Few days ago, a close friend of mine went to a beach.
Posted a few bikini pictures of hers but she was insecure about it.
Saw her insta story, people DM her and the message is judgemental.
Then months ago, I was out for a few drinks with some guy friends and talked about things.
the events, work, night out, clothes and etc.
and i said things like this: i think it just easy for man.
They got offended and started to defend themselves.
I told the reasons why i think things are just easier for man.
Somehow they agreed and we continued drinking.
(there wasn't a serious debate session, we were just chatting and drinking)
Then flash back, years ago. It was story of my mom.
There's waterfall near her house where a lot people will go,
my mom and her sister never have a chance to go the waterfall when they were kids.
They are not allowed to go the waterfall because they are girls.
All my uncles went to the water and told them how fun to be at the place.
The first time my mom went to the waterfall was after she got married and brought her kids to the waterfall.
Now is a story of mine. When i was a kid.
My uncle had a big pond where he was rearing his fish at his backyard.
There was tiny house in the middle of the pond where he kept all his equipment and you need to row the boat to the tiny house.
It looks fun. So I always wanted to go the tiny house when i was a kid
All my cousin brothers went to the tiny house but us.
My cousin sister, my sister and me.
Because we are girls.
There was time i wish myself is a boy because everything seems easy to be a boy.
Especially living in a world like ours.
Boys are taught to be outgoing and adventurous.
But most of the time, I'm glad and proud of being girl.
Despite the fact that this world is still pretty much gender inequality and sexism
I still love being a girl.
I met a lot strong woman in my life which includes my mom.
She raised me like a girl and allow me to live like boy.
