On Friday, during sharing, a boy in my class read a story. There were girls and boys and good guys and bad guys and magical things happening. At the end, everyone can ask questions or make comments. A girl in my class raised her hand and said, “Your story was very exciting, but the part where you said, ’ she was weak, because she was a girl is wrong; just because she’s a girl doesn’t mean she’s weak’.” IT TOOK ALL I HAD NOT TO HOLLER “HELL YES, M’AM” AND HIGH-FIVE THIS GIRL. I did tell her later on that she was absolutely correct and I was so happy and proud of her for saying that. And I high-fived her.
My story doesn’t really go with this cartoon, but I’ll take it as a win for little girls every where against this kind of crap that they deal with every day.
