What does it mean to be a boy or a girl?

What does it mean to be a boy or a girl?

What does the phase "you throw like a girl" even mean?

And why is it a girl can't do the same things a boy can do?

Why is pink deem a girly color and blue is meant for a baby boy?

Why do girls play with dolls and boys play with "action figures"

when both are consider just toys?

Why is sports consider a boy thing and dancing a girl thing?

 

What does it mean to be a girl or a boy?

Why can't the girl be the hero of the story instead of being a danzel in distress?

Why can't a boy be the stay home take care of the children kinda boy?

Why can't a girl earn more money than a boy?

Why do boys have to be "the one who wears the pants in the house"?

Why are girls are called a slut for giving their virginity to that one boy

and the boy is praise for the number of girls he can get?

 

Why do we have stereotypic view of what should a girl do

and what should a boy do in society?

Why do we draw a line to separate who we are?

If a girl want to play football, we should like let her tackle the field.

If a boy want to dance ballet, we should go to his recitals.

Why can't we all be consider equal in everything we do?

 

Maybe it can start with you, stepping into someone else's shoes.

If boys did what was consider girly things

and girl did what was consider manly things,

then maybe we can live in a generless stereotypic society, 

because girls you are handsome and boys you are beautiful.

So what does it mean to be a boy or a girl to you?
