As much as I hate male chauvinism, I hate female chauvinism too And as a girl I have to deal with girls around me who just say stupid words like "men are pigs, men have no feelings (...)" etc. I never had this problem guys, I never lived this stereotypes. As a kid I climbed on trees, I played lego and when I was like 5-6 years old I didn't wanna be a ballet dancer, princess or something like this, but I wanted to be a Paleontologist. I knew how anaerobic bacteria became aerobic. Then I went to school and was like "WOAH!?". I met them. I met girls! Those weird creatures in pink leggins who thought they're the center of the world, who always had good grades, who never fought, never got dirty in mud, never played football... I mean I was raised near a forest, far away from other people, just my parents and my younger sister, I wasn't even baptised (thanks to them!) it was a weird world I got into. And I just got more male friends than female. With the time I met some great girls with whom I could talk and who were more like me... in high school I had 3 best friends, 2 girls and one guy. And with this guy I could just talk about everything, football, boobs, girls, I helped sometimes with his relationship (I really like his GF, she's just pure cuteness). And yes, male-female friendship can work. Now I'm playing in a metal band so I'm surrounded just by guys, but it's pretty fine for me. One of them is my dear BF and those others are great friends. Sadly, in the band we (the three of us who grounded Helroth) played before there were sometimes chauvinist jokes - very primitive btw., I really hated. But I'm happy not to see those people anymore
