Personal Freedom (Guns, Guns, and more Guns)

Nothing defines America more than guns. Peace through superior firepower is often times joked around by soldiers as an A-10 Thunderbolt 2 makes a strafe run across the arid terrorist-rich environment of the Syrian battlefield. A hunting advertisement had a picture of a father teaching his daughter how to shoot a rifle, captioning something similar to "because a Restraining Order is just a piece of paper."

Being able to protect oneself is a big reason why (sane) people possess firearms. We have it in the Constitution as an unalienable right, a right that cannot be taken away from you.

Firearms are always a big issue since they became more common to the public. From muskets to lever-action, from bolt-action Springfield M1903's to the selective-fire M16's used by forces around the world, firearms have seen a dramatic development from the creation of our republic.

However with the recent trend of people shooting up malls, schools and movie theaters, presidents in the last few terms have taken drastic measures to control gun violence.

A major placement was the 1994 Clinton Ban, or the Federal Assault Weapons Ban. It was in effect from 1994 to 2004, and banned a number of semi-automatic civilian firearms that were seen as assault weapons. They also banned a number of "high capacity" magazines (Extended Mag for COD players) which would increase the number of rounds in a single magazine to allow more rounds down range and less time reloading (which is when a shooter is most vulnerable). Frank Lautenburg (D- NJ) wrote on the Huffington Post:

"High-capacity magazines -- devices that dramatically boost a weapon's firing power -- were prohibited from 1994 until 2004, when the federal assault weapons ban was in place... It's time to end the bloodshed and restore common sense to our gun laws -- beginning with a permanent ban on high-capacity gun magazines,"

ABC News

For 10 years, the law was in affect. However, the exact effectiveness of the law is inconclusive. Authorities could not determine weather or not the law had help decrease the amount of gun violence in the US within the given time frame.

"Ultimately, the research concluded that it was “premature to make definitive assessments of the ban’s impact on gun crime,” largely because the law’s grandfathering of millions of pre-ban assault weapons and large-capacity magazines “ensured that the effects of the law would occur only gradually” and were “still unfolding” when the ban expired in 2004." - Factcheck.org

Other reports reported that the time frame was too short to give a strong conclusion. Both sides of the argument gave their respective views of the law and said their results of the law.

"independent studies, including one from the Clinton Justice Department, proved that ban had no impact on lowering crime." - Wayne LaPierre, President of the National Rifle Association.

"found that it was responsible for a 6.7 percent decrease in total gun murders, holding all other factors equal (1997 report)...the use of assault weapons in crime declined by more than two-thirds by about nine years after 1994 Assault Weapons Ban took effect (2004)" - Senator Dianne Feinstein's Press Release from 2004 using both reports to build her statement.

Does limiting firearms to the general public result in anything at all? Some say that it's stealing their right to bear arms, while other agree that it is inevitable due to the recent number of criminal activity with firearms usage.

The United States civilians own some 270 million firearms by a Swiss Small Army Survey conducted in 2007. Converted, this approximates to about 88 guns per 100 persons. With that said, the second most firearms owned per capita is Yemen, with about 58 for every 100 persons. Firearms are most commonly used in homicide in the US, and seen from the New Town Shootings, and the recent shootings at Sacramento City College. Since homicide is so frequent, more Americans lose their lives to homicide than terrorism. From about 2001 to 2013, nearly 406,000 people were killed by firearms (homicide, accidents, suicides), compared to only about 3,300 from terrorism brought to Americans (both within and outside US soil). It can be guessed that Americans have become numb to the carnage since it happens so often, so often that 51 mass shooting (4+ killed) has happened since 1997. The same data gives that only 3 mass shooting have taken place in Germany and Switzerland, and none in Australia and Japan. Nearly 33,000 Americans are killed yearly from firearms, which is slightly less than deaths caused by motor vehicle accidents (~35,000).

CNN News: Deaths and Guns in the US

Firearms is indeed a large problem in the US. Homicides are the #1 usage for firearms. You are more likely to be killed by a gunshot wound then drinking alcohol. However, since homicide is in fact a large portion of death, it is important to know how to counter-act the aggression. Finding the medium and equilibrium for firearm regulation is always and will always be a tough compromise for both side. Let's just hope it doesn't start a civil war like the case about Slavery.

