NOT YOUR CINDERELLA

REBELLIOUS SOUL

 

 

You ask a girl to behave.

You scold her for wearing a short dress.

You taunt her for laughing a little too freely,

for daring to live a little carefree.

But have you ever asked a boy to keep his eyes straight?

Or told him not to treat women like public property —

and to accept her as a human?

Have you ever asked him to let her be?

to leave her alone,

to respect her space?

Why don't you teach him to cheer and encourage when a girl succeeds —

Instead of whistling when she walks down the street?

You say we can't do anything on our own.

Let me open your eyes:

We are ten times happier and more successful

without you — or any boy.

And honey, FYI:

Not every Cinderella needs a Prince Charming to save her.

    Here here. As a male I believe in women and men, each with equal rights and equal responsibilities but we can not deny the biological differences and with them come psychological differences. Viva la diference ! Great write
