What is gender?
Is it a label?
It certainly holds a lot of power
Gender determines our role in society
Gender determines if we are educated
if we work
if we are paid equally
if we vote
if we choose
A simple word: boy or girl
Dictates the life we live
So what makes one a boy?
A boy is tough
Is athletic
Is smart
Is powerful
Is a leader
What makes one a girl?
A girl is gentle
Is pretty
Is kind
Is meek
Is a follower
These words
These ideas
These stereotypes
Have limited us for far too long
Have prevented us from
Equal education
Equal jobs
Equal pay
Equal representation
Beneath the words
The ideas
The stereotypes
There is merely
Skin,flesh,and bones
And that is all the same
We gave two words: boy and girl
POWER
And that power divides us
