My brother was bought a dirtbike...and told to get outside.
I was bought barbie dolls...and told to play in my room.
My brother joined the Boy Scouts...and learned how to backpack.
I joined the Girl Scouts...and learned how to sell cookies.
My brother ran track and was told...“get good grades and you’ll get a scholarship”
I ran track and was told...“don’t be so competitive or you won’t get a boyfriend”
My brother started dating and my parents bought him condoms and said:
“be careful don’t get tied down”
I started dating and my parents said:
“keep your legs together, who’ll buy the cow when they get the milk for free”
My brother went to college and was told...
“get a degree and start a career, marriage can wait”
I went to college and was told...
“it’s a great place to meet A Husband”
My brother went out into the world and excelled!
I went out into the world and fell flat on my face!
Why, they ask, you were given the same opportunities?
