Women are perceived to
be the weaker sex while men are seen as strong. You call a woman, a man, she
feels proud as she assumes you see her as being better than the average woman.
You call a man, woman, he cries literally, feeling so down cast as he assumes
you conceive him to be weak something he wouldn’t want to be. This explains why
masculine girls don’t seem to have it all bad as feminine guys (effeminates).
Whereas girls’ masculinity is seen as abnormal, it is regarded as being better
than effeminacy which is also seen as abnormal.
The effeminates story
is a story of hatred and little or no love, a story of pain, a story of having
no friends, a story of wanting to be who you are not, a story of a struggle to
fit in, a story of rejection, a story of fights and bullies, a story of
survival, a story of stigmatization and descrimination, a story of feelings of
abnormality and inferiority, a story of weakness and of strength as a whole lot
of fighting and struggling and attempt to survive is involved.
This is a story of
weakness and strength particularly, because being effeminate is being seen as
weak. Strength because being effeminate involves a whole lot of fighting to
win, to be, to be respected, to be accepted and to be who you are and who you should
be. The option is only to win, but many never get a chance to strike a blow at
any of the enemies warring against them. Many a life and dreams has been lost
to this fight and many more quickly getting lost and these lifes can only be
saved when the effeminates story is paid enough attention.
I do not wish to argue
the ‘maleness’ of effeminates or their weaknesses, but their strengths and
their stories I must celebrate. This we would do every Saturday in the strong
girl feature. There are strong girls because effeminates are strong and because
everyone calls them (girl) weak.
