Things We Can Do Even Though We're Girls

"That's not very lady-like."

"A woman should not be doing that."

"You throw like a girl!"

Ladies, we have all heard things like this once or twice before in our life. This is subtle sexism, and it is very real in today's society. Subtle sexism is not always recognized, even though it seems to happen to us on nearly a daily basis.

No matter what society tells you, these are things you can do... even though you're a girl.

1. Play video games

Yes, we can just be as good as any other boy in Call of Duty; and no, we won't do it just to impress boys. Some of us actually like playing video games.

2. Be good at math

And we can even use our math skills to be engineers, too.

3. Aggressive and forward

Not all women have a passive and calm personality. If you irk us, we do have the ability to fight back full fire... so, watch out.

4. Use tools

We can use a screw driver or a hammer. We know how to hit the nail on the head.

5. Cut the grass

Seriously, why is this mainly a guy thing? You mow that lawn, girl.

6. Eat... a ton

Why, yes, I will have a double cheeseburger with extra bacon. Also, can I have a milkshake to go with it?

7. Work a full time job... and be a mom

If dad's can do it... why can't we? We'll work our butt off Monday through Friday and love our children each and every minute.

8. Fix a flat tire

Show us the ropes and we'll fix that tire all by our self.

9. Pay for a date

We can buy the movie tickets or pay for dinner instead of relying on our boyfriend's wallet.

10. Be Independent

Watch us buy our own house, have a full time job, and live a satisfying, independent life.

If a man says you can't do something "because you're a girl," do it anyway and show them what you're really made of.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
