So IHM started this brilliant tag and I was tagged by Monika in this one. To complete the tag IHM says-
If You Are a Man-
Have you ever wanted something that only women are supposed to want – like bags, shoes, clothes, creams, perfumes, babies, flowers? A peaceful home and a happy family? Have you ever been afraid of the dark or of insects?
As a kid did you ever want to play ‘teacher-teacher’, cooking or did you like playing with a doll? Have you ever enjoyed cooking? Bought something in pink? Loved chocolates?
So here’s a tag – Please list at least ten things you have ever wanted or done which your gender is not supposed to.
As the readers of the blog would already know, I am not the kinds who could be stereotyped as feminist’s delight. Somehow my feminists friends do not get very thrilled by my radical ideas of gender equality so I believe in the bias. People who are deciding to blast me right away, have taken out their knifes and shovels out may keep then inside; remember chivalry is also a kind of chauvinism and somehow women around me love it. And I don’t mind doing it for people around me for whom I care. Coming back to the tag I thought it might be difficult for me complete the tag. But there is no harm in trying so here goes my list
I have a strong liking for Sunglasses, I have 6 pair of glasses currently as a part of my wardrobe
I have a again a huge collections of fragrances which I love to use, and I cannot decide amongst my favorites perfumes from UCB, CK, Azzaro, Burberry, Davidoff, and Ralph Lauren so I have them all
I simply love chocolate. I have a craving for chocolate and I need to have a chocolate dessert then
I love to read.
I like watching Sitcoms and Romantic Comedy Movies
One of real life role models is Carly Fiorina who is a woman
I Enjoy Shopping
I like buying shoes, though I don’t have one matching every dress but I do enjoy shoe shopping
I use a sunscreenin summers
I freak out over my weight increases beyond two Kgs, though I might not do anything about it but I would be generally bothered about it
Now comes the tough part, finding bloggers who haven’t done this tags. I can think of only two bloggers who haven’t taken this one, so Reema & Deepti you are tagged

@Chatterbox: well I guess thats what how other genders observe stereotypes despite them being common between them
You are invited to join SAGS (Sinners Against Gender Stereotypes) on facebook and to share the link to this post with other sinners – who might find solace from reading about other sinners
Loved reading your take on the tag – fragrance and reading make us fellows in sin
The tag is about being yourself and not letting any stereotypes being forced down your throat
Like Liberal Cynic said, I am me first. Then a man. Then my parents’ son. Then an Indian. Then a Tamilian…and so on. “
@IHM: Thanks for understanding
Hey I like Davidoff too. How sinful
@Meira: I love Davidoff but recently I have started preferring Azarro Chrome over it…Both of them have a similar fragrance but Azarro is longer lasting.
Sho shweet!!! You like shopping and sitcomes/romantic movies? How sweet is that!!
@Pallavi: On yes I do…. Notting hill, Jerry Maguire, When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle are few of my favorites
