That makes perfect sense. And if you're talking about women not being able to determine what a "real man" is, than I'd say the same for men about themselves. Just like women can't determine what a "real women" is. The idea of a "real" man or woman is ridiculous, as if liking certain things makes you less of a man or fake! There isn't a set list of qualities which make you a man or woman, is there?! So if that's what she meant then I completely agree with you.
I guess it's easy to fall into the trap of judging a person's masculinity or femininity when the person does something you don't like. That's what I was talking about with what society dictates, there seems to be a list of what men "should" do, and the same with women, and it's beyond stupid. Yes, women and men are different, but it isn't nearly as clear cut as people make it seem.
GUYS: Normal/Weird--I'm a girl and I want to learn these things..