Personal Freedom

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights..."

The second paragraph of the US Constitution explain that everyone have certain rights that cannot be taken away from them; those rights being life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, which is in fact Thomas Jefferson's rewrite of John Locke's "Life, Liberty, and Property". We are all given and ensured of our rights in the Constitution; the "Bill of Rights" which refers to the first 10 Amendments in the Constitution is perhaps the most important section of the constitution itself. The first 10 Amendments were all created after the action the British Parliament imposed to the English colonists residing in Colonial America back before the days of the republic.

For example, the British "Quartering Act" during the Revolutionary War forced colonist to quarter British soldiers in their homes without their consent. The Third Amendment restricts soldiers from being quartered in a private home during war or during peacetime.

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

After the 9/11 terrorist attack, the US Department of Homeland Security was established to prevent disasters like 9/11 by improving national security. Organizations like the National Security Agency were created, and the Federal Bureau of Investigations and Central Intelligence Agency were allowed to go full throttle to promote national security. The NSA, FBI, CIA, and the federal government all stressed more security, for the price of freedom. On another note, recent homicides and terrorism spawn new stereotype due to their fear

You may have a hobby like me, where firearms is your things. Taking apart firearms and air rifles to study their anatomy comes natural; you're a gun-nut by nature.

But one sentence of "yeah, I like firearms" to your friends result in everyone else thinking your going to shoot up the school. I fit the perfect frame for a criminal, especially when you're black, tall, likes guns, and my normal face looks like I'm plotting a murder. Thanks guys.

You may know someone who's from Syria, maybe even know that their parents were murdered by terrorists and escaped to the US to live a better life. They tell you how Americans treat you like you're a piece of dog doo-doo. They blame you for something that you have no correlation to. They hate you because you speak the language, you believe the same gods, and you share the same skin color. They loathe you, because you offend their freedom to live a peaceful life.

Since people are taught at a young age that you have rights, you feel frustrated or offended when you are denied from them. This frustration is caused by insecurity and fear of being powerless, unprotected, and vulnerable, which then get expressed with anger, more fear, and anxiety. Fear is the greatest cause of violence. We fight and kill because we fear defeat. We segregate because we fear their existence. We shun those with different religion because we fear their gods and practices. We fight wars because in a battlefield, you won't feel fear when you know your enemy is already dead. "Fear is the only thing we have to fear" (Frankin D. Roosevelt), and absolute freedom is never achievable.

Analyzing Documents (21st Century Edition)

Thousands of images are taken daily of events from across the world. From the first photographs taken dating back to before the American Civil War, to the alien-technology-quality images today, pictures of people, buildings, places, and objects have held many meanings, both positive and negative.

It's just not images that shack the world: videos, speeches, demographics, documents, and graphs also send an output to the world. From the Y2K to the rise of ISIS, countless events are photographed and published daily.


Bellow are 14 images, one image per year, of a significant event from that year of magazines, pictures, news reports, and more.

Images are from Google

2000: Y2K
Remember when someone said that all the world's computers are going to start a uprising? Me neither, but Y2K was the big hoax that the earth was going to stall because of a huge computer bug-crisis-hijack-thing. 

2001: New York Terrorist Attack
September 11th, 2001 is an infamous day that I still remember watching on TV in Japan. The terrorist attack on this day can most likely traced back to America's involvement in the middle east as far back as 1979.

2002: Euros
In 2002, Euro is circulated for the first time being in existence for about 10 years.

2003: Space Shuttle Columbus
The tragic re-entry accident with the Space Shuttle Columbus in 2003 marked one of the worst manned space shuttle accidents after the Challenger accident in 1986.

2004: Indonesian Earthquake
A magnitude 9.1 earthquake hit Indonesia in 2004, and resulted in about 250,000 casualties. Not only did it affect Indonesia, but the waves stretched to Sri Lanka, India, Australia, and many more Oceania and Indian ocean nations. 

2005: Hurricane Katrina
A Category 5 hurricane strikes in August of 2005 and is one of the most costliest natural disasters in the history of the US. States that were hit hard from the storm like Mississippi still have areas that are affected from the storm a decade ago.

