I'm a girl and seriously sometimes I'm embarassed by some of the things girls are known for doing. Like I read magazines and they say things like "make him beg for it" or "what to say and how to say it to make him want you". Or when I listen to the way girls talk to guys..it's like they seriously have no respect for themselves. They seem totally fake. I don't mean to sound too old fashioned and naive but what happened to equality? Trying to make men see us as equals? What now we're trying to play mind games with them? It's ridiculous..It's like nothing about girls is natural anymore. Before women were known to play certain roles as housewives and come in second to a man then we decided to fight back. However, now it seems like all we're doing is reading a script and playing roles only this time to control the ones we wanted to see us as equals. There's nothing real about it. I have no idea what goes on in guys' minds so I can't say they're any different or anything but I can speak for the female side considering I am one. Lol. It's never gotten bad enough to where I want to switch genders or anything.. Haha but seriously there are times when I am trul ashamed to be a girl. Is this normal?

    Simple - you are yourself.

    you don't bear any responsibility for how others act
    or for how magazines tell you how to act

    you only have to worry about how you act

    and you may want to consider picking up better reading material

    This goes for any group in history that has fought for rights. Someone always has to ruin everything since they think they are better. This is just how it goes. Someone is always fighting for control.

    So its hard to be on top and want to share. Since you know anytime you give the underdog rights they will knock you over and take over the thrown in name of their group.

    Most people are not mature enough to respect each other but at least you know how to respect people and yourself. Be an example and do not let the morons of society dictate your actions. 90 percent of the humans do not deserve to live in society.

    I was watching The Inbetweeners today and yesterday, which is the lowest form of - sadly accurate - dirty and unsophisticated banter. I'm a 19 yr old guy, and it made me sad because everyone in my age-gender demographic is...mindless ass fungi.

    I understand what you mean because I've felt this way before but I do not care anymore. A gender is simply a gender, it doesn't choose who we are and how we act.Saying all boy do this or all girls do that is generalization and it's hurting more than anything else.Before being male or female I think we are humans.

    I would say it's normal to be disappointed by the behavior of many girls/women, but not to be ashamed of your gender. I'm usually disappointed in girls my age (twenty) because they do ridiculous stupid/superficial/manipulative/(insert adjective here), but I'm never ashamed of being female because there also are and have been so many incredible girls and women. I think damning our whole gender for the current social behavior of a select group is sad and unrealistic.

    I have to say I agree with you. I respect you for not lowering yourself & being a whore just to get attention from guys. I'm the same way, men should love women for what's inside more than what's outside. But not all females are like how you described. Same with males, a lot of them are perverted/sexist but not all.

    Sounds like they are trying to teach girls to be sluts or something?

    This post makes me want to hug you, as awkward as that sounds. I'm a guy but this post is truly amazing because I sort of think the same thing but can't say it on account of sounding like a prick who's trying to get into a girls pants. I've honestly observed the behaviors of girls at my school and am hoping that this behavior only happens in high school. In the real world I would think that more women have respect for themselves.

    Be proud of who you are, not who the media tells you to be
