I thought that it was very interesting to observe the actions that were allowed with boys compared to girls, as I'm sure many other people noticed. the fact that boys didn't have to raise their hands but girls absolutely had to is just such a stupid thing. Such a simple thing to share equality with and there has to be rules like that. This is why society is how it is today. I believe that everything that is how it is today, is because something in the past shaped it to be like that. 'Back then' little girls were taught to always have manners and be proper and be pretty. Brains didn't matter, but they always had to 'know better'. And boys got away with so many other things because well.. 'they're just boys and don't know any better.'
I think this issue has obviously gotten better through out the years but we will always have a lot of room to improve things with in society.
I think this picture really represents the point that I was trying to get across with this passage. Women always have many more struggles than men because a lot of the time they get the easy rout because women should know how to get an education and a job, were as men maybe don't?
I really like your picture! I definitely agree that women encounter struggles in life when it comes to things like education and a career. I also like the fact that the guy's talk bubble is question marks. To me, it symbolizes the idea that the privileged don't recognize their privilege. It is so natural in their life that it has to be pointed out in order to be seen. Even then, it may not be believable or something they are willing to care about.
