i keep forgetting rl is not fandom
Apr. 2nd, 2011 09:47 amMOM: Men wear wallets and women wear purses. You have a wallet, and that's manly.
ME: lol no. I like my manly wallet, tyvm~
MOM: There are only two genders: man and woman. EVERYONE ELSE IS A MUTATION
ME: That's not true! INCORRECT GENDER BINARY
DAD: Yes it is! BIOLOGY blah blah EVOLUTION blah blah
[annoying conversation here]
ME: So you don't think boys are socialized to be more violent?
DAD: Well... MAYBE IN ARABIC COUNTRIES
ME: D:
....I KEEP FORGETTING RL IS NOT FANDOM, GUYS. Apparently, most people believe there are two genders with a clear line that separates them. And maybe that's true for some people, but the whole THERE ARE MEN (ON MARS!) AND WOMEN (ON VENUS!) is such a bizarre concept to me.
Also, the surprise!racism at the end was... pleasant. My dad as this habit, tho. If he sees an opportunity to talk about the crazy japanese/violent muslims/[insert offensive statement about poc here], HE WILL TAKE IT.
