“Boys are given the universe in which to carve out their identities, the promise of infinite space for them to expand into and contract upon.

“In our current society, it is considered a weakness to be female and a treason to protest this. Highlighting inequality results in aggressive insults and threats, all of which are propped up by the repeated narrative now that women are 'playing the gender card'. And this is the final insult.
