Equal Rights
February 1, 2023
Unicorns, rainbows, pink,
I think is what is expected for a girl to like,
Dinosaurs, destruction, blue,
I think is what is expected for a boy to like,
A girl should have manners and curtsy every now and then,
But, again, a boy should stomp ‘round in the mud.
What if a girl wishes to bathe in mud?
What if a boy wishes to wallow in unicorns?
For I am a girl and I know not what I wish, but what I expect.

Everything is said to be equal among men and woman but every so often a girl will be treated lesser than a boy. I've noticed this in a bunch of different places, but one was in schools. A lot of the times I see that boys get better treatment in sports than girls do. Boys get a bus for their away games and better practice times and conditions. Girls, however, don't have a bus for their away games even though games are usually on separate dates from the boys games. Girls need to get a ride from someone usually for their away games and that makes a lot of the girls unable to go to their games because they can't find a ride like the boys who have a bus.
