Even if I'm alone, I am stronger than a male.

We have been discussing the differences between women and men. This only made me realize how seperate society makes us, as if women are so much lower than men. In a way, I know many women that would allow a man to control her life and teach her how to live.

I'm not sure if it's only the way I grew up but my mother has taught me what it truly means to be independent. She has taught me that if I couldn't stand on my own two feet, someone else would have to control my life. I always knew that I had to be in control of my own life and this is how I realized there will never be a man that controls me. I refuse to ever believe a man is stronger than me, personally. I can't say the same for every woman because there are many women that do believe that they should be witty and weaker.

I don't find that attractive in a womans personality. When I think of a beautiful woman i think she would be strong, independent and self suffiecent. It never pleased me when women relied on their husbands financially. I feel as though women allow this stereotype to come around and they will do nothing about it except help prove it right. There is what bothers me, I refuse to ever let something like this get through to me. I spend a lot of my life proving to everyone that I am stronger than many males that I know.

It annoys me beyond belief how society makes women appear as the cooks, cleaners, and pleasureres. I plan on living a successful life in which I am the boss and I refuse to let any get in the way of my success and my road path. With or without a man I believe a woman should have stability. This stereotype is just a stereotype and I refuse to believe anyone is stronger than me because they are of a different gender.

Love is blind

Watching Boys Dont Cry made me realize that love really is blind. When I meet new people, it doesn't take to effect on me what color, nationality or religion they are. I feel if i do judge them on that not only does it make me look superficial but it's like not giving someone a fair shot.

Brandon Teena fell in love with Lana not because of how she looked but what he say in her. He knew what she was and how beautiful she was inside and out. That is the person he fell in love with. On the other hand love is blind also referred to Lana. Lana loved Brandon even after being betrayed with his gender. She loved him for who he was not what he had or didn't have. She loved everything about him, his style, his love, his affection and that's the person she fell in love with.

At that time, it was rare to love someone that was transgendered. You could notice just by the way they treated Brandon once they found out. They treated him like he was worthless, as if his personality changed or something. He was the same person, the same person that Lana fell in love with.

I realized this because I feel as though everyone is colorless. We have no color and that allows me to touch to someone's heart and not be stopped by their appearence. To me, it doesn't matter and I will never be racist in my life. I just hate how people look down on couples that do not have the same skin tone. It bothers me so much.

If someone is in love, they fell in love with them for who they were. Love is love and the feelings someone brings to you is important. The skin color on their bodies, isn't.

Boys Don't Cry - the movie.

This is the movie i chose to watch which was written by both Kimberly Peirce & Andy Bienen. It was directed and filmed in Canada in 1999. The movie won an oscar, 42 wins & 27 nominations. It was top rated by many critics and is looked upon very highly. It wasn't a story with a happy ending but it did shorten my breath after watching it. This movie was amazing & it made me think and constantly shake my head at the television.

Brandon Teena was the popular transfer student in Nebraska. He had it all, the good looks, the confidence & the overall apparence. All the girls liked him and all the guys wanted to be friends with him. He was the ideal boy for all the girls and an idol to all the boys, pretty much. He didn't really look for any girls once he found this beauty named Lana. She was gorgeous and together they made the ideal couple. Everything seemed to be going well for them and they were as happy as could be.

A secret got out about Brandon that he wished never did. Brandon wasn't always a guy, he was born a woman. He had woman parts and spoke like a woman until he got older. He was born as Teena Brandon, that was her name. Once he got older he realized he didn't want to be a woman anymore. He didn't feel like a woman, he felt like a man inside a girl's body. The whole school got around and no longer was he this hot new guy. He was the new guy that they all tormented.

They couldn't remember the boy he was before they found out his secret. They rediculed him and tormented him because he wasn't comfortable in his own skin. This is the last thing he needed to happen because he was accepting himself as a guy and now he can't. Everyone knows his secret and they make him feel like garbage, which is wasn't. He was the same guy before and after the secret was let out.

This movie hurt my heart to be compeltely honest. I never find it justified to humiliate anyone and he didn't deserve it at all. He did nothing wrong to anymore and he was a sweet, gentle man that should have been left alone. I felt so terrible for him and it just taught me so many lessons about life and humanity.
