If I was Free from Gender Stereotypes…

by admin

“I’d consider going into engineering. Both my brothers are engineering students but they only have 1 or 2 girls in their class.”

“I’d voice my thoughts and participate in discussion.”

“I’d be able to fix things and be more capable to make simple repairs.”

“I would be open about my interest in hunting, fighting, and other ‘manly things.’”

“If I was freer from gender stereotypes, I would not be afraid of intimidating other women, or being perceived as a threat.”

“I’d be more athletic, dress down, and… play a lot more video games.”

“I’d run around and jump in to play a sport but it’s frowned upon because of my gender.”

“I’d probably be more confident… and have more freedom in my life.”
