I do think about my gender all the time but a lot of it I think is because it comes up so often in the kinds of places I read online (which I'm almost never there for in particular). If it wasn't THE social issue just now I think I'd think about it about 10% as much as I do, and default onto the 'men and women can do the same things, gender norms are socially imposed and i am above them' attitude, which I picked up when I was around 14 from just thinking about it for myself and reading some old feminist books.

It's created quite a mess in my head which I kind of keep to myself because I think culture is working out things which have nothing to do with me and I should kind of stay out of it. But it does have an effect that I think is loving me up a little bit, to view myself in ways I otherwise wouldn't (men are bad, therefore you are bad) and question things I probably shouldn't (maybe there are certain things that define being a woman?).

The misery is even when you're not horny you're supposed to feel horny so there's a feeling of inadequacy which creates a feedback loop so you overcompensate by acting like an Ur stereotype and ohhhh that's what I'm an rear end in a top hat. Society made my dick make me a dick.

what situations are you describing? because this is alien to me
