Flipping Sexes

Lately I have been watching reruns of sex and the city. On one episode it talked about ones sex and really brought up how gender roles play a huge part of our everyday lives. The episode was called "boy girl boy girl" and it raised the question if flipping ones sex was the wave of the future. In the episode you have Charlotte who is the more Conservative character hosting an art exhibit which is showing photos of "Drag Kings". Drag kings would be women who dress up as men facial hair and everything. To cut to the chase the artist had Charlotte pose for him dressed as a business man. It seemed like the minute she put the sock in her pants she instantly became more aggressive and her sex drive went through the roof. It was like she got an instant shot of testosterone she could not resist the photographer and had to have him as soon as possible. It was like she had been instantly freed from all of the constraints of being a women. This made me realize how in many ways men are a lot more free to act aggressive or be promiscuous. I wish it was that easy to see how it is to be the other sex, I have always been curious on what it would be like to be a man. Not so much the anatomy of a man but the way society treats you and what is expected of you in general. To have sayings like "boys will be boys" cover my crazy actions it seems like a weight would be lifted off of my shoulders. This episode really made me stop and think which made me love the show even more.
