Gender and stereotypes

It's really hard to give my opinion about this kind of topic. I don't really have good English to express all my ideas, but! This is a good try:

I'm absolutely convinced that women and men are equal. Of course, our bodies are different, but our capacities to think or our strength are equal. For example, I have seen many school classmates with really better marks on maths (and many people say that mathematics is "masculine" science) or many women who have beaten me in football (and everyone says that men are better in sports).

Where is the reason for all this? 

I must admit that I am not sure of the "only truth" about this problem, but I think that a big part of the problem is education. When we were kids, learned us many wrongs stereotypes about what it is like for boys and what it is for girls. The boys are forced to play sports, fight and aspire to be a policemans or politicians (powerful professions). The girls are forced to learn about home activities and aspire to be a housewifes or nurses (support professions). 

I trink that if this changes, this problem would be less than today's.

Oh nourriture délicieuse

As in other post I have already mentioned, I really like cousine. I think it's one of my favorite things. I like cook and eat , the two sides of a beatiful job. I like cousine because eating is one of the few pleasures that are necessary to live. If you don't eat you can't stay alive. Also it's a good way to assist on your home (if you live with someone else) and keep your body health.  I started liking the kitchen when I started my current relationship. I was left alone with her and we needed to eat something (more than just fast food). I suddenly realized that I knew more than others partners. I cook four or five times a week, but I think it's once a month where I'm really dedicated to learning and mastering a recipe (Ok, that's sounds really professional, but It's like: "Today I'm going to lear to do my own pasta") In the future I intend to open a restaurant. In the summers I work in restaurants to learn more and have some exper...

Biography (or a try)

I was born in Santiago in 1997, 13th May. I´m a "normal" (hetero-cis-happy-healthy) child, who likes p laying with dirt, riding a bike and the like.  (Nothing about reading something gloomy or staying in the shadows looking at the other kids playing) I went to a little school near to my house. When I moved to a new house, I went to other little school too. Where? Ñuñoa (ulala posh boy!) I t was there where I finished my high school studies. I don´t really want to tell you about my school days in depth because I hated going to school. I've lived with my mum all of my life. I used to live with my grandmother for the first 10 years. After that, She went to live in the south (and I started visiting her every summer). My hobbies are divided into 4 subjects: music, literature, sport and cuisine. I play the guitar and I listen to a lot of music. I cook my own food. I read some books and I try to go once or twice a week to the park and do some work out.
