----Because I am a girl---
It does not mean that
I am
different from him,
I am
incapable,
I cannot do
well in school,
I cannot
decide on my own,
I cannot
lead,
You should
choose a partner for me,
You should
get me married before I am ready,
You should
lay with me to employ me,
You should
abuse me in any way.
I also wish to
finish school and get employed
I also wish to
finish school and open my own company
I want to
marry the partner of my choice when I am ready
I want to
get on that position because of my skills not because I slept with him
I want to buy
a car and a house of my own
I want to be
the change maker in this world
----Because I am a girl---
----Stop looking down on girls------
