We teach girls to shrink themselves To make themselves - TopicsExpress



          

We teach girls to shrink themselves To make themselves smaller We say to them You can have ambition( but not too much) You can be successful( but not too successful), otherwise youll threaten the man Because Im female, Im expected to aspire to marriage Im expected to make my life choices always bearing in mind that marriage is the most important. Marriage can be a system of joy ,love and mutual support but why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we dont teach boys the same. We raise girls to see each other as competitors , not for jobs or accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of men... Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
