I(18m) still sleep with my stuffed shark every night. My girlfriend(18) didn’t find out until I fell sick and had to skill classes. She came to check up on me and saw me went to bed with a stuffed animal.
She freaked out, saying it’s not masculine and I shouldn’t sleep with stuffed toy anymore. My gf said it’s embarrassing. She waited until I was asleep and took the thing from me. When I woke up, I told her she was being controlling and she got really upset. Am I the asshole?
Nope. When someone tries to enforce their gender stereotypes on you they are expecting you to conform to what they think is acceptable.
If you told her speaking out and telling a man what to do isn’t very feminine would you expect them to follow that restriction. Absolutely fucking not.
