Walk like a woman, eat like a man

Everyone knows the perfect American couple: Barbie and Ken. Barbie is the beautiful blonde with long hair and an unimaginable body. She is nice, quiet, and loves to dress up. Then there's Ken, he is buff, loves sports, and is always looking out for Barbie. Whoever invented Barbie and Ken is obviously crazy. They have corrupted generations of kids into thinking they have to be exactly like them.

To me being in high school, is like having Barbie and Ken rule your school. The cheerleaders are Barbie, and the jocks are Ken. Any tomboy, band geek, or gay are the $1 dolls in the clearance aisle. The way men and women are supposed to act has ruined our society.It's taken years for people to accept same sex marriage. Fortunately people are becoming more aware of how they use negative terms. Maybe in a few years it will be okay to be a woman and be a slob or be a man and wear desginer clothes.
