As I have grown up through my childhood and pre-teen years, the different elements of pop-culture (books, TV, movies, music, etc.) have had an impact on me.

Beyoncé Knowles once said, “We have to teach our boys the rules of equality and respect, so that as they grow up, gender equality becomes a natural way of life. And we have to teach our girls that they can reach as high as humanly possible.” In our current society, young boys have been raised to believe that because they are male, they are superior to women. Their heads are filled with sexist beliefs that take years to change. As a result, young women’s heads are poisoned with the idea that…
