what exaclty is the message you think this poster is trying to convey?

[bonnica10]

i think that everybody should be exactly who they want to be and not have to care about conforming to social expectations

i think for some people its hard to do that- hard to break from what is expected of them- the stereotypes, yadda yadda

i just think that the gender rolls that most of our society abides by are not necessarily justified,

some people have no problems w/ this stuff b/c they feel comfortable w/ the rolls that society assigns them. for others, it is not the case. those people deserve freedom

the WWF wrestler should be able to cry (if he wants)
the sorority girl should be able to roll in the mud and play football w/ the guys (if she wants)
the gay man should not have to talk in a high "feminine" voice, and anyone who does should not be assumed gay...

i dont know, i just think that in general, people should do more living for themselves, not for anyone else. if you dont fit in a stereotype box, youll make some people uncomfortable, but at least youll be comfortable w/ yourself
