This week's thefridayfive is about gender:

1. How are you stereotypically female? I paint my nails, I scream if I see a bug, I watch cheesy Lifetime movies, I rub cellulite cream on my thighs, and I'm oversensitive. I'm sure there's more but you get the idea.

2. How are you stereotypically male? O.o Well, stereotypically, I suppose you'd say the fact that I like baseball and beer and video games makes me male. But plenty of girls like those things too.

3. What parts of you do you consider unclassifiable as either gender? Um... my fandoms? Mostly.

4. Do you think you are primarily male, female, or neither in characteristics? Female liek woah.

5. If you could be born as any gender, knowing the gender prejudices as they are now, which would you choose to be? Female: I'm way too girly to be a boy. And to quote Elaine from Seinfeld: "I don't know how you guys walk around with those things." I really don't, they seem awfully... in the way.

Do you believe gender is a social construct? Or that some things are innate?

I'll give my usual on-the-fence answer of "not sure" or "possibly both."

Do you scream at mice?

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I have never before encountered a mouse running around loose, so I couldn't say. Mice are way cuter than cockroaches, though, so maybe I wouldn't.

Really? we've always had problems with mice & rats. I hate them - disgusting, stinky, creatures ( except kangaroo rats which are native & usually say in the backyard).
I scream like a woman off a 50s sitcom.

We've had mice at the movie theatre I used to work at, but I never saw any personally. They used to run through our cabinets and chew holes in our candy boxes :) They put mousetraps around but luckily I didn't have to deal with any dead ones either. There were boys around for that sort of thing. Ah, stereotypes are good sometimes!
