Behind your Broadway show
I heard a voice say, “Please don’t hurt me”

You’ve carried on so long, you couldn’t stop if you tried it
You’ve built your wall so high
That no one could climb it

I don’t think this is an issue in just the United States! Sure, we have more raging issues as a ‘developing’ country, but maybe this is where some of our social problems take root.
What is this constant difference highlighted between men and women?
Why cant we look at people as just that?
Why do we have to create labels, and boundaries and fit circles into square slots?
Does an environment like this enable men and women who cross boundaries of personal space and molest, rape, eve-tease? It doesn’t excuse their behaviour, but if we are looking to change, then maybe this is where it starts.
Why is it, “Be a man” or “behave like a girl” and not, “be yourself” or “be fearless”?
Are you saying fear is a feminine attribute ? Have you seen a tigress protecting her cubs? We don’t even need to look beyond our mothers to find courage, strength, patience and selfless love. Do we need to limit these characteristics to a gender?
Lots of questions.
