Usually if you tell a guy to act like a girl, he begins playing by the homosexual stereotype (faking a lisp, popping the hip, etc.) and while it accentuates femininity, it’s really uncomfortable and forced, making it just seem like he’s playing a stereotype instead of the actual gender. And girls will do this too; being told to play a male and instead just deepening the voice and say “dude” and “bro” a lot (although these are more common among modern practices).</p> <p>The males played up femininity without coming off as a forced stereotype and the females played up masculinity and machismo without forcing their performance.</p> <p>also the video is funny and I kind of forgot the point I was making.</p> </blockquote> <p>DONT BE A LITTLE PENIS</p> </blockquote> <p>That was great</p> </blockquote>http://fightforhappy.tumblr.com/post/53207950997http://fightforhappy.tumblr.com/post/53207950997Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:48:17 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0a269f40338bb3bc13788551ecdf9ed4/tumblr_mij4bgQRMm1rve2eyo1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/9f59dc6e044f3a4345ab2700a3596baa/tumblr_mij4bgQRMm1rve2eyo2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/25d30b2cc37329f14db731bc71115e21/tumblr_mij4bgQRMm1rve2eyo3_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/13f560ca9dc278287718ba75e1e371b1/tumblr_mij4bgQRMm1rve2eyo4_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/10efdabd993a2a065e6fd57f62f7b58b/tumblr_mij4bgQRMm1rve2eyo5_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/262b698046228b83bd604da237b2c4d3/tumblr_mij4bgQRMm1rve2eyo6_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://elijahfeathers.tumblr.com/post/44076079487/gourmandghast-mirisha">elijahfeathers</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://gourmandghast.tumblr.com/post/44075192472/mirisha-constructofconcience-i-actually">gourmandghast</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://mirisha.tumblr.com/post/44044348257/constructofconcience-i-actually-sort-of-needed">mirisha</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://constructofconcience.tumblr.com/post/43585036779/i-actually-sort-of-needed-this">constructofconcience</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>I actually sort of needed this</p> </blockquote> <p>Even slow progress is progress.</p> </blockquote> <p>Truth.</p> </blockquote> <p>Reminder to myself when I try new things</p> </blockquote>http://fightforhappy.tumblr.com/post/53207900862http://fightforhappy.tumblr.com/post/53207900862Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:47:31 -0700<blockquote> <p><em>i’m breathing in </em></p> <p><em>the chemicals<br/></em><br/><img alt="image" class="toggle_inline_image constrained_image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m49djpV4Xy1qk0tur.gif"/></p> </blockquote>http://fightforhappy.tumblr.com/post/53147764581http://fightforhappy.tumblr.com/post/53147764581Sun, 16 Jun 2013 15:55:52 -0700<p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://fandomacepilot.tumblr.com/post/52590013269/repeat-after-me-kids-a-relationship-does-not">fandomacepilot</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Repeat after me kids:</p> <p><strong>A relationship does not have to be romantic and/or sexual to be important. </strong></p> </blockquote>http://fightforhappy.tumblr.com/post/53147757258http://fightforhappy.tumblr.com/post/53147757258Sun, 16 Jun 2013 15:55:45 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/bd1c5f90273db9d328448c27e89dff8d/tumblr_moch20xd6T1qbilw3o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/3982c11bf6ca34e1658663d8ef015ca7/tumblr_moch20xd6T1qbilw3o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/f5ad64941b88c6a5cd57eda82360cedb/tumblr_moch20xd6T1qbilw3o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/aae15cf5a80d3ff1f2745084e3919f4e/tumblr_moch20xd6T1qbilw3o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://beckpoppins.tumblr.com/post/52883194385/its-a-cruel-cruel-cruel-summer-ootd-aka-warm">beckpoppins</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>“it’s a cruel, cruel, cruel summer” ootd AKA warm weather lydia deetz.</p> </blockquote> <p>Ugh i LOVE this outfit!
