Tem gente
que não entende
que não enxerga
com o coração
que não escuta
a trilha do dia
e que não cria
expectativas
Tem gente que não vive
as entrelinhas da vida.
Mas tudo bem
deixa que eu me assisto.
E me divirto
em cada esquina minha
Com cada um
dos meus segredos.
Julia Duarte.
Some interesting info: This is very reminiscent of the Baby X experiments, in which it was discovered that people reacted differently to a baby’s behavior depending on whether or not they believed the baby to be male or female. People were asked to watch a video of a baby reacting to a startling image (a Jack-in-the-box popping up), and describe the baby’s emotional state. When people believed the baby to be female, they described the baby as being scared and upset; when they thought the baby was male, they perceived the baby to be angry. This was very telling, as it showed that literally identical behavior could be construed differently based on the perceived gender of the subject.
