No one is making you follow,

But

Everyone follows 

There's only one rule here

Men first, women next

No one speaks this, shared in only whispers

Men earn the money, women get less

Men at work, women at home

Men talk, women listen

I’m Blair

I have one older brother, Blake

Blake is 

the smart one

the funny one

the athletic one

the loved one…

If you saw my parents and Blake, 

you would think he’s an 

only 

child

My friends always tell me, 

“How is your brother so perfect?”

I ask myself the same question

Is it because he is a boy?

The rules kill me

He is already way ahead

My parents tell me I don’t need to be great 

since I’m 

only 

a woman

That I should be like my mom

Let my husband make money, let him work, let him talk

I don’t want that

I WANT TO 

MAKE MONEY,

WORK,

And

TALK
