Equal To It

Most people will assume a girl can cook, but men can make great chefs, while there are girls who never at a cookbook took a look! And some won’t wear a dress or fancy pearls. We look at men and think ones super tall are good at basketball. It might not be! A girl is small. She can’t play sports at all? Some girls love math! Some guys love poetry! Old ways of thinking sometimes can be wrong. We can’t assume a thing. Some girls today are showing in the sport they love they’re strong! HE wants to be a nurse; that makes him gay?? If you are good at it and love it too, you’re equal to it, and it’s right for YOU. Feb 9, 2020 for Kai Michael Neumann's "Gender Equality" Contest

Andrea, let's hear it for girls who love math and guys who love poetry! Another great sonnet, with a wonderful message against stereotyping others. This should do really well in the gender equality contest ~

The ending spells the essence of your message, Andrea--a true picture you painted of how we view gender equality.

Well written sonnet Andrea, I do a lot of the cooking as my wife still at work, one thing though, I must be left alone, can't stand others in the rl kitchen whilst I'm cooking. Good luck Tom
