Guy | Girl
He had his history book in front of his eyes, using it to block the sun streaming in through the glass windows. Highlighters, index cards, and random notes were scattered over the desk.
"What are you studying for in History?"
"World World II...It's funny how even though this is my sixteenth time learning about it, I still can't keep track of all the war heroes and battles."
"You need help?"
He turned his big eyes pleadingly to her, "Yes, please. Help. Now."
She flipped through the pages to get a sense of what they were learning. It had been a year since she had finished AP History. Skimming over the Nazi Party and concentration camps, she chuckled at the irony.
"What? What's so funny?"
"You remember the first time we met, you called me a Feminazi?"
He smoothed his hair back sheepishly, "Ah...that...you punched me though!"
"I fight for both men and women's rights. I fight for equality. The reason I punched you was that it was insulting and derogatory for you to call me a feminazi."
"Okay," He put down his papers and took a breath, "You know why I think feminists are hypocrites?"
"Enlighten me."
"The first time we met, you punched me after an argument."
"And you were totally being the epitome of kindness and tact." She retorted sarcastically.
"Since girls and guys are so equal, and since you fight for that equality. Why is it justified for a girl to punch a guy, yet completely wrong for a guy to punch a girl? And don't start because I know you would get angry if a guy punched a girl." He smiled like a cat that got the cream, proud to have caught her struggling with words.
She struggled to find words, to somehow bring the argument back to her favour.
"Face it, babydoll, guys and girls are not equal."
