Dear Journal.
Why can’t a woman be like a man? Why aren’t we treated the
same? Today I went and played a 20 over match with the boys and one of the
teachers scolded me. She said: “You are a girl no? Why are you dancing around
with the boys? Go and play with your girl friends. Isn’t this unfair journal
how come I have to play around with a doll who keeps on changing clothes while
the boys get to hit a ball around and have an awesome time in the grounds? The
teachers at my school call me a tomboy; they even dislike me because I never
wear the skirt and the shirt but instead wear the P.E shorts everyday to
school. I actually don’t care if they call me a Tom or a Jerry boy (BTW I think
the teachers watch the Tom and Jerry show). Some call me a strong headed
feminist (A woman fighter for women’s rights) and I think they are damn right.
Why the f**** (Ops sorry I heard a boy saying that word at school what does
that mean?) do they want me to bow down to the men and wait they are humans and
so am I – I always have been and hope I always will be. I even heard the bigger boys laugh at the
idea of having women’s cricket team seriously journal isn’t it bad enough being
a women but also being laughed at that’s sh*t. We are the ones who have tummy
aches once a month for a week (my cousin sister told me that) and there is more
pain when you are pregnant (with the injection and the weather balloon and all)
and why don’t they respect us? Are we the new slaves of the 21st
century?
Yours loving the strong headed feminist,
Apsara
