Gender and Family Life

This week we have learned about Gender and Family life. It is crazy to think how both sides of the family can play such a huge roll. I have always considered myself as a “daddy’s girl” and been told that I am supposed to be a boy. I am interested in cars and interested in toys. That’s considered not that big of an issue. But then when you relate that to a boy liking more feminine things like crafts or being interested in what he looks like he is considered gay. But with girls it isn’t that big of a deal. We have a society have twisted so many things around and so many are not how they are supposed to be anymore. When we read about people being born gay I honestly do not believe that is possible. There is a reason why they think so but there is no way. When you are born onto this earth you are perfect. When you start to grow up you start liking different things then other people and start growing in different ways. If you think you are attracted to a boy and you are a boy think of the reasons why? Why do you think you have this attraction? What happened in your life to attract you to the same sex? Life is a crazy thing. Society has changed are point of view on things day in and day out. Things are constantly changing and we just listen. We never really think for ourselves any more.

Gender in the family plays a huge roll. If you are a girl growing up in a home without your father you are more likely to seek attention from a different man that you think loves you and will treat you right. That’s not always the case. Your father is a big part of your life and you need him there in order to feel a different type of love. I have grown up with both my parents and three sisters. When I step back and look at my family and my life from a different view I notice patterns. For example my youngest and oldest sister are more attached to my mom, than my sister and I are more attached to our dad. The two that are attached to my mom have more friends that are girls and get along with them easier. My sister and I have more guy friends and get along with them a whole lot easier. But then when you come in contact from the opposite sex you treat them with the same respect you treat your other friends. For example I have this one girl friend and I treat her like I treat my guy friends. In order to be more versatile in life we need to pay attention to all things and realize all the different types of relationships we can have in our lives.
