Choosing to follow does not make you lesser but ignoring your heart to fit in certainly does.

These days little girls grow up learning that they can do anything, achieve anything, that they can be just as good as the boys at whatever they want to do.  They are taught that they should take charge as future leaders and that any reluctance they may feel is because of society’s problems.  That’s right… the patriarchy.

This is all well and good for many of them but there are always a few girls who silently think to themselves that it doesn’t sound right, that it feels more natural to let the boys make the decisions and to just follow their lead.  The problem is that they are then taught to believe that sort of thinking is bad, it’s confusing to be told that something you see as natural is bad even though in your heart you know it’s right.
