Gender Non-Conformity is a Drag » Sociological Images


You want to fucking start your gender policing with a three year old? or rather, criticising parents for not gender policing their kid? she wants to be john, from peter pan. she is three. eat shit. It is to the child's wishes, and it would be better to you that the jolie-pitts force the child into a restricted gender role?

TO HELL WITH GENDERING CHILDREN AT ALL. I mean, really, let a kid be whoever the fuck they are, or you are a giant asshole.

It's frustrating, it's useless, and it's stupid how people place stock in gender roles these days. I got all sorts of BS, especially in the deep south, when I gave my four year old son a baby doll for Xmas. It's what he asked Santa for! Of course, I also got grief for raising him non-theist, among other things. And come to think of it, pretty much all of who I am as a human is hated by other humans somewhere on the planet. *Sigh*

Anyway, I have a completely unrelated question to ask you. I really want to see Rent, and am wondering if it's best to watch the movie or the film of the Broadway show first. I know that you're a huge fan, so I figured you'd have an opinion on this. Thanks!

I am way more familiar with the movie than the broadway film, which I have seen once, and loved like a motherfuck. Umm. hardcore rentheads say the play is better, and the movie wrecked it etc. The broadway is all song, no spoken parts, has a couple songs the movie doesn't.

I dunno. i saw the movie first, like 80 times, and loved it, and also loved the play. Maybe see the movie first, so you aren't compaing it to the bway version? see the,m both eventually though. The movie is slightly more straightforward, I guess.

Thanks! I've watched some clips from the movie and it looks great! I was just wondering if it would be blasphemous to watch it before the play, you know?

I can't wait until they make a movie of Wicked! Or at least a DVD of the show.
