Re: gender/sexuality bullshit sub thread

[crossy_woad]

I like that, OP.

I remember watching an interesting thing that stuck with me on "River Monsters." The host was staying with Aboriginals in Australia for a while looking for a big fish, and he spent time with the native women fishing. It was something women always did - "women's work" so to speak - to catch fish for food. That stuck with me as something interesting, because in so many other cultures it's the opposite -- fishing is masculine and something the men mostly do.

(The women were much better at it than he was, but they accepted his help and were nice to him. They also seemed to think better of him for being willing to work at it, which I can totally dig. People are always more impressive if they're willing to try hard at something they don't already know how to do.) (Of course the host could fish well, but their traditional fishing method was new to him.)

Anyway that is clearly gender construct. Whether fishing is "masculine" or "feminine." I just thought that was interesting.

If there were NO labels on things, so that you weren't, er, swimming against the tide of gender stuff no matter what you chose to do, that would be pretty amazing. If people just did stuff they liked and wanted to try, instead of having to worry about how it came across, that woudl be so cool.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I would also like if this applied to all boundaries. Also, that program sounds cool.

It's a great show. :D The host, Jeremy Wade, looks for giant people-eating* fish in freshwater, then catches them if he can, and releases them. He loves fish so much, it's fun to watch. He also respects the local cultures. :)

*possibly people-eating; basically big enough to eat someone, maybe, according to legends & such - he's found some cool shit
