A day in the Life: Gender in the Media, Gender Rolls, and how i've been fighting them with out knowing it

shyn-midili:

So today happened, and it happened quick and i am exhusted.

Today i spoke about something that is very important in my life, something which until today, i didn’t realize just HOW important or how much it had effected me my entire life, and how i’ve continued to subconsciously be an activist…

Three days ago, my fiance found this image of iggy pop wearing a dress with this quote.
I knew i had to show it to my son.  
 
————————————————————————————————————————————-
My son recently wanted to get his ears pierced. Me having modifications i told him. “you have to wait 3 months and think about it, and if you still want it done then you have to ask you dad” my son is 6. for those of you that don’t know, my son has long hair, likes pink, wears nail polish, is a hockey player, a womanizer, and i’m pretty sure can kick your sons ass (but we don’t teach him that :D) and most adults i know. We’ve raised him to be confident in himself, his decisions and we love everything about him. His other side of the family had tried making fun of him, bullying him, bribing him to cut his hair, they tell him he looks like a girl. He’s not sad that thay say that, he’s sad because his family doesn’t love who he is (his words not mine) so anyways back to the earrings, his dad (who has had pierced ears) told jake NO, becaues you already look too girly with long hair and painted nails. Jake cried when he told me.. NOT because he couldn’t get them pierced but because his dad didn’t love who he was. so incredibly sad. I love my son, everything about him, and this image is amazing and i will surly be printing it and putting it up in his room!

Jake asked me today if I can print out that photo of Iggy Pop. I asked him where he wanted it and he said next to his bed so he can read it every morning!
