Do you ever feel pressure to "be a man" or "be a woman"?

And in what way does it happen to you in your daily life?

One thing I hate being told is to “be a man” or “man up” or something like that. It’s so often said in an assholish way. I for one don’t really care how feminine I am; it’s just the way I am.

But I will admit that sometimes I do feel like I come off as “weak” or “feminine” and that people will look down on me for that. I’m not here to please anybody or anything, but it is something that will occasionally bother me. Especially when I’m around people who more “manly” than I am.

Oh hell, when I’m around STRAIGHT guys. There; I said it.

ALSO: Don’t mind the avatar; I’m just trying out something new. :)
