Embarrassing Moment

The embarrassing moment I'm about to describe right meoh happened approximately three and one half years ago. During this time period, I was hanging out in a trio - Harpo (Taylor), Sal, and me. We spent every morning before school, every afternoon after school, every night before bed, and every weekend all day and all night together. Now, Harpo is a girl so if she had been at Sal's house with me during this particular moment, it probably would not have been nearly as embarrassing. So what happened was...Sal, Max, and I arrived at Sal's house and we were hanging out in the living room. For some reason Sal and I started fake boxing, not actually hitting each other. I was jumping around from foot to foot, lots of spring in my step and excitement on my face when all of a sudden....POIAT!!!!! I farted!!!! I turned red immediately and Sal suddenly said, "Oh my god did you just fart?!?!" There was no denying it because it was loud and clear and no one else could have done it, so I just didn't say anything and grew increasingly redder. Sal and Max erupted in laughter and gave me a hard time, which was fun. Obviously they didn't care at all, weren't grossed out, and just thought it was hysterical, but I still could not help but feel embarrassed. I know this is because of gender role in society because boys are taught to think that girls don't fart or poop or barf or do anything gross. Because of this, girls feel so obligated to keep their bodily functions an absolute secret though we all know that EVERYONE FARTS, POOPS, BARFS, SHARTS, PEES, PICKS THEIR NOSE, ETC. I think it's just a fear that girls have of being rejected or repelled by men for doing something that is out of the "ordinary" or out of their gender role.
