Gender Swap/Reversal?

[Guest]

This isn't what you think, or maybe it is?

My hubby and me are sat here and Big Brother 5 is on the telly. It just started yesterday and we were talking about some of the people in it. There is a really beautiful woman, great figure, very pretty face, etc. There is also another very sexy woman. She's also got a good figure, and a pretty face.

I was thinking to myself, Yeah, that one is stunning, but I bet she'd not be good for a shag. She's pretty aloof and is walking around in a pink cardigan. The other one, on the other hand, is cavorting around the place wearing a black bikini and covered in mud. Sexy is all about attitude.

Anyway, this isn't the point of this post. After I had that thought, I told my hubby what I'd been thinking, and asked what he thought. He said (and get this - I nearly snorted Stella out of my nose when he said it), "I was just wondering what the blonde one had done to her hair."

LOL!

I then began wondering what this said about him and me. Have we been together so long, that we have begun to swap gender? We are very equal and have talked a lot in the past about the way men and women, in general, are perceived to think differently. He thinks I think like a bloke. I think he's a girly.

Don't really know why I said all of that, but it struck me as interesting.

I can understand that completely, Loulou. Odd role reversals are par for the course here at my house.

I think all men have a feminine side, just as all girls were tom boys at one time or another. In fact I'd go as far as to say we should all keep in touch with our gender opposites. Perhaps it's our good and bad sides combined that make us who we are.

Is that time to worry? Damn...

 

[Guest]

I get you, Loulou. I can think like a bloke too, and often enough re. sex. I'd guess you and hubby were always like you are now, and probably has something to do with what attracted/attracts you to each other.

Too often "in bed" with a man I've seen a look that tells me he's frightened. Not simply scared, of me or sex, but of my "blokeness". I like that.

Oh, I do all the odd jobs around the house already. Bookcase needs putting together, I do it. Shed needs constructing, I do it. I changed a tyre once, while he "directed" me. I'm building a picnic table tomorrow.

He's gonna wash his hair and see to the pot plants, or sommat.

I'm sure it's been voiced before, but for those of us who aren't, it's a damn shame you are straight

Yes, I think you are right, we have always been like that. With regard to sex, things are much like you described. Sometimes he looks at me as if I'm about to eat him alive. Sweet little me?

I'm not afraid to say what I want, either, but he's pretty reserved. There's a definite "blokeness" in my attitude to sex. He's sweet.

I've always been something of a tomboy myself - still that way.

I have my own toolbox - off limits to everyone, thank you. I can work on my car and do minor plumbing/electrical stuff (a boyfriend, once upon a time, was an electrician).

I like doing stuff like that. I despise housework - would rather cut the grass or work on the car.

edited to add: when we were still breeding our horses, I was the one that did all the training with them. I have tons more patience, and hitting the ground numerous times just made me more determined to stay on the next time.

Lou is straight????????
Shit, there goes my ticket to England down the toilet.

Thanks MG, I didn't spot that error because it looked right at a glance. lol

Good point.

It's too bad we have 'tom boys' for girls and nothing for boys, other than 'sissy.' It seems like we expect girls to go through a phase where they explore the excepted domain of the opposite gender, but we really freak out when little boys do the same. Doesn't mean it's not there, but it's easy to forget that it is and that it's healthy when we have no language for it.

I don't think it's healthy. (the allout supression of the feminine side of the male, to clarify)

I think all men have a feminine side, just as all girls were tom boys at one time or another. In fact I'd go as far as to say we should all keep in touch with our gender opposites. Perhaps it's our good and bad sides combined that make us who we are.

That sounds like every relationship I've ever had. I'm always the "guy" in any company. With female friends, I'm the one they tirn to for the male point of view, unless there is an actual guy present, of course. With boyfriends, I'm always the one who wants to belch, drink beer, watch the game and scratch the balls. They never seem to object about the ball-scratching, as the balls are attached to them. But the rest have made more than one a little nervous, as if I was clamping in on their territory.

 

[sweetnpetite]

I have a friend who's b/f told her that she shouldn't wear hightops (shoes) because they were 'unfeminine' We got a laugh outa that one for a good long time

She's not that traditionally feminine to begin with. Not that she's butch or anything, but she doesn't live by any kind of 'code of femininity' lol.

*grins* .. You do what you do, is the way I see it.

I know that whisp and I balance each other out pretty damn perfectly, we both can do bits and pieces of most anything that needs doing. I know that I don't have to worry if she needs to change a tire out on the road, and she knows that if she asks me to do the laundry, we won't end up with uniformly dyed clothing.

When the time comes to fix the furnace here at the house, I leave it to her. If the computer needs repairing, that's my job. yesterday, she was asking me fashion tips, because apparently I have the better fashion sense (She'll kill me for saying that, haha), but if I need tips on how to care for my long hair, I'm asking her.

I don't think I, as a male, feel threatened either by her ability to do 'blokey' stuff, or by my need to ask her how to do 'girly' stuff.. We don't make the distinction.

To us, it's just stuff.
