This is my first Tag on this blog. IHM has asked me to do this Tag.
She says, “Please list at least ten things you have ever wanted or done which your gender is not supposed to.”
It is titled: My sins against gender stereotypes.


We have all had gender stereotyping stuffed down our throats at some part of our life or another. It is the assumption that certain jobs, skills and interests are meant for a particular gender that stinks up to high hell.
Many bloggers of repute are now outlining the things they’ve done or would like to do that transcends gender barriers.

Here is my list - My sins against gender stereotypes

1. Like cooking
2. Like clean home and cleaning the home.
3. When I was in school I was in Scholar Batch so studied with girls and participated in Bhondla which I enjoyed it. "Bhondla is the specialty of Maharashtra's culture. It unites ladies and provides them some moments of enjoyment. Morning school was for girls and afternoon school was for boys . And a special batch of boys and girls , mixed batch was started in morning session.
4. I do not like driving and do not hesitate to sit behind the girl if she is driving only if I have confidence that she knows driving as good as me or better than me.
5. I like Pink color
6. I like the chocolates
7. I like diamonds.
8. I like silk
9. I like flowers
10. I like romantic movies.


The girls who like the things which boys like are called as tomboys and boys who like the girl things are called as Sissy boys. And there is new term also Metro sexual males.

Tomboys and Sissy boys society looks at them differently.
Boys who love the girl things may become target of society as well as friends.

If we carefully read ancient stories one can easily find the great males and their love for girly things or the things which they have done.
Arjuna and Krishna is a good example I think
Arjuna – staying one year story
Krishna - distribution of Amrut story and calming of Shiva.

I believe that male or female both enjoy all things which are beautiful which gives us happiness and freshness.
Everything depends on the child hood and parenting skills of parents and studies. Higher studies and book reading habits.
It is important that which type of books one is reading if someone is reading wrong type of religious books then he may end up becoming terrorist.

People are afraid to go against the society and how backword or liberal is society on that depends the choices of male and female.

When I started to write this tag I thought its very easy but as I started to write down this tag I found it very difficult.

This is like a serial Sach Ka Samna. And also this is my first tag found it very difficult.

Thanks IHM for asking me to write this Tag.
