Looking Back

After researching this problem, I have come to a better understanding of romantic relationships. I’ve never been emotionally invested in anything in my life. This held true for my romantic relationships. There were 2 reasons why I didn’t dive into a relationship. 1 reason was because I didn’t know what I should do. With feminist demanding independence and equality, dating kind of fell into a fuzzy gray zone for me. The other reason is that I probably wouldn’t be worth any girl I did ask out. But, a personal definition of self-worth never changes. So the best course is to remedy that things that can change.

           Gender roles can be changed over time. Albeit it is an uphill climb, I can affect it. Specifically the perceptional and allegiance to the established gender roles. I always thought that I was over thinking those issue. It turns out, I’m not the only one left in limbo and the reason is the continued existence but lack of acknowledgement to relationship gender roles. I may not be able to directly apply this to myself, but, it will help me aid others through their uncertainty.
