Big difference, right? But you wouldn’t blame the seed for its inability to grow in that environment. Yet, that’s what our society does to girls every day: plants them in misogynistic soil, pits them against each other, demands they look a certain way, and forces them to shove down their roots. And when a girl doesn’t bloom, we ask what’s wrong with her?
At Hardy Girls, we believe it’s the environment that’s in need of attention. Girls and nonbinary youth aren’t the problem, they’re part of the solution.
