i agree. genderal differences shouldn't matter. but, it is true that different genders have different hormones which make them behave differently.

I have long hair. One guy and his friends said, OMG IT'S A GIRL! GET OUT OF HERE! IT HAS COOTIES! Seriously. I'm in middle school.

It's just plain old ignorant, like racism, homophobia, disrespecting other religions (unless they are the hardcore religious people), etc.

So it's okay to disrespect people who are hardcore religious? 

Okay, 8 through 11 year olds saying "Eww boys are gross" and "Ew girls have cooties" isn't exactly real sexism. It's just childlore and immaturity, and it's not exactly exactly a problem. You youngsters have yet to run into true sexism.

So, I don't think discussing this stuff is exactly a worthwhile way to spend your time. Go outside and play catch or something.

no it's more personal than that considering these people are 12....13? and know very well that it's more than "cooties" so i find that invalid


here's a quote from someone i got off from Wikipedia

"In the area of band directors, it is a very masculine place. The majority of band directors are male. Does this mean that women cannot succeed in this arena of the work environment? Absolutely not. What it means is that they typically have to work twice as hard to get the same or at least close to the same amount of respect and success. Is this fair? Not at all."

see this is what im talking about >.> like, the baby girls haaave to read the princess books because they're girls and the boys just caaaaaan't play with the dolls

Well I assumed you meant 8 through 11 year olds, that being the general case on this website.

Personally, If I think there aren't differences between sexes, then loose the label. But I don't.

ike, the baby girls haaave to read the princess books because they're girls and the boys just caaaaaan't play with the dolls

No one said that.... :?  Thats just among individual people. Nothing stops boys from playing with girl toys and vice versa. It's just natural that after 6000 years (Agnostics can keep to themselves) of human development, Boys and Girls will have different interests.

What's worse: sexist teachers and pricipals. They made my time at school last year a , dare I say, living hell.

Well, I agree. But with little kids it's okay because they don't know much. Actually sexism is much scarier.... We learned about women's rights in some countries around the world. Some of the stuff makes you want to cry. 

Middle School is wonderful, no? 

Tip of the day: brace yourselves for a freight train of surprises about the world.

like them throwing baby girls out the window because they're "pointless," a man can have 4 wives, and the woman can't be seen?

By hardcore religious, I mean Christians going around telling people they are going to go hell, for example.

Thanks for using my belief.

It was just an example, don't take it the wrong way and don't forget the reason he said it.
