She's a she...she's a she-she... She’s a he… she’s a he-she!

It’s my opinion that when you look at someone, you should be able to immediately discern what gender that person is. If you can’t tell, there’s a problem there that needs to be rectified. This shouldn’t be a gray area. You shouldn’t have to double take, squint your eyes, and try to figure out whether it’s a man or a woman.

It seems our world is getting more and more confused about gender. We immasculate men, tell them it’s okay to wear eye-liner and girl’s pants. We tell women to toughen up and not be so feminine. And while I’m not going to be too harsh on guys who choose to wear pink shirts, it’s just not my thing. I think men should be men, and women should be women: they should dress and act accordingly. No more women with boy haircuts, no more men wearing make-up.

We used to make movies that made light of things like this, like Tootsie and It’s Pat, and now it’s just ordinary.

And as a side tangent about the whole “World’s First Pregnant Man” story: The headline should read “World’s First Pregnant Woman-Who-Thinks-She-Is-A-Man.” Just because she cut her hair short, takes testosterone, cut off her breasts, grew facial hair and arm pit hair, and changed her name does NOT make her a man. I’m sorry, but the whole story is bogus and unimpressive. And that’s an entirely different can of worms.