2006: Saddam Hussein
Saddam Hussein was sentenced to death by hanging in December of  2006. The US and British invaded Iraq in 2003 to capture  Hussein in suspicion of  possessing Weapons of Mass Destruction and having ties to the Al-Quida.

2007: Korean Train Border Passage
A passenger train passes through the North and South Korean border for the first time since 1953. 

2008: First African-American President
An African-American president elected for the first time in the history. He is basically a US version of Nelson Mandela. Still in office until we get to see who wins in a few days.

2009; Burj Khalifa
The worlds tallest tower finished construction in 2009, and opened to the public in 2010.  Stands 163 floors high, or about 830 meters in height. There's also a night club on the 144th floor if you want to party hard in Dubai.

2010: BP-Oil Spill
Hundreds of gallons of limited resources of fossil fuel was lost when the rig suddenly exploded in April of 2010. About 11 workers are M.I.A., and the US estimates that about 4.9 million barrels of oil was lost. It is the largest marine oil spill in history.

2011: Higashi-Nihon Dai-Shinsai
A magnitude 9 earthquake strikes the north eastern area of Japan on March 11th, 2011. It resulted in about 15,000 dead, 6,000 injured, and about 2,000 that are still missing (assumed dead by this point). The Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Power Plant took a direct hit and caused a large number of radioactive elements to spew into the atmosphere. It is the second nuclear accident rated a 7 on the International Nuclear Event Scale, and is the costliest clean-up and recovery project for Japan (since WW2) and the world (Since Chernobyl).

2012: End of the World
The Mayans predicted that the world was going to end of December 21st, 2012... but they forgot to count leap years so their calculation was thrown off for about 300 years. Hollywood dedicated a rather interesting movie 2012 which kind of seemed like a prequel to Day After Tomorrow to picture a world in chaos.For all I know, when I have kids, I'm going to show my younglings the movie (2012, Day After Tomorrow, and Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and more) and say: "you see, daddy survived all of that. and that's how daddy met mommy!"  

2013: The Death of Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela passes away on 5 December, 2013 at the age of  95. He was a key figure to the Anti-Apartheid in South Africa, and became the first colored president of South Africa in 1994. 

2014: Ukraine Crisis
Began when the president of Ukraine suspends the treaty between them and the EU for an association agreement. Evolved into a riot as western Ukrainian "pro-EU" people clash with eastern-Ukrainian "pro-Russians" groups. Then, the Russians  decides to annex a eastern area of Ukraine called Crimea, which is crawling with pro-Russians. Unrest in other eastern Ukrainian cities have mega-involved into a civil war between the post-Revolutionary Ukrainian government and pro-Russian insurgents. A small scale cold-war between the west and the east again, however, if both sides do to much, the EU, NATO (OK, the US), and Russia are going to be gnarling at each other again....

Below are some of the most historic events off the top of my head that everyone probably remembers from the 20th century.

Images are from Google

1903: Wright Brothers 
First aircraft flight performed by the Wright Brothers using their Kitty Hawk craft in South Carolina. Marked the beginning of aviation technology for the human race.

1904 - 1914: Panama Canal
Construction of the Panama Canal begins in 1904 and ends in 1914. At the time, this region of Panama was part of the US, and some parts are still US Territory. Senator John MaCain's homeland.

1912: Titanic Disaster
The "Unsinkable" Titanic gives eye opening results of a crash test gone wrong. The ship, which has the length equivalent to about the Empire State Building, sank on the morning of April 15th, 1912.

1914 - 1918: Battle(s) of Ypres
Battle of Ypres was fought five different times across 4 years during the First World War. These battles also set records for both sides. The first former colonial state (Canada) to defeat a European power (Germany) on European soil. The first extensive use of chemical agents as a form of weapons by the Germans (Unlike popular beliefs, the Russians were the first to use chemical agents as a form of weapon). You can still go and see the massive trenches dugout by both sides in Belgium, France, Luxembourg, other low countries of Europe.

1917: Bolshevik Revolution
Nothing defines the Bolshevik Revolution more than, blood, vodka, Mosin-Nagants, Lenin, and blood. Basically a French Revolution with a Communist twist happened here as the citizens of Imperial Russia turned against the Tsar (or Czar) and resulted to Socialism for equality between all economic classes of people. This caused the Russians to tap out early during WWI (1917) so they can deal (unsuccessfully) with the revolution.

