Having XX in your chromosomal set isn't always a blessing. At times, you get to be the centre of attention when you are the only girl among your siblings and the social century-old privilege that comes with being one such as being offered a seat and not being too hard on you simply because you are a girl. In spite of all that, as a girl myself, I think I would have much preferred being born as a male if not anything else but a female in this world that's gruesomely one sided. When a girl dresses a certain way or behaves in a certain manner, she gets chided for it, sometimes to an extent of being called a prostitute when she's probably not even seen a phallus before. I am not saying that if you have seen one (especially through unsolicited nude pics), you are considered one, but you get my point right? Even in downfall of marriages and relationship breakups, it is ALWAYS the female who is at fault despite clear evidence against it. A girl always has to watch where and when she goes out and who she is with and what she does but not one time do you see a guy being 'handled' that way. Is it because girls are physiologically weak and biologically preyed after or is it because they don't usually clap back at the threatening voices around them? Moreover, girls are always the object of scrutiny when it comes to attire even in this 21st century and don't even get me started about the common perception that girls are only fit to play the role as cooks and housekeepers while guys get to just pig out and make a mess. Curfews and word filters only apply to females and some of our own kind are even berating those who go against it. If it's your own family who comes up with a set of rules, whether or not it is gender bias, then it probably wouldn't be right to argue about it but if some 3rd person tells you what to do or not do, I think it's time you shut them up and make it clear to them that their opinion, not a germ bit of it matters and that they should save it for their own family members and their ownselves. What seems right to you, may not be so for others and vise-versa, so stop getting overconfident that you are able to change people simply because you think you are above everyone else.
