as a man/woman, what expectations do you feel are placed on you by society? are they fair? are they unreasonable? do you try to live up to them? why or why not?

be pretty! of course it's fair; being pretty is the most important thing. i mean, i guess it's unreasonable if you're born ugly, but hey, if there weren't ugly people, we might not know what "pretty" actually means.

what expectations do you place on yourself because of your sex?

oh, i dunno. i'm too busy making dinner for my breadwinner to think about stuff like this!



good topic, carrie!
