So here is my first class prompt that needs to be published here I need to talk about the earliest memory I have about the expectations of being a girl I had and the most recent. This is kind of a hard for me because I have 2 brothers and grew up in a neighborhood of boys. Short story I was a tom boy through and through I even broke my arm playing football with the boys in second grade. Not to mention I joined the Navy where I knew that I would be out numbered 1 girl to every 4 boy.
But while I was trying to come up with this memory I did remember a time that I went to Glamour Shots with my mom. It was a great time I was about 5 years old. I felt like a movie star I got to get my hair done and had my whole face done with makeup. That is what girls do right; we dress up, do our hair and put on our makeup. It was a great memory, and the only time as a child that I remember really becoming girly, I felt pretty.
Most recently I was on a date and while we were waiting for the waiter to come get our order I had made my intentions of dinner selection known to my date. And once the waiter came to get our order my date ordered my meal as well. He took charge that is what we expect out of men right? To be honest I liked it, I still hold true to some of the gender expectations. I like a guy who likes to speak for me once I make a decision for myself. I choose my meal and my date took the opportunity to relay that information for me.
