Beautiful Handwriting 

Okay, Here I go. As I can tell from the article I shared with you, any society has a set of deeply embedded values and attitudes that are believed to be right. These values and attitudes consitute the base of our daily lives. So, it seems to me that if you want to discuss any issues related to feminism, there is then a need to understand the importance that gender roles and stereotypes, in terms of values and attitudes, play in any sociocultural context. This much is true if you look closely enough at how men and women are expected to behave, dress, act, and speak in Chile. For example, you might find it utterly ridiculous, but macho stereotypes exerted a profound influence over the way I used to write by hand when I was a little child. The thing is that I used to have a very beautiful handwriting style. Another male child, who happened to be in the same class, noticed that and made a disparaging remark about it: "you write like a girl". From that moment onwards, I decided to write like a 'MANLY MAN'. You can actually see the consequence of that unkind remark anytime I write something on the whiteboard. Gender stereotypes affect people. Some of them may seem very silly, but they could constitute unfair treatment or a discriminatory practice towards anyone who wants to express himself/herself fully.

So, I just used to write some verses on notepads that no one would ever read or know about, except the girlfriend I had at that time. The thing is that this girlfriend and I used to attend poetry workshop
