A vicious circle - The gender equation

Some males from Indian cultural backgrounds (patriarchal society) have a high set of expectations from female friends as compared to male friends, which creates a vicious circle of unmet expectations leading to gender bias in friendships giving a lower competitive advantage to females.

If you are a female and you never seem to understand why your male friend suddenly starts showing arrogance, then it might be because you don't fit in their ideal female persona devised by society. So, don't worry! Maybe you can help them understand their implicit behavior or just move on with your life, depending on your likeness to maintain that friendship. 

(some expectations include but not limited to caring, nurturing, tidy, gullible) 

Note: This is limited to exposure to experiences with men of certain demographics.

Systems

Hmm! I am currently in the phase of my life where I am seriously considering seeking job opportunities, i.e I am voluntarily opting for shaping my individual identity according to the framework/model of a given organization and emerging with a professional identity...

This whole social structure seems fascinating to me!

Changing the way of living

"Go with the flow" is an ideology that I follow and is what my dominant persona radiates. It implies switching or changing the gear of your life based on the next big opportunity you see or perceive. But, the time comes when rapidly switching gears may cause you to not being able to establish an identity at all, and so stopping to reflect on life and maybe changing the ideology is the right thing to do! Once in awhile, we need to experience the world as it is and not what we want it to be! 

(There's always a but! I am not very fond of buts but I like butts!)

Distributed souls

Our soul is not an individual entity. It can be unraveled only by the understanding of the fusion of our social relationships.

Opinions

"Oh, man! This guy/girl is a stickler!"
I am sure you have said this statement (maybe in some other language) at least once in your life. Many times, we meet people with opinions and sometimes people with strong opinions, and in some ways, these people shape our opinions. But all this while, just make sure that you are not surrounded by people who only further your opinions. A little bit of mix and match is good for life, helps us understand the big picture, and informs our life decisions.
