sexism

the saddest thing about goa is the sexist attitude of most people. i know we have equal rights and everything, and that women and men have had equal rights to property since portuguese times. and a lot of goan women are actually doing something with their lives-like my mum. but for some reasonpeople still think having a son is the greatest thing since sliced bread. i often get asked this question (i'm the younger of two daughters): you don't have a brother?
like i need one! one old lady actually asked me why i wasn't born a boy! sheesh!
except for the fact that i don't produce sperm, i'm every bit as good as a boy! i work harder and i'm pretty sure i have bigger muscles than some of my guy friends- that's because they don't get off their lazy butts to do anything physical (except get in fights). no offence to all the guys out there. i love all the men/boys in my life but ugh!
i know i'm a feminist or at least i project myself as one, but i really just want people to accept each other, regardless of sex.
is that really too much to ask?
