Like seriously. Yes, I'm a guy. Sexuality yet to be determined. Too liberal, I don't care if I'm gay or straight, as long as I love the other person and the other person could reciprocate my love, be it a girl or a dude.
Dancing is always associated with 'effeminate' guys. Cheer-leading is for girls only? At least that's what Asians think. Same goes to ballet. I always associate those 2 form of art with girls until I am in my 20's. The late Jon-Erik Hexum was a cheerleader, and very masculine, very macho. Most male ballet dancer are muscular, not 'soft', considering the fact that they need to be strong to lift their dance partner. Another sexy flamenco dancer, (yes, one would associate flamenco with frilly dresses or pink flamingo...) ummm, the one in Samsonite advert... ah, yes! Joaquin Cortes.
However, when I asked my guy friends would they like to join me for a Zumba session, the answer was, NO! DUDE!. I'm a guy. So up till now, I haven't enroll myself into a dance class. Well, almost, if the studio allow male students to join the Flamenco class. Again, gender bias. Women have been complaining about sexism*, well it's time for men.
In the end, I downloaded a video for home dance session. Yes, I like dancing. I even surprised my colleague back in medical school. Nobody expect me to dance in front of a hall full of people. Pudgy, but still, I like to dance. Imagine an elephant in a tutu. That's how I look, or at least how it looks like in my distorted self loathing mind.
The possibility of dancing at home? That's why I love my DVD player. I don't have to squint to look at the laptop screen, 3 metres away.
*sexism? well, it's not only applicable if women are marginalized by men, or vice versa, I think sexism happens when a straight men/women marginalized the transsexual, gay or lesbian.
