are just a few in many harsh comments that my female friends casually tell each other in their conversation daily over the years. I cannot comprehend such attitude towards a person, let alone the person who is close to you. Have you ever wonder why girls are so mean to each other? At a certain age they will develop an attitude towards other women called “indirect aggression”, which is an expression that women will show when they’re sizing each other up. The aggression certainly persists throughout

If you're a girl and really love playing football or a guy and you really love cooking, would it be fair or respectful if someone said to you “you’re a guy/girl you shouldn’t be doing that.” I believe that gender roles should not be in our society.
