when they asked him what a “boyish manner” was, I could see him question every gender norm he’d ever been placed under

Every single one of them hesitated on the question "are you a feminist?" Because people have forgotten what the definition of the word is, and they now confuse it with misandry.

"Humans have emotions." Is the best response for "you're too emotional~"

You can see the gears turning as they try to rationalize their question/their feelings about reacting. It's exactly what women experience. The idea that there's a "right" thing to say is false, and this is what men don't get to see because they aren't in that position and don't try to empathize with it. Great video.

I hate being asked why I look so serious- It’s just my face! I especially hate when they then tell me to smile or say I should smile more

“Why are you so emotional?” “Umm you know all human beings have emotions?” I’M DYING

the boy with purple tie was clearly so uncomfortable but kept answering all by smiling and being positive/honest about his style and mannerisms and it was quite interesting to see but also quite relatable to some extend, being nervous and uncomfortable but still trying to stand up for yourself (for reference I'm a trans man so I grew up hearing these a lot "as a girl") that was a very intriguing experiment

ENFP boy was precious!😭
"I would discuss with my spouse and if my spouse makes more money than me then I will take more care of house chores and parenting."
Finally someone understands that the goal is to make sure someone is at work making money and another is available to raise the children not trying to conform to what society deems as a 'normal' family life.

you know what’s a horrible feeling? Being asked these questions by grown men twice your age and still feeling the need to laugh it off politely rather than put them in their place🙃

Now let's bring in the parents and have them answer frequently asked questions by parents to their kids that are mentally damaging!

Hearing these questions being asked as a girl made me so uncomfy because of the fact that I often hear them in my everyday life and am expected to answer politely or to just brush them off. The sad thing is that you could see on some of the boys that they felt uncomfortable hearing some of them too... Words really are powerful and I do not stand behind people who throw awful comments at others without thinking about how it could impact them first. Everybody is secretly going through something, so back-handed comments like these only make it worse.

“Yeah  this doesn’t look good but hey you should look at yours first looks way worse”

THIS GOT ME WEEZING 😭🤚🏼

“yeah, I agree my outfit looks bad. But yours is worse”
best line from this whole vid lmao

I got unreasonably happy when the one boy said he would talk with his spouse and if they made more than him he would take care of the house and child.  Someone is raising that boy very well.

“I wore base makeup today.”  Yes honey.  
“Well, humans have emotions.”  Indeed.
“Well, I’m ENFP, so I suppose that makes me emotional?”  I felt this in my soul.

5:26 this guy is so verbally good at explaining, idk. At this part as well, I feel so uplifted and my self-esteem increased a bit. These days I’ve started gaining weight more frequently and I just really want to get skinner. I’m not confident in my body and the way I look because everywhere I look, I always see women or people skinner and prettier than me and I just think…why can’t I be like that? But, in the end of the day, I should love who I am

3:08 this was adorable, the way he just completely ignored gender roles and went with what would make more sense for him is awesome. the complete lack of hesitation when he said he would be ok with staying home to take care of the child was really admirable in my opinion.

"Yeah, my outfit does look bad, but yours is worse"
Fucking legend

Interesting how they’re basically talking back to the interviewer for asking these questions, but if a woman talked back to a man who asked her these questions, she’d be labelled as “rude,” “un-feminine,” “doesn’t know any manners,” etc.. It goes to show that even if a woman tries to defend herself, no man would take her seriously. These boys keep bringing up “should it be different for boys and girls then?” as a response to the interviewer, but watch what happens if a woman says that. Good video!

1:35 was such good response to stand up to yourself while still being polite, I think he handled that incredibly well
