. Gender and sex seem to have nothing to do with whether or not you are a neat person. Traditionally women were forced into being neat. Thankfully this is becoming less of a reality.

I'm a bit of a neat freak but I can be very messy from time to time.

[Guest i is Sam :-)]

I like a nice clean and tidy house, but I don't like cleaning it. so 99% of the time it's a tip.

[Guest Kitsunenene]

Ugh that just sounds mean. Perhaps he's just come to the realization it's not a phase and this is one of the things that makes you you? No excuses for his comment, but perhaps viewing it from another perspective will help you in some way?

haha no girl I've ever known has been neat and tidy. Me either for that fact. I only clean when absolutely necessary.

People are play-dough not dolls

Evan,

Don't get all freaked out about what your Dad said during a rant about the house not being clean. Everyone has something that makes them crazy. Think of it like this if you want to make your dad happy clean the bathroom, if you don't want him to be happy don't clean the bathroom.

I like to clean sometimes I get carried away and that gets me into trouble. I get sidetracked when things are a mess and I feel compelled to fix things up a bit atleast. I love to vacuum in heels. That makes it more fun for me. An I-Pod can be helpful also.

Peace & Love Amanda

I survived in a cabin with 23 girls this summer. I was the only guy in there, and the only one who used even a modicum of organization. There were places in that cabin that just had PILES of clothing. Gender is not related to cleanliness.

Tell your dad to get back to the kitchen and see how he likes being opposite-gender-stereotyped.
