Entry No. 2 - " Journal "

Here is the first rant I've decided to evict from my mind. This isn't a journal, the real title is " Dear Diary ". I wish I could title it that but it would be weird. Why is that? Why is it that because I am a man this can't be called my diary? What is so feminine about the word diary? I guess it's just how my world has evolved. That sounds stupid, how have we evolved in only one aspect? I guess it's like those video game skill trees, you can really only pick one path and every so often put some points into the others. That pisses me off though. How has my world evolved so much towards the catering of women, yet some still act like they aren't treated fairly. I mean, the definition of what a woman should be has changed a lot. Women can be anything now, they can express their emotions without being judged to harshly, they can act like a traditional guy or girl, and they can treat guys however they want with little repercussions. On the other hand, you have men. We are their outlets to express their emotions, but when we try to express ours they don't care. We still are expected to act a certain way and if we don't we are labeled as " Gayly " or " Weird ". This world confuses me. I was taught to hold the door open for others but women get mad at me for doing so. I have stopped holding the door open for anyone and am still being berated for not holding the door. We put women on a high horse and now are treated like shit. This isn't me saying we need to put them in their place, this is me saying we need to stop the gender norms on men. I want to stop feeling inferior for who I am.
