Finally, someone who sees through the whole “I’m just a girl” thing.

No — I’m not just a girl.

I’m a girl, and I’m proud of it.

Thanks to the feminists who fought for our rights, I can go to school, speak freely, and live the way I choose.

Thanks to them, I don’t have to stay quiet or small.

Thank you to every woman who sees how the system works and chooses not to play along.

Being a girl doesn’t mean being less.

It means being strong — and never needing to hide that.