1919: Ratification of the 18th Amendment
Bad news for alcoholic psychopaths. Just when you're getting turnt up after World War 1 ends, your government bans beer.The 18th Amendment banned the sale, production, and redistribution of any alcohol from 1919 from the Wilson Admin to the Roosevelt Admin in 1933. Kick-started the roaring 20's high-alcohol-intake era and you probably read about this in The Great Gatsby.

1923: Kanto Dai-Sinsai
A rare image of fire-bombed Tokyo after the Pacific War.
PSYCH! If you knew your history, you wouldn't get caught. The Kanto Dai Sinsai was Japan's worst earthquake nightmare until Higashi Nihon Dai-Sinsai of 2011. A vast majority of the city was in ruins, (similar to the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906), as fires spread uncontrollable to the wooden paper houses in Tokyo.

1929: Stock Market Crash
Stock market crashes after too many people "bought on margin". Resulted to the world getting nerfed over by the Americans in Wall Street. Beginning of the Great Depression into the 1930's.

1933: German Federal Election of 1933
The National Socialist German Worker's Party (NSDAP) takes control of German politics in 1933. Marked the end of the Weimer Republic that was leading Germany from 1919 to 1933. NSDAP or the Nazi Party controls Germany from 1933 to 1945.

1939: Invasion of Poland
On September 1st, 1939, the German Army crosses the Polish border to commence invasion operations. The outdated, outgunned, and outnumbered Polish forces were defeated in less than a month. The invasion ended with the German-Soviet Frontier Treaty which split Poland into two: German side and Soviet side. Marks the beginning of the Second World War.

1942 - 1943: Battle of Stalingrad
The Battle of Stalingrad was one of the most bloodiest battles in not only the Second World War, but in the history of man kind. Fought from fall of 1942 to the summer of 1943, intense urban Close-Quarter combat and street fighting led to the complete annihilation of the German 6th Army and casualties in the millions for both side. A turning point of the war for the Soviets as the remaining German forces are pushed all the way back to the fatherland after this campaign.

1945: Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
President Truman approves the usage of Nuclear Weapons bombing on the cities of Hiroshima and Kokura. The 15 kilo-ton "Little Boy" was dropped over Hiroshima on the morning on August 6th, 1945. The slightly larger "Fat Man" had a blast yield of 21 Kt, and was detonated over Nagasaki instead of Kokura on August 9th, 1945. Due to poor weather, both bombs missed their intended targets by about 2 miles, and both bombs resulted with similar results. 

1950-1953: Korean War
The Korean War was fought between the North and South Korean nations for three years. It was the "first" major cold war-era war fought between communism and democracy. The US-led newly-formed United Nation fought alongside the South Koreans, while China, and later the Soviet Union aid the North Koreans. The war ended with a treaty and a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that exists even to today. In addition, it is the first war using integrated units (units were built disregarding colour of skin) of solders for the first time since President Truman orders Executive Order 9981.

1954: Operation Castle, Bravo
Castle Bravo was the largest "accidental" nuclear detonation of the United States performed in the Bikini Atoll in the Marshal Islands. Originally estimated to yield 5 megatons, the early morning test on March 6th, 1954, a minor calculation error concluded with a "didn't see that coming" 15 mt blast yield that spilled radioactive elements to as far as the West Coast US.

1961: AN602, "Tsar Bomba"
Have you ever wondered how to end the world? Well, the Soviets can show you a step-by-step procedure of how to do so. The Soviets dropped this monster on a test site in Novalya Zemla on October 30th, 1961. The crew members aboard the Tu-25 Bomber that dropped this thing weren't given full promises that they were coming back after this. The navigator gave a thumbs-up, the bombardier released the safety, and the pilots dipped real quick crossing their fingers that they weren't going to get knocked out of the sky. The bomb was even given a parachute to assist the pilots to escape in time. When it finally detonated, it had a blast yield equivalent to 50 mt, or all the explosives detonated in WW2 times ten. It's mushroom cloud soared to the top of the atmosphere, and blast shock waves felt three times around the world. It is responsible for about 25% of the radioactive elements found on earth (before Chernobyl). It is the largest man-made, nuclear explosion in the history of man-kind. Ironically, is the "cleanest" nuclear bomb ever detonated by any nation.

