Something to Think About
For every girl who is tired of being weak when she is strong, there is a boy tired of appearing strong when he is vulnerable. For every boy who is burdened with the constant expectation of knowing everything, there is a girl who is tired of people not trusting her intelligence. For every girl who is tired of being called over-sensitive, there is a boy who fears to be gentile, to weep. For every boy whose competition is the only way to prove his masculinity, there is a girl who is called unfeminine when she competes. For every girl who throws out her e-z-bake oven, there is a boy who wishes to find one. For every boy struggling not to let advertising dictate his desires, there is a girl facing the ad industry's attacks on her self-esteem. For every girl who takes a step toward her liberation, there is a boy who finds the way to freedom a little bit easier.
