Is it normal to be a woman who feels bad for not being manly enough?
I literally see other people (men or women) partaking in "manly" hobbies or manly responsibilities, or even just having the stereotypical self assuredness that men are supposed to have and suddenly feel so inadequate. I literally feel like a shrimpy timid boy who feels the need to man up. But like wtf I'm not even male. I know we shouldn't simplify reality with gender stereotypes but as a woman, no one ever expects me to be manly in the first place so where is this coming from?!
I start laughing about it when I remember that but before I realize how ridiculous it is, the worry is real.
