reactions
I was thinking about the difference in how men and women react to different stimuli… mostly of the “gross” or “distasteful” type. there’s the common idea that women in general shy away, and men have no fear. while there is certainly truth to that generalization, whether it’s societal or a fact of gender isn’t part of this thought. what does interest me is more how the perception of that reaction related to the internal reaction. it may be the people I know, but while everyone is willing to tackle any problem, their way of accepting usually falls within the “girls think it’s icky and boys think it’s cool” when getting a task. the interesting twist is that each sex seems to enjoy the task equally afterwards. is it that girls put up a front after to seem tough? or guys put up a front at the start for the same reason? or maybe, hopefully, everyone appreciates a moment independently and personally, and we just have ways of handling experiences that help us feel comfortable.
