My dad says I'm not manly enough?
I'm the youngest of two, my dad always called my brother "dragon" while he called me "princess" or "beta". As a kid I had to take up soccer and boxing over the activities I wanted to do (art and writing) because of him, I still succeeded in soccer and boxing though. My brother is apparently the most manly man ever according to my father, my brother is in his 20s and I'm in my late teens where he lives on our parent's couch, is single, with no job and I live in my own place while working and studying, with a girlfriend. My dad still tries to put me down for no reason, also because unlike my father and brother I can understand why someone would be upset by their actions like when they do stupid stuff in public and get told off they make out it's the other person's problems not them f*cking stuff up. I'm not sensitive yet I can sympathise and show emotion over things (like I don't cry like a puss yet I understand) which my dad sees as being womanly. I'm not sure of what to do since I'm getting so sick of him trying to make out I'm a weakling, I just want to punch him in the face.
How to make my son more manly?
Try and get him into physical sports. I'm 20 and i've done boxing, running, weightlifting and football and feel quite masculine. Having said that i'm trying to learn how to play the piano now. He sounds like an ok guy but try and get him interested because the world isn't nice.
Why are my brothers & dad so sexist?
hi, my name is brandy. Long story short, I grew up in a very manly, masculine home with three men and my mom. growing up, I would always play games with my brothers and I always go outside and and such, but now that I'm getting older my brothers and my dad are telling me to "step up to the plate" and start cleaning and cooking for them. don't get me wrong, I have no problem with that, but it almost came on the wrong the other day… so, I just got home from school and my dad was sitting on the couch. He said, " I want to talk to you, brandy." so, I went and directed my dad so he can have a conversation with me. I said "yes?" he told me, "when are you going to step up to the plate and become the woman of the house? Your mom, your brothers and i work far too much. I understand that you were still Young and all, but why are you so addicted to your phone when you could be fixing up with a plate of supper for your daddy?" I don't know what it was, but I didn't take it as a compliment or as a request. I took it as a demand. I felt sort of downgraded from a man. Growing up I always ask my mom to diss me up a plate. But I didn't know was going to feel so downgraded at the same time? now that I'm getting older, I'm demanded to do the dishes, wash clothes, make dinner, fold clothes, do every single house chore there is and that you could think of. how do I feel better about myself, and how do I talk to my dad about it without having him feel so disappointed in me?
Is it weird I want to marry someone like my brother?
People would say marry your father, but my father isn't the man I would want to marry. He's never positive about anything, always yells, angry, and never wanted to lighten up. My brother is only 4 years young than me, but much bigger and taller than me and my sister. Most of my friends would think he's our older brother because of how manly he looks. Aka, my siblings and I are very close we're all best friends. Anyways. He's very driven with his goals, good kid in school, full ride athlete to D1 college, polite, and he has his way of showing his family his love for us. We have a ton in common such as music, sports, comedy, movies, and other entertainments. We're very protective of each other. We never admit it, but I know it. I'm protective of him when it comes to girls desperately wanting to date him & I make sure he's still focused on the important things and he's more protective when it comes to me answering doors to strangers or guys randomly coming up talking to me. I just want ask if that weird if I tell people I want to find a man that is like my brother, not my father; if the subject ever pops up?
Why does my dad prefer my more masculine brother over my other brother who isn't very stereotypically guy like?
I believe you just answered your own question.Sorry to brake the news to you.Just think about what you just ask, and you will find your answer.Gezzz… Now i sound like yoda
How can a transgender man best sound like a man?
I want to say something about this. I sang a lot in high school and college. In high school the choral director had me singing baritone (1st base). In college I went and tried out. The choral director was thrilled to find he had a "full blown first tenor" in me. He said that the director in high school took the easy way out probably because he didn't have the time to work with me. I could sing alto as well when I was in practice. My ex wife of many years was a soprano and her speaking voice was high and squeeky in high school. She had voice lessons to help her have a normal speaking voice and hers wasn't all that different from mine in day to day speakingSo my speaking voice is whatever I make it be. A female sounding voice is different in other ways than just range. And then there is Donald Duck's voice. I can't do that as well.I suspect some voice lessons would suffice for most people, especially to change gender based intonation patterns. I can't get anywhere near James Earl Jones and his rich rumble. I have a huge chest and lungs, I can fill a hall but I just can't get anywhere near his low tones.
Do siblings sound alike?
May be, may not be. Each child takes 23 chromosomes from each of parents. There are thousands of combinations. The 23rd chromosome of father decides sex of the baby. And you can see how many differences are there between male and female. Now, think of other 45 chromosomes.
Dad wants me to be more masculine.?
Just so you know both my parents said this to me but my dad has been saying this kind of stuff for awhile, my mom just said it a couple days ago. The whole sports thing was big on their minds. Why do I have to play sports to prove my maculinity? I can show other ways. I think my dad wants to me to be like him since he did play soccer as a child and my older brother also didn't play sports. Things is I never want to be like my father, for reasons I'd rather not say(he's not physically abusive or anything, but some of the stuff he says...) My mom told me to watch more sports so I'd have more things incommon with the other guys but, like I said earlier, most guys don't talk about sports; they talk about the media, politics, school, etc.(at least most of the guys I know). I just don't like sports the way they her and my father do. She said it would help me make more guy friends; she said I hang around girls too much. She doesn't know everyone I hangout with and so I have 1 more girl friend
Why would my dad do this?
When I tried to get ready for bed just now, I opened my drawer to find all of my pajamas gone. (Im fourteen and only live with my dad and older brother.) I figured my dad had something to do with it. I asked him why he did this, and he just said that I've outgrown wearing pajamas and a pair of underwear would do for now until Im comfortable enough to sleep naked.after I thought about it, I realized that my older brother stopped wearing clothes too around this age. But why does it matter? It's always hot here, so it's not like I'll freeze at night, but still. Is it bad for my balls or something to wear pajamas or do most guys just sleep naked?
I have heard that, genetically, a son will be similar to his mother's father while a daughter will be similar to her father's mother. What happens, if two sons or two daughters are born?
In terms of our current understanding of genetics I'd say it's not true and I haven't heard of any credible scientific claim to support your belief.Taking your son as an example, he will bear approximately 25% DNA from each of his grandparents. Other than the Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA there is no mechanism to my knowledge in which genetic material is preferentially transferred through a specific grandparent. I am not aware that traits particularly visible to the eye such as facial characteristics, other than gender itself, are reliably passed down a given lineage.His Y chromosome (which causes him to be male) will come through the paternal line, from his father and his father's father. This also means his X chromosome will have come from you. However, since you had two X chromosomes the one you passed on could have come from either of your parents. It is more complicated than this as pairs of chromosomes swap information during meisosis (making of sperm and egg) so he won't have inherited one of your X chromosome intact it will be a mosaic of both of your X chromosomes. His mitocohondrial DNA will have come through the maternal line, from his mother and his mother's mother. Mitochondrial DNA doesn't do much that you would be interested in. Other than these specific cases his DNA should be an even split, 50% of yours and 50% of his father's. Also 25% of each of his grandparents (since you and your partner would have inherited 50% from each of your parents and are passing on half of that to your son).Another answer talked about dominant genes. I would say that for any given gene, each grandparent is equally likely to provide a dominant, recessive, codominant or other gene. I gather you probably weren't looking for such a technical answer but it does come down to the mechanisms for DNA inheritance as it as DNA is largely responsible for physical features**we could go into DNA/protein methylation states, miRNA and so on but let's save that for another time.