1969: Apollo 11
The US Space Program Apollo 11 landed the first humans on the Moon on July 20th, 1969. It marked a major achievement of space exploration and technological progress. As a memorial, the astronauts left the US flag and retro-reflector mirrors to prove that they were there on that historical day. However, there are countless conspiracy theories that exist that says the Eagle actually never went to the moon. Unfortunately, mankind has not returned to the Moon after Apollo 17.
That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." - Neil Armstrong

1975: Fall of Saigon
Thousands of civilians flood into US airbases to flee the fast approaching North Vietnamese Army to avoid being enslaved by them. This historic event marked the end of the Vietnamese War, and was one of the first global conflicts that America had lost to. On another note, thousands and millions of Vietnamese refugees were accepted into US land in exchange for the lose of their homeland. The capital city of South Vietnam was finally captured on April 30th, 1975, and Vietnam became reunited as one nation under Communism.

1977: Tenerife Airport Disaster
The Tenerife Airport Disaster took place on March 27th, 1977 on the Canary Islands just off the coast of Southern Morocco. Two Boeing 747's collided into each other on the runway, and caused the death of 583 people and 61 survivors. Since the Canary Island is Spanish territory, the Spanish government had to lead the investigations. It is the deadliest aviation accident in history.

1986: Challenger Space Shuttle Accident
On the morning of January 28th, 1986, the Challenger Space Shutlle lifted off only to explode 72 seconds later. An O-ring seal failed at lift-off, and caused a domino effect until the main orbiter housing five NASA astronauts and two Payload Specialist exploded, killing all seven crew members. About 17% of all Americans witnessed the launch live via television or being physically at the site. 

1986: Chernobyl Disaster
On 1:23 local time, Chernobyl reactor number 4 exploded into a massive fireball. Majority of the workers and engineers in the control room were killed immediately. Civilians living in the near-by city of Pripyat were given five minutes to grab personal belongings and evacuated immediately. The disaster spewed radioactive particles from Ukraine SSR to Belarus SSR within hours; many suffered from radiation poising and later developed Thyroid Cancer. This incident is categorized as the only Level 7 disaster until the Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear power Plant Disaster in 2011. There is a 20 km exclusion zone in place even till' today, and people wishing to go inside must get special permission from the Ukrainian Government. Within the exclusion zone, many affects of radiation exposure litter the abandoned wasteland, complete with entire forests of dead trees (the "Red Forest") and number of mutated wildlife roaming the ghost town of Pripyat. This is on my bucket list to go here before I die.

1989 - 1990: Operation Just Cause
In December of 1989, the US invades Panama to overthrow it's leader. Soldiers geared up an board rafts as the "Operation: Just Cause is a-go" transmission is broadcasted. Manuel Noriega was the de facto leader, general, and dictator of panama at the time from 1983. The US wanted to depose Noriega, and president elect Guillermo Endara who was pro-US, and eventually sign the Torrijos-Carter Treaty to hand over control of the Panama canal from the US to Panama. If you've played Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, you know what I'm talking about.

1990 - 1991: Operation Desert Storm
Iraq decides to invade its tiny neighboring nation of Kuwait to gain access to its' rich oil fields. The United nation steps in to stop the Iraqis from preventing further damage. The United States, United Kingdom, France, and even Germany (who just reunited after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the Dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991) all pitch in to push Hussein back to their borders. This war is the precursor to the 2nd Persian Gulf War, namely, the Afghanistan War.

1994: South African Presidential Campaign
Nelson Mandela becomes the first non-white head of state in the history of South Africa. He is the first president to take office after the fall of the Apartheid, and brought forth multicultural democracy. He served for one term (1994-1999) and is also the oldest person to become head-of-state in South Africa at the age of 75.

And then people say I should be a historian, like please. I can't even feed myself if I become a historian...

Gender (Servicewomen)

The number of women serving in the armed forces around the world has increased no doubt. The 2012 Demographics Report of the US Military covering all branches of the armed forces give great detail of the ratio of people serving the military. It is broken up to many factors, including age, race, rank, gender, service branch, and much more.

