Manly actresses thread

So I saw that thread "which actress is the most manly/masculine", and I wanted to post my thoughts on it, but it got locked so I am opening a new thread.

A few years ago, I used to find a few actresses like Kareena very manly and lacking any feminine grace and features and I used to mock her for it. But over the years I realized how wrong I was and how narrow minded I was for expecting women to only exhibit feminine behaviour and men only to exhibit masculine behaviour.

We are all wired in different ways and it is not necessary that we have to conform to gender roles, with respect to their behaviours and traits. Doing that will only put people through undue pressure to conform to certain expected behaviours, which would mean as a society we are encouraging people not to be their true selves.

So I needed to put this out to make my stand clear, and I also am retracting my earlier comments which were in poor taste.

you were not wrong, if a female has masculine features, she has masculine features. Doesn't mean, she is any less women. And vice versa, if a male is feminine. You finding them masculine or feminine looking, didn't made you wrong or bad, it is just that you felt it, as you saw it.

While we shouldn't mock(although we do), and that is wrong, but feeling someone looks masculine or feminine isn't wrong, aab lagta hai toh lagta hai, ushme naa uski galti hai, naa tumhari. It is just that we shouldn't belittle.

Also there is.nothing wrong in mocking Kareena, you should br awarded for that.

Feeling someone looks masculine or feminine is ok, but when their characteristics don't match with their gender (defined by society) is when people start mocking. I am also guilty of doing the same.

But as I am growing older I am realizing how petty I have been with my criticism of people over something they can't help.

I will still continue to criticize Kareena for her bitchiness, arrogance and lack of merit. But I will not mock her for something she isn't responsible for.

Guys if a thread is locked and a DT note is posted, that means that it was against rules. Opening another topic to discuss that same thing is also against rules.

Please note that discussing physical features to comment on who is manly and who is not is considered demeaning and does nothing but incite issues. Thus it was closed and now this topic is also being closed for the same reason.
