Since coming to Japan that I got interested in the most varied array of subjects. Branding, Marketing, Social Sciences, Gender Studies, neurology, etc etc. Today I was watching a tv program and saw a particular person there and got interested in looking it up because she said some things I could relate to.
I feel I have a weird ability of adaptation to "roles" that I don't see in other people, and look what I found out.
On Androgyny and gender roles:
" According to Sandra Bem, androgynous men and women are more flexible and
more mentally healthy than either masculine or feminine individuals;
undifferentiated individuals are less competent.
(...)
To a degree, context influences which gender role is most adaptive.
In close relationships, a feminine or androgynous gender role may be
more desirable because of the expressive nature of close relationships.
However, a masculine or androgynous gender role may be more desirable in
academic and work settings because of the demands for action and
assertiveness.
One study found that masculine and androgynous individuals had higher
expectations for being able to control the outcomes of their academic
efforts than feminine or undifferentiated individuals.

But then again, don't take me that serious. I might just be overly influenced and excited by what I just read. It all comes down to what one's perception of self. Mine. Yours.
and btw I started reading a new book. I have very high expectation for it. The Reanimation of Edward Schuett
