Why does society treat us as a unisex?
102613
Western culture treats us as equal because of the ERA, womens rights movements, and feminist groups that demand equality.  Unfortunately, there seems to be an either/or side-effect.  We are either unisex beings with no differences, or we become stereotypes of man/woman.  There is no middle ground yet because the politically correct crowd is afraid of stepping on toes.

Some girls are SLUG's-- Selectively Lesbian Until Graduation. That way, they don't have to have a relationship that they know could get them pregnant and they can give up easy after graduating. \n\nAlso, if anybody bothers them they can scream discrimination and threaten a lawsuit. There are some very high power legal organizations out there that will rush to crush anybody that someone who claims to be gay says has offended them. There's a lot of political power in it. It's a 'good thing' to be gay in America these days. They get all kinds of preferential treatment, especially on college campuses.\n\nNow that people know they can use 'reverse discrimination', to get whatever they want, they are grabbing for it. Not because they really feel that way, but for the power.

It's because when you were a very little girl and your parents played "This Piggy Went To The Market", they kept pulling too hard on your 2nd toe. Seriously, it's not gender linked. It's genetically linked with your ancestors.

Some people like both sexes and that is okay.  Eventually, you will know what makes  you happy.  You do not have to fall into one stereotype or other.

That's one possible "benefit" of being GLBT. We aren't (most) immadiately identifyable. Some times you can bounce between the two world and most of the time it isn't anyone's business. Sometimes you benefit from not being identified. Its not fair but most people do it (straight or gay) to some extent. Acting like you know more about cars so you don't get gouged by a mechanic for example. I don't get offended. But its not a compliment to be called something you are not.

Women want to be treated with respect. We want to be considered for promotions etc not because of our gender but because of our qualifications. And we DONT want to be passed over for jobs just because we MAY at some point want to have a child...Well I dont know about every woman, but that's what I want.

for the same reason that guys discriminate against fat females.

Because our society is co-ed. The purpose of public education is not simply to teach children knowledge, but rather to prepare children to become productive members of society. By including both sexes in schooling children learn how to build relationships with both sexes.

You have to earn respect . . . it is not freely given.\n\nMen had respect for women in the past . . . but that has been thrown out the windows once you won the right to be treated like men.   Now you have to earn your respect like we do every single day.

Society influences the way that all young women feel about themselves.  Whether we are minorities or not, we are all women, and we are all looking at the girls on the tv wondering if our boyfriends would prefer that we look differently.  I'm pretty happy with the way I look and I do it too!

First and don't take this in the wrong way, but you have a lot of pent up anger that you really need to speak to someone about.\n\nNow for my comment, in many countries outside of the U.S. women are treated like dirt, especially in many mid eastern countries.\n\nWhat is not fair in the US, is women can open wear male clothing (which they do) and no one bats an eye.  But a man in a skirt or dress?  Society dictates that is not 'normal' behavior and the man then needs to see someone.\n\nFYI, in your line five above, I went to a job interview once and they told me that they were looking for a woman to fill the job.  I wonder how they would have reacted if I showed up later on all dressed up.\n\nSociety still has a long ways to go towards acceptance of all who fit within the transgender umbrella. Discrimination is around us and strikes at all of us from different angles.  Only through education can this obstacle be eliminated.

Transsexuals are the other gender, I think. Because they're men or women who want to be the other sex.

men aren't as open with their feelings because we weren't created that way. in the 40's men weren't wearring diamond rings in their ears and pink shirts. some would sat because of the world has become more feminine and some would say people are freely expressing themselves. gay and bi people run the countries states so you do the math on that. when it comes to men expressing themselves it's alot of pressure from other men calling them weak and soft not to mention a bit*h azz *igga. most importantly men are afraid of being hurt more than women are but a humble mature true woman can help a man grow with her and into her which will aloow him to freely express himself without the fear of being hurt or taken for granted.

We live in a society that apparently feels all races and classes should be clearly defined, and although it recognizes the differences in people regarding religion, race, gender and sexuality, most of society feel that gays, lesbians and bisexuals are a people who practice a "deviant" lifestyle. This is also true in their regard to other lifestyle practices as well, such as BDSM, fetishism, swinging or swapping (sexual) or for instance,  religions which are not North American based, such as Buddism , Toaism and the like. Society as a whole identifies individuals by grouping them into certain categories....their mistake, or should I say oversight is that  although we may desire same sex physical relations, we don't all desire the same type of emotional relationship, or even that we may just be able to accept and love differently than they may.\nTransgender, I feel, is an exception...\nIt is emotionally a different challenge than the rest of us feel. It is psychologically and physically a completely different matter. Mother nature has a way of playing tricks on some of us. Personally, I would go mad feeling like I had been born into the wrong body! If your body says your a man, and your mind tells you that you're a woman with the desires of a woman, does that then make you gay to your body, but straight to your mind? Look, some of us are born with 6 fingers on one hand, so, we don't use it, don't need it and have it removed and replaced with an eyeball, because thats what our mind is telling us should be there...Alright, that makes me different, but it doesn't make me an alien either! Mother nature screws up sometimes, and lots of people suffer for a lifetiime because of it...should we then treat them with any less respect than ourselves? I think NOT! Personally, I sympathize for those suffering that. Be as it may, society has wrongly placed us all into a big file cabinet. The majority can be placed in a drawer named "normal" and then placed in little files from a 2 z depending on religion, race, gender....now as for us "deviants"......we are in a completely different file cabinet on the other side of the room in drawers broken down into  "pervert",   "freak", "faggot", "dike",   "tranny", "CD", \n"sadomasichist", "pedophile" and the like.\nWe are, by societies standards, mentally ill.\nHow little they know!\nIt is simple to us who live everyday with our unique desires...\n"To each, his own".\n *OR* \nDo we REALLY desire something opposite from the rest of them? I think  not! How many of us denied our thoughts and desires for how long? Why? Society. We didn't want to be judged or be labeled abnormal by the other people in the "normal "file cabinet and be tossed out! So, how many of us so called "deviants" are there still hiding in there?\nHA! Way more than we'll ever know!\nNow, as for putting all of us "abnormal" people into ONE GROUP...\nI think they just got lazy and decided to stuff us all in there , lock it up and come back later to douse us with fuel and strike a match!\nHere is how It should  break it down:\nA- MALE\n1) Gay :  men only want men\n2)Bisexual :   men who "generally" seek love relations with women, but who are capable of loving men. And who are sexually attracted to both nearly equally. MAY take a given opportunity to have sex with both at the same time, BUT generally are so adversly affected by the stigma associated with attraction to other men, that they would hide it.\nB- FEMALE:\n1) Lesbian :   women only want women\n2)Bisexual Women:   women who "generally" seek love relations with men, but are capable of loving other women. AND who are sexually attracted to both nearly equally. And would quite often take any oportunity to have sex with both at the same time. ( hey,  maybe we are the biggest freaks of us all!.

Because traditionally it is a career that has been chosen by women and guy men. Straight men don't want to be thought of as weak because of these stereotypes. Maybe things will change with the current shortages and increased salaries.

Actually that has changed and if it has not changed for you then that is because you are being manipulated by a double standard invented by men who were ignorant,and women who were frigid and unwilling to enjoy s*x.\n\nLeave the outdated double standards where they belong...in the past.\n\nUs women can do what we wish s*xually just as the guys can. :)
