Welcome to the Land of Liberties

Often times I've wondered why stereotypes exist. I seem to come up short, but I was talking to a friend and we agreed that it is more than likely because society has set up "standards", as they say, and we are supposed to uphold them. 

These standards have become chains and while times have changed, some chains have broken and some have grown tighter. 

As the centuries have passed, the  "standards" have changed for the better and for the worse. Women are supposed to act as barefoot housewives in public but are sometimes the sole provider behind closed doors. Men are no longer counted on as the sole provider. Women are now expected to help, if not also pick up the slack if the man isn't. 

Expectations don't necessarily pertain to living arrangements. 

In the earlier years men and women alike weren't known to have multiple partners. That stipulation no longer applies to men but it still sticks for women. For a women to have multiple partners, she becomes known as a hoe, whereas men are upheld as kings for their conquest.

Hopefully no toes will be stepped on with my blog. I won't downplay anything.
