this survey thing

Yeah, okay, I'm game for filling out a survey for Amanda's gender project. Never mind that she doesn't read my weblog. I'll have to find some way of letting her know I answered.

For the record, I'm a 25-year-old girl.

1. Would you be comfortable dressing your son in pink?
Maybe... if he wanted to wear it. I'm not sure I'm comfortable dressing anyone in pink.

2. Would you be comfortable crying in public?
no

3. Would you vote for a female president?
Yes, definitely.

4. Do you think women should be in the armed forces?
As it stands now, there's no draft, and people who join the military do so voluntarily. And yes, I think that women who want to do so should be able to join. It becomes more complicated when you start talking (hypothetically) about involuntary military service. I don't like the idea that anyone would -have- to join the military, but then, I can't justify asking (as a woman) for equal rights but not being willing to accept equal responsibility.

5. Do you smoke?
No

6. Do you drive fast?
My current car just won't go that fast, but with my previous car, yes, I drove fast.

7. Do you enjoy shopping?
In moderation.

8. Should males be the one to propose?
Not necessarily.

9. Do you enjoy poetry (be it listening/reading/writing it...)?
I often find it dull.

10. Do you do the laundry?
Yes

11. Do you know how to change a tire?
Yes

12. Do you feel pressured to look good?
Sometimes.

13. Do you like kids?
Yes, but I like that they can go home, too.

14. Do you want children of your own?
Maybe, someday. I need to grow up a lot first.

15. Do you listen to rap?
Nope

16. Do you listen to pop?
Not generally.

17. Do you consider yourself emotional?
If by emotional you mean that I'm easily upset and cry at the drop of a hat, then not really. But I often let my intuition guide me in my beliefs and opinions, and I think emotions feed into that. So maybe.

18. Do you enjoy any sports?
I like to watch college football. I enjoy participating in most sports. Well, at least the ones where I'm not likely to break a leg.

19. Do you fix mechanical stuff?
Yes, I'm a tinkerer.

20. Are you neat?
Sadly, no. I'm rather untidy. It's one of my vices.
