On the other side of the coin....there are some of us women who don't fit the stereotype women either.

So many women when they see a baby they go for it & want to hold it. I have NO desire to hold a baby & usually look from a distance. Always have which was why it was so difficult to have a baby of my own. The thing is..it must not be stereotype if so many women react that way to babies unless they are ALL controlled by the stereotype. I think it's more the nature of their make up & there are some of us who just don't fit that nature....the same goes with men.

Each person has their own nature sometimes based on how they were brought up. I wasn't brought up to not like babies...I wasn't brought up with any message given. I didn't care about playing with dolls EVER & always preferred being the tomboy & playing with the guys given my natural choice.

I personally never let it bother me how I felt or didn't feel about things. If someone else had a problem with my reactions....it was their problem..not mine.

Guys have emotions they just show them in different ways than many women do....it's not always about stereotype...it's about how they are made up. Some guys express their emotions differently than others...just like some women don't express their emotions in the way many other women do....but it doesn't mean that they don't have those emotions any more than a woman doesn't who doesn't react in way that seems to be the way a majority of women react.

A majority might act in a certain way but that action doesn't define the underlying feelings/emotions that exist.
