Just a girl.

I'm just a girl so in my country

Work doesn't mean nothing

A good husband I will marry

The sooner, the better: nearly 18 springs

I'm just a girl so in my country

Driving a car isn't allowed
I'll always stay home don't worry

Anyway I have to ask to go out 

I'm just a girl so in my country 

Well, I have hardly no right 

Apart from doing your laundry 

Everyone knows I'm not so bright

But didn't you notice anything ?

I'm not just a girl, I'm a human being.

    I feel like very concerned by feminism. I know you might think it's strange for a teen but I think each woman should be. I mean, isn't it the right to feel free to have the opportunity to do whatever you dream of ? Or at least being able to even consider it.
    In my high school it always bothered me when boys reffered to us as "bonne" (means good) but "DAMN IT,WE ARE NOT A CAKE!" is what I want to shout. And when I feel free to do so boys don't understand why I rebel or they're afraid by the idea of feminism. But I think the recent Emma Watson speech for the campaign HeforShe was totally true. More man must involved for this cause women aren't the only human being on earth and feminism needs everyone to create equality between everyone. Our english literature teacher asked us to write a poem about anything we wanted so I decided to write about men and women equality so that I could read it to the class and touch some of my schoolmates. First I dealed with everyday sexism but everytime I was writing something I felt like I was selfish and that nobody would cared about what I was saying so the night before *the* day I erased everything and started again. Finally I decided to write about sexism around the world. The "girl" I'm talking about is as you can guess from a country somewhere in the Middle East. Don't be shocked by the ironical tone I think it calls the reader even more (it's not to brag but I'm really proud of the last lines!) Anyway I hope that I got yourself to become even a little bit more feminist or if you were one already that you recognized your opinion in the poem,

ENJOY !

THE PLAYLIST

Leo.

Let's start !

     
        As you can see this is my first article and I want to develop something : but WHY did I start this blog ? I know that for the moment there will not be so much people reading this post but I hope, yes, I really really do that someday it'll be useful. So, let me introduce myself, I'm Laure and currently a 15 year-old ( it might evolve a little next year) student in high school settled in North of France. It's not that glamorous I know, you tought I was from the city of Love or the beautiful South with nice sunny beaches but excuse me ... NO! I'm from a little city ( not that big ,not that little) that I'll not disclose. Sorry, it's not that I don't trust you but I don't want my mum to kill me. I find that my life is not that interesting, and here you think why does she say that? Because even it's not there are lots of things I want to share like my feelings about being a teenage girl and how I find the world around me strange sometimes. But don't panic I also love music, fashion and plenty other cool things !

See you soon,
Leo.
