Whenever I think of little boys playing or what boys did as kids I don't think of anything exciting or fun just because of how much gender policing there was on us.

It wasn't till I was a junior in high school that I actually stopped caring about what people think but that only happened once and it's getting harder as an adult just because the police does not stop.

Either you're too manly or not manly for this that or the other and it's to the point where I don't like interacting with anybody anymore.
