Doing something "manly"

For a class exercise we were supposed to complete a task usually reserved for the other gender. So I elected to open a few doors for my some fellow students, girls and guys. While mostly both genders simply responded with a 'thanks', some male students refused to go through the door. They would hold it and tell me to go ahead. Oh well, I can't help it if they can't accept a nice gesture.

On a different note and related to my earlier post I wanted to comment briefly on Shiloh Pitt's new haircut. People have left all kinds of negative comments on social media sites and celebrity sites about how this poor child will end up with gender issues, because she dresses like a boy and prefers a boys hair cut. I think it is slightly ridiculous that people don't let this poor child be. She has three brothers, two of them older, that she might idolize or she might just be a tomboy. I don't have any kids yet, but once I do I doubt I will be arguing much with my 5-year-old about a haircut. If it is not unhealthy and the child is happier, so be it. Also the shorter it is, the less maintenance it needs :) .
