blog post #2 What Matters?

“I know I can do better than her because she is a girl.” This is what I hear every time I set foot in a skate park.  They laugh at us when we fall but scream in pain when they do. Why does this happen? It’s not just the skate park I see or hear this. Although it has died down sexism is still a huge problem that really needs to stop!
I want my voice to be heard but you won’t be able to hear it through all the loud voices of men abusing woman. If there were no women there would be no people. So why are woman treated so badly when they are not doing anything wrong. Why do girls have to be afraid to walk alone at night when men are able to walk around carelessly whenever they would like too? We are all equals so why are men treating women like they’re not important or like they have no place in this the world.
Equality is what matters to me. It does not matter whether you’re black, brown, white, pink, orange, green, blue, yellow, male or female we all have red blood and beating hearts. Your blood colour or blood type does not matter. So why should people care have what colour or gender you are. When we are all the same on the inside.
I want to know what makes people act in such a disgusting way! I want to know why woman are treated so differently when on the inside they are the exact same. Woman still have as many feelings as men so they shouldn’t be treated like they have none at all. Lots and lots of people are being abused while we are just standing around and doing nothing about it. I know I am only young but I believe that if you set your mind to it and try your very best anyone at any age can make a difference to this world.
Woman can do the same as men. A good example is Marie curie. She became the first woman professor of general sciences in the faculty of science at the University of Paris in 1906. She had a master’s degrees in both science and mathematical sciences and was also the first woman to obtain a science degree. Any woman can be just like Marie curie we just need to try!
This is what really matters to me.
