The Powerpuff Girls

My friend, who is a girl, spent four years to learn about her couple before deciding to get married. She told me that her husband is very gentle and do everything for her such as doing housework, cooking, etc. Her husband is very nice even though he might not look handsome…

for families without a son since it gives girls in the Afghan culture an opportunity to have more freedom as they also provide more stability for their families; however, there are negative psychological consequences to becoming a bacha posh that families do not think of when converting their daughters into sons. It is important to acknowledge both the pros and cons of this tradition for the sake…

History class, openly discussing and defending women and how poorly they were treated in earlier societies. Almost every other girl alongside her in class agrees with and applauds her opinion, yet a boy across the room is defending men’s rights, and after class he is slapped multiple times across the face and back because he is wearing a “MENINIST” shirt. Though the girl wants equality for her rights, she cannot claim the responsibility that comes with it, by slapping the boy and having it…

there are a factors that bring the concept of girl power down. Our younger generation are being brainwashed and putting to shame what many women longed to achieve. Teenagers being the easiest target are being influenced by the third wave feminism. This third wave embraces stereotypes and sadly pulls from the concept of girl power. Enlightened sexism, toys, and the perception of women’s roles in society are humiliating those who still truly exercise Girl Power. Have you noticed how racy…

his life will be changed forever. He will be the first one on his t-ball team to catch a pop-fly and the first one on his little league team to hit a ball out of the park. This kid will be determined to become a professional athlete. A little girl at the age of six, wanders…

People Used to Misjudge Me Because of My African Dressing Style. Did you ever feel yourself out of place just because you dressed differently? For example you drew the attention of other because you wore majesty African Gandura or Boubou, while around you they were in smoking or regular jeans and shirt. That was the feeling of my first week in United States of America (U.S). I understand why people are skeptical in front of anyone who looks different, but things become hard when they react to…

the female characters are not good role models for young women since their downfalls are a result of being too eager to please and trusting the wrong men. In the story, the young girl questions what purpose these weak female characters serve in the classroom: “why did we have to study these hapless, annoying, dumb-bunny girls?” (Atwood 224). This quotation aids in understanding why Atwood’s female narrator identifies with the Duke as opposed to the Duchess because it illustrates her yearning for…

with this distinction that dolls are for girls, and that trucks or guns are meant to be for boys. No, these ideals are established in their heads from what toys they interact with as a child, and the clothes that they wore. When walking into the toy section of a store, you are either overwhelmed by the amount of pink and other bright colors or by the darker colors, which distinguishes whether it’s supposed to be for girls or boys. Throughout the colorful girl aisles, there are dolls, along…

with lust over a girl. The two boys are different ages and go to different lengths to impress the girl they want; however, each story has a similar theme, inciting incident, and final ending. A theme in both of the stories is immaturity, or ignorance. The narrator of Araby is an unnamed boy who is probably not yet an adolescent. Being a young boy in a dull town with little exposure to anything from the world outside of his, he is, by default, ignorant. His first experience with a girl is with…

I’m not trying to be feminist with this song or trying to imply that girls have a superior power than men; I firmly believe that both should be equal. However, it is a very empowering song for me because it makes me see that I should never be ashamed of being a woman. I have amazing capabilities to do whatever guys do; my…
