The modern heroines in the movies would probably slam me for it. Gender stereotypes are pretty old-fashioned these days, outmoded and regressive. We've gone through a massive cultural confusion regarding the roles of boys and girls and we're left with a mess. And I think that's pretty sad.
Why don't we let boys be boys and girls be girls and celebrate that? I'm not saying that girls who hate pink need to learn to love it, or all boys need to play sports. There are a few things that are rather unstereotypical about me - I love to talk about and read theology and watch football movies, for example. Those aren't things intrinsic to being a female; they're what make me an individual. But I'm still a girl and my strengths and weaknesses and desires are shaped around my femininity.
My gender was not a choice. I am a female because God made me one. I'm not as strong as my brother. My mind works differently than his. I am more emotional than he is. We are different. He loves destruction and eating and weight lifting and swords. What fuels his strengths and weaknesses and desires are shaped around his masculinity. He is a boy, and I am a girl.
Gender stereotypes are not as dangerous as the media would have you believe. There are certain things that are beautifully different about boys and girls. Maybe instead of trying to erase gender we should embrace it. Maybe we should celebrate the way that God made us, as male and female in His glorious image. Maybe the stereotypes aren't so destructive after all. Maybe they're just norms, because that's how God made us.
