Who gets to decide what is feminine and masculine? In some Asian countries math is seen as very feminine. Here it is not.

In the past in the western world, pink was for males, blue for females.

I love to paint in a lot of blue when I paint. I have never seen that as the male color to paint in. Saying it like that just confuses the heck out of me. But so does any "this stands for that" thinking. My thinking is very direct, I don't really think in symbols and if people suggest I do, and what I "really" think... I get confused, mad, sad....

I don't think being an aspie is being like an extreme male. Here in my country where men and women can be who they are more, I can hang out with both. Most my American online friends are male, because I simply don't understand the dancing around American women do verbally and socially. But I've never interpreted that as a male brain thing.

I'm not ready to cut out things from my life because they are considered either gender, and I really don't want to try "female" things... which I don't even know what they would be. I kind of AM that stupid, I have no real take on what is female. Should I wear high heels? Cook more? I soon run out of things what female could be.

It would be interesting to know what is seen as female, because I'm so clueless...
