i was talking to kirstin about reasons for, and general feelings surrounding my recent break up and ongoing break up. a lot of things about gender jump out at me

zachary david busse, i always knew you were a sensitive being.
whats fucking shitty about gender constructs is that they are really hard to say goodbye to. i, of course, consider myself to be a tough bad ass feminist, but constantly notice myself asking males to do stupid shit like open jars [even when there are other ladiez around]. its pretty impossible and annoying.
when going through times of heart break its totally shitty to think of how gender constructs affected the relationship. even though i know you to be a particularly sensitive person it is not surprising to me that the strong male hold reached out and grabbed you. my feeling on constructed gender roles is that if you arnt very concious of them pretty much at all times , its impossible not to succumb to bogus expectations and stereotypes.
its important to remember that it doesnt make sense to [subconciously] think that you dont deserve to feel things as thouroughly as people who arnt males. you deserve feelings! i deserve to open my own fuckin' jars! maybe we can work
