Brave girl



How bitter was the girl who wanted to be a boy so that she could laugh out loud for once, she wanted to be a boy so that she could walk the streets of her city without hearing the voices of some mentally ill people. She wanted to be a boy because she grew up in a place where people did not know that there was no difference between boys and girls, men and women. It was as if the girls from the land of girls had come from another place and had such restrictions placed on them.   The girl could not make anyone understand that gender is not important, humanity is important. There, no one even wanted to change their wrong belief, they wanted to change the girl, they wanted the girl to believe that she is worthless, they wanted the girl to see herself as a body for men's pleasure.   They did everything to make the girl a plaything of their empty thoughts. They also considered themselves worthless because they had nothing to lose, they only had empty thoughts that destroyed themselves.   The girl realized that she can laugh with a girl, she can walk freely in the streets at any hour of the night.   But no one understood except the girl and it was painful.   By my definition, a feminist is a man or a woman who believes that it is true that there is a gender problem in our world today, but we need to solve it and do better. All of us, men and women, must do something to improve these conditions.
   God created Adam and Eve together and side by side. There is no doubt that the gender of the body and the soul are the same.
