Be a lady

that's what I've been told my entire life

Don't talk to loud

Don't speak if you aren't spoken too

Don't wear that you look like a slob

You can't play sports, you'll get hurt

A girl shouldn't write such gory stories

Don't make dirty jokes

Sit with your ankles crossed

be polite

Be educated

Don't say ain't or Y'all

or any of that bumkin talk.

Why can't I?

Just be cause I have a vagina and boobs

means I can't do what my brothers do

Means I can't fight as well

Speak as loud

be as smart

run as fast?

I'm sorry but that seems a little stupid to me

I mean 

if they have a dick

that means they can't cook

clean

tend to children

 be tender

sing well

be artistic

How about we cut these stupid stereotypes

Moms and Dads

and start seeing us as we should be seen

A girl who can takcle and ruck and punch

A guy who can cook and draw and loves kids

Who gives a damn?
