How Aggravating: Summer 2022

Where do you see sexist or
cultural injustice —
in your life and around the world?

I get really frustrated when men's sports come on TV. Only 4% of news media sports coverage is about women’s sports. That is totally unfair! Almost every day men's sports are shown on TV. This is why I like gymnastics. It shows a great amount of the women's side of sports. Women's sports NEED more recognition. We deserve it.

At school my class can use computers sometimes during recess and we play games on an online thing called poki.com and it has lots of fun games. However, there are also collections for everything like ‘games for girls’ or ‘games for boys.’ When you go into the girls collection it's all dress up and pageant games with White weirdly skinny characters and in the boys collection there are racing games and sport games that me and my friends like to play. Ugh! Aggravating!

I don't understand why society thinks you need to be in a romantic relationship to be happy. Children are basically taught from an early age that the only way they will thrive in life is getting married/having a partner. We're taught to value the company of others, specifically significant others, over our own. Even though we're all our own amazing, interesting, individual selves. This needs to stop! Girls, we can be happy alone!
