Day 5: Do I Look Like Pin Up Girl!!

As the days are going on there is very little attention being paid to me being ridiculously dressed. I have found people are uncomfortable with the fact that number one; I'm wearing a Speedo and number two I'm abnormally padded. In most instances now its just a big joke around campus.Atleast I'm not the only one.

In society there is and always has been a strong male dominence regardless of the rights woman have today a "Man's" word is the last word (Richard Glover. 2010). Men have always followed rules about dress, manners, actions, hobbies and so on. Is it possible that the male stigma has caused individuals to feel awkard. Is a tough attitude and a thick mask is supppose to hide feelings and individuality (Richard Glover. 2010).

 Today I put a ring of flowers around my neck and walked around college. People thought it was humorous and amusing but this is where every body is seen as equal so what is one extreme from another. I don't think I would have got the same reaction from other individuals as it is a day ago I was asked if I'm on drugs.

In Australia "Male Etiquette" has caused many men from coming out of the closet and being who they want to be ( Richard Glover. 2010). In order to be a man do I have to guzzle beer, talk nonsense and be a good sportsmen? The answer to that is be who you want to be as long as you are at contempt with yourself and those around you.
