About Me

For every girl who is tired of acting weak when she is strong, there is a boy tired of appearing strong when he feels vulnerable.For every boy who is burdened with the constant expectation of knowing everything, there is a girl tired of people not trusting her intelligence.For every girl who is tired of being called over-sensitive, there is a boy who fears to be gentle, to weep.For every boy whom competition is the only way to prove his masculinity, there is a girl who is called unfeminine when she competes.For every girl who throws out her E-Z-Bake Oven, there is a boy who wishes to find one.For every boy struggling not to let advertising dictate his desires, there is a girl facing the ad industry's attack on her self-esteem.For every girl who takes a step toward her liberation, there is a boy who finds the way to freedom a little easier.
