REPLYING TO TAGS: GENDER STEREOTYPES

Filed under: General — Raja @ 10:33 AM

This is in reply to a tag from Sands. The tag is called, “My Sins Against Gender Stereotypes.” Here are my sins:

  1. I love to talk about feminism (and other such stupid things)
  2. I cried while watching a movie (Deshdrohi starring Kamal R Khan. Watch it to know why I cried)
  3. I suck in Mathematics
  4. I love chocolates. More sinfully, white chocolates!
  5. I procrastinate, ad infinitum!
  6. Given a chance, I will watch Kyun Ki …….. Bahu Thi (or other such hilarious crap)
  7. I have an extremely poor sense of logic
  8. I am afraid of spiders
  9. I save pennies and use dollar bills to light cigarettes
  10. Religion and puja stimulate me (no, ‘puja’ doesn’t refer to a girl)
  11. An ex-roomie of mine, a guy, had told me “I love you” and I felt happy (well, …………. well ………)
  12. I can’t generally be straightforward

I tag the following 12 bloggers. Each of them may choose to tag 12 others:

  9. I wouldn’t say it’s funny. It seems sexist to me. You can do better.

    • It doesn’t really matter who’s replying to a tag and who isn’t. I personally don’t quite like this tagging or awarding business. But it’s good once in a while.
      Feel free to ignore the tag.
