Stereotypes

Devan:  It’s happening again! She all over me!

Felicia: Who? Maria Jose?

Devan: Yes, Maria Jose! She’s so stubborn! You know what she tried to do today? Kiss             me! (Felicia giggles). It’s not funny!

Felicia: You can’t teach an old dog new trick. She’s used to getting every guy she wants, it’s hard for her to let you go. She thinks she has what it takes to make you             straight.

Devan: Ewww, no thanks. Why doesn’t she hit on Jerry, he’s gay too.

Felicia: Because he’s gay, gay. (Laughs) You’re just gay.

Devan: See that’s the problem. People stereotype gay boys to be all wannabe girls that       move their hips like this when they walk (he does the walk). Omg! I think I just       broke my nail! (more…)

A good friend of mine, I’ll call her kuheli, stopped by one day for a cup of coffee, and sure enough, before we knew it, we were deeply involved in a conversation, discussing the “ right and wrong” ways of being in a relationship. After all, I was writing a book about it, wasn’t I?

Her relationship of two years had recently ended, and thought she was okay with it by then, the wounds had not yet fully healed. The memories of fights with her ex-fiancee were still fresh. She would relive them again and again in her mind wondering if there was something she could have done differently. “Was there another way?” she’d ask herself, arriving each time at the same answer. No. she had been right. She had handled it correctly. She was making sure her needs were met, and no, she wasn’t selfish and unreasonable. It was her boyfriend who had been stubborn and childish, while she was simply respecting.

“So what you are saying is when we are sure we are right, we are actually wrong?” she asked. (more…)
