Feminine men and manly females

I'm happy to notice that Finland is moving away from traditional male-female-sorta division of it's citizens. It's more socially and morally acceptable to be masculine or feminine regardless of gender than it was, lets say, 20 years ago.

When I was growing up, nothing made me more mad than somebody saying that I cannot do the same things that my male peers or brothers were doing. Ok, I don't know anything about cars but I don't know anything about make-up either. I love to be pampered but also love physical work and I am not afraid to get my hands dirty.

Event hough there has been some improvement, I still hope that people would not specify other people based on their gender but based on who they are as people. Yes, women and men are different, that's a fact. But you cannot make assumptions of people just because to what gender they were born.

I feel like Finland is getting there, year by year.
