I am a woman and I don't care about it

There has been a post going viral in Facebook a few months back, one that I found so infuriating. It was about a girl claiming the what-seems-to-me-stupid stuff she does in the name of being a woman. I have this problem that I tend to keep getting back to things that irritate me, so I decided to vent it out.

Here is the original post for your reference. 

 

I may push when it says pull, but that is probably because I am preoccupied, or not paying attention. Ending up in a place and not remembering why is indicative of absent mindedness and not any kind of femininity. I have certainly seen men doing that too and I will try to find any study linking the inability to understand instructions to women alone.

I care about people who don't care about me. Yes, sometimes. In fact,  more times than I'd like. But that is just because I am a tad too emotional and brood on my past. I sure am working on it and will one day move on. I think it is just a part of being human and there is no reason or necessity to justify this saying 'I am a woman'.

I don't count using my fingers in math and I have laughed harder trying to explain why I am laughing but please, so have a dozen guys I know. And I can't even start trying to understand where a microwave beep comes in.

I cry a lot more than you think I do? Hell yeah, I believe tears are not meant to be broadcast to the entire damn world. And my "loved ones" respect me enough to let me handle my pain and are sensible enough to not want to show off by being a fricking part of it.

I may be going overboard here but I am really frustrated with women defending things by the name of femininity. Being a woman may mean different things to different people. It could be a matter of pride, a cause of pain, an opportunity to succeed. To me, it is something else. It doesn't mean anything huge. I am a woman, I have things in common with other women. But that is as true as me having things in common with people who like music, people who read books and people who love going to new places.

I believe in equality, the true kind. I am as capable, as vulnerable, as stupid as any other human out there. I don't need any other virtue to defend my weaknesses or attribute my strengths. My dear fellow women, we don't need any more stereotyping around here!!