Many servicemen are remembered for their actions that have changed the course of combat, and/or have saved hundreds of lives during battles. Medals like the Purple Heart, Bronze Star, the Iron Cross, and more recognize the act of battlefield bravery and military leadership...

A growing number of female recipients of medals and decorations have grown since around the time of the Second World War. Not only men, but women too, can obtain these medals and recognition for their acts of extreme bravery and courage in times of battle. Many of them were awarded these medals and recognition in a time when servicewomen were unheard of...

Here is a small list of influential servicewomen from the Second World War recognized for their work during the bloodiest war in history. Take a moments to stop and think how it will be to fight during the Second World War (About 32,000 deaths per day), then consider the guts and anxiety to pull the trigger. Can you do the same? Take note that pulling that trigger will end someone's life. In a battlefield, it is your life or their's; one small mistake, and you're paying the price: with your life. These women surly deserve the rewards they received for the dedication to their country.  

Maj. Pavlichenko during her visit to the US and Canada in 1942.

 Maj. Lyudmila Pavlichenko

Lyunmila (or Liudmyla) Pavlichenko was a female Soviet sniper from the Second World War. At the age of 24, she volunteered to join the Red Army to fight the advancing Germans. She is one of the (approx.) 500 out of 2000 female snipers who survived the brutal fighting in the Eastern Front. She is credited with 309 kills, and is regarded as the most successful female sniper to date. On top of that, she was the first Soviet citizen welcomed by a US President (FDR).

T-34 396, nick named "The Fighting Girlfriend"

Maria Oktyabrskaya

Maria Oktyabrskaya (or the "fighting girlfriend") was a female tank pilot and mechanic from the Soviet Union. She learned that her husband was Killed in Action from the German advance, and gathered her possessions to donate a tank to the Red Army, under one condition: for her to pilot the tank. She then attended a five-month tank training program and was assigned to a (at the time, state of the art) T-34. After completion, she was sent to the south-western sector of the Soviet defense lines in Ukraine SSR. Amid fierce machine gun fire, she would repair her tank track every time they got blown up. Unfortunately, she was hit unconscious by sharpnel in January of 1944 during a night battle, and died a few weeks later due to her wounds. She was the first female awarded the Hero of The Soviet Union in recognition for her courageous and brave actions.

Jacqueline "Jackie" Cochran

Jacqueline Cochran is an American Aviation pioneer and is said to be one of the best aviation racing pilots of her generation. She is heavily involved in the creation of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP). When the US began their daylight/mid-day bombing raids over German in 1942, one of the problems was the shortages of male bomber pilots. Since a single B-17 (and later B-24's, 24's, and 29's) accommodate 10 crew members, losing a single bomber meant losing 10 men, and given the bitter German air defenses at the time, losing an entire bomber squadron of about 20 - 30 bombers (200-300 crew members) was common. Cochran proposed the idea of using female pilots to deliver domestic, non-combat operations (ferrying/transport) in order to allow more male pilots to go to the front. As the director of the WASP program, she trained hundreds of female pilots during the duration of the war. She was later awarded the Distinguished Service Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Nancy Love at the cockpit of a B-17 nicknamed "Queen Bee"

Lt. Col Nancy Harkness Love

Nancy H. Love was an American test pilot and US Air Force Officer (post-WW2, since the Air Force was still a branch of the US Army at the time.).  She taught women, and even men, to fly military aircraft for ferrying (transport) service during the Second World War, and even commanded multiple of her own all-women ferrying units in the WASP.  Lt. Col. Love and her WASP units basically mastered all most every aircraft the Army Air Force had in their possession at the time. She was certified to fly at least 15 military aircrafts, including the Douglas C-54 Skymaster, American B-25 Mitchell, North American P-51, and became the first women to pilot a Boeing B-17 Heavy Bomber along sides with Betty Gillies.

Gender (lol moments)

Have you ever thought of what you do maybe strongly impacted on your gender? In fact, the activities and actions that everyone take are decided heavily by your gender. Why does our society divide these roles into gender? Where did it come from? Does it have to be for a specific gender, or maybe both? Why does some roles cause different reactions when done by the opposite sex? (Why? Why? Tell'em its just human nature~)
