Rebel Girls

Sydney, 20 April 2017

As usual when I am studying, I always get distracted by something else, like this time, I come to this video on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/rebelgirls/videos/1629783527049636/?hc_ref=NEWSFEED

This video is so inspiring. Its introduction re-illustrates what if Cinderella was a boy, and they criticise if all kid stories always depict girl as a character who does not have a power to decide what she wants to be and always dominated by man's plot.

What really intrigues me is a comment from Tahmeena Khan (https://www.facebook.com/nahink?fref=ufi&rc=p) that says "we are busy teaching our daughters to be strong independent human beings, but we forget that boys need to know these things about girls as well. How else will they share the responsibility of the future equally". I think this is so accurate.
