My mother once said
That a girl may dress as a boy
But not all the timeAnd while they're accepted

My father often saysBoys can not
Dress as girls
Not even for an hourOr they will be looked at

For women more than men
Because if we fought for them as wellThey wouldn't be looked at differently
Any more than a girl
Growing up in a different scene.
