Watching this video I think that, this is the way many girls think of themselves. As a joke, as something fragile that has to be pretty all the time.

Let's rewind to my younger years. I was raised as an only child. I could be explained as your typical little girl: playing with Polly Pockets and doll houses. I'm almost certain, if you looked up the definition of a girly girl, my name would be written in pink calligraphy with hearts surrounding it.

As a tomboy growing up, I was always at the receiving end of jokes because I was not “girly” enough; this campaign’s initial interpretation of stereotypical responses regarding girls was eye-opening. Seriously, when did being a girl become an insult? My daughter was in high school when this campaign was published. Even my teenager, the star basketball player

should boys have to be raised like this. It's been going on for a really long time, for example african warriors, they had to undergo tests to become a man.I Feel like boys should be able grow up being able to be sensitive and like things that are “girly” or “not manly”.

Lifeline When I was younger, I lived with my aunt Rhonda and she always tried to make me into a “girl girl”. She would fix my hair and make it curly and keep telling me “When you are older, I am going to buy you butt loads of makeup”.

boys and girls throughout the world argue about this simple question; should girls be allowed to play sports that this generation thinks is only for boys. Sports such as wrestling, football, and baseball use strength that most girls do not get recognized for. I agree that girls should be able to play boy sports because girls are equal and some girls may like the sport. Just because boys are stronger does not give them the right to say no girls.
