Anytime I hear these words leave a females mouth I can't help to think what mostly enters it....
I understand being annoyed by females, but I'm not sexist, I find everyone annoying. I don't see how hanging around guys is less drama. Generally girls who hang around with only guys get two titles: Lesbian or Slut. Not that it maters if you're gay, or a slut... It just seems as though being labeled as one of those two things if you don't fall into either category can be considered "Drama-like."
Let me stop and mention that I am not bashing girls who have a lot of guy friends, or those who have limited female friends. I just find the phrase "Less drama" in conjunction with "less females" as a false, yet interesting, statement. Yes females are dramatic, but so are men. In the long run, I find it quite interesting that men are considered to be less dramatic.
So let me interrupt with how media sees girls who use this statement.
Interesting...No?
Now what really annoys me is not necessarily the phrase of "I hang out with guys because girls are drama," but the girls who think they are a "man's girl." Now I'm fairly positive the term "Man's Girl" does not exists, but we have all heard of the term "a man's man." Being "a man's man" means you do men things, you hang out, watch sports, play video games, drink beer, etc.
Girls who see themselves as "a Man's Girl" tend to think they are better than a girl who doesn't prefer such a lifestyle that a man leads. Listed below are things that "a man's girl" says and does that makes me think they are trying a bit too hard to NOT be the average female.
-"*eye roll* I drink beer, fruity drinks are too much..." This insinuates the idea that the "man's girl" feels as though she's better than a girl who prefers a Cosmo. She feels that she is more laid back for passing up the fruity vodka because she is willing to sit back and drink a brew-ski with the guys.
-They say "I'm not like most females, I actually watch sports." Cool, I watch sports too, I just don't particularly enjoy all of them. Shoot, my Grams watches more sports than most men in my family, she even screams at the TV, but she does't claim to be a better woman, or like she is above anyone. Men don't flaunt the fact they like musicals to impress females, if they like it they like it. If you like sports, cool. Just know you're no better than a female who doesn't enjoy them.
- "I like to hunt" Shooting a deer is not that exciting to me. In my opinion hunting is boring. If you like to go sit in silence smothered in doe piss crouched in the woods... POWER TO YOU. Not my idea of a fun time. But the main point I want to make is that I feel like A LOT of females say "I like to go hunting" because they think it makes them look AWESOME to the male species. If you don't like to hunt, men might actually prefer that more. They don't want you going anyway....they want to spend time with their dude friends. (PLEASE stop before getting mad!!! If you are a girl who likes to "hunt," you do you, but don't pretend to be something you are not if you couldn't care less about it)
So what I'm getting at is that "a man's girl" thinks that she is better than a girl who doesn't like beer, or who prefers the mall over sports and hunting. I know many girls who genuinely enjoy these things are going to feel targeted and offended, but that is far from my problem. As i've mentioned before, people like to play the victim.
To sum it up, anyone can cause drama no matter their sex. And we shouldn't label them poorly for what they do enjoy. I personally don't like beer, so i'll go for a fruity drink, but I don't think that makes me flighty. If you like to watch football thats great, but don't label a girl who doesn't as being stuck up. All in all, everyone needs to quit pretending they are above one another because of how they act, dress, or drink. Also, don't be something you're not i.e. don't choke down a glass of straight whisky to make people think you're a hard ass. In other words, BE YOURSELF!!!!!!!!
