"He-man" image too strongly endorsed? Can we be open-minded like women?

From as far as I know, Malaysia is a Muslim, multiracial and multicultural country. That means Malaysians have to be tolerant to live in peace. Don't they have to be open-minded?

Ah. But sometimes the thoughts and views of a particular thing stem from religon. So, your argument does not really work.

I have seen girls who hate pink and guys who like pink. It's perfectly fine. Afterall, since when is [insert colour here] is a [insert gender here] colour?

Does an American dollar have any value by itself? It's just a piece of paper. But human beings are funny. We like to put labels on things. People who aren't open-minded label pink, yellow, etc as a girl color. So the problem is people.

Gender is obsolete. Who needs it?

I sure don't.

Generalizing is the root of prejudice, though. It's grouping a bunch of people under one description, and that causes all sorts of problems.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and hope that you didn't truly mean that you think all men are this way and that you were caught up in the moment, but admitedly it's really disconcerting to see something like that.

Actually if you see what he's saying.. about dudes who like to wear pink and yellow then you wouldn't even be thinking that he means EVERYONE. Because he doesn't.

I was about to post something lengthy and probably an intellectual contribution .. until I noticed the other posts and rapidly lost interest.

TL;DR​

lulz.
Gender roles are mostly determined by society and culture, and a significant amount influenced by genetics (e.g attraction, hormones, ability to nuture, muscle mass etc etc).

Oh, [random kanji]? What did you mean by western point of view?

Well firstly, the kanji is not random...

Um, I meant what I said... If it helps, Western culture is that of North America, most of Australasia, and western Europe.

Yes but I don't the kanji so I just said random kanji. No intention to offend. c;

What I mean is why did you say it was a westernized view?
