This is 21st century America. I'll never understand why people think it is still acceptable to undermine a woman's ability to be equal or superior to a man. To the men who think women belong in the kitchen, I'd like to flip you the bird but I won't because that makes me just as ignorant as you. Instead I will show you that I can do anything you can do and more. Although it may seem I am putting down the male population, I'm only trying to prove that we're on the same playing field.
It's modern America, where women have long since gained their right to vote and a place in society. Why do some things feel like they haven't changed? Women may work the same jobs that men do but get paid less and to worsen the blow, we get put down for doing the same jobs as men.
I'm a millennial young woman trying to earn my place in this world. Nothing comes free and I don't expect it to. But don't you dare tell me I belong in the kitchen unless the kitchen is a code name for an airport tarmac.
I've gone my whole life being told I couldn't do things because I was a girl. That ends now, with me. No woman, no girl in this world should be looked down upon because she was simply born a girl.
For all those whose mothers work day and night to keep food on the table, keep in mind that you wouldn't tell your mother she belongs in the kitchen instead of working. Women all over the world work tirelessly to prove they can do anything. We are more than housewives, baby factories, a pretty face and a nice ass. We're human and we have dreams.
