Bill Bur and Standards

One person in our class wrote a blog entry on Bill Burr and the gender standards that our society enforces. For instance, men cannot hit women, but women can hit men. Apparently we can get away with property destruction too. The gap is even larger with foreign students I think. It's really nice in a way, but it's also really funny. I don't care if any of the "traditions" stick and hence I mean to make fun of them, but I don't want any one to think I'm making fun of what are just viewed as nice things guys do for girls. If intentions are in the right place, it's cool. No harm, no foul. It doesn't mean that some of the situations aren't funny though because the motions are becoming archaic in our society.
For instance, I think I could hold open a door all day for one of my European or Asian male friends and they would stand outside all day long if I didn't go in first. And vice versa: they won't go in when they're holding the door until I do. As a matter of fact I've had an entire mob of European guys just halt behind me like I was an army captain or something when I stopped to get some gum from my pocket before I went in the door to the gym.
I also mentioned playing soccer in my comments to the previous person who wrote on this subject. You would swear they killed your dog by how profusely they apologize after they barely graze your leg trying to get the ball in a game.
Then there are somethings that are downright annoying, not nice yet archaic traditions like, "Wow, she's good for a girl." Do we really need the prepositional phrase on the end?

p.s. Wear gym shorts constantly and call them dude on occassion. It'll freak them out. Then go find a nice phonebooth (like the one in Brown's poetry this week) and laugh.
