From my experience with life, I can tell you this right now. Guys suck. Now, not all guys suck. I am not saying that if you are a guy, you suck. It’s just, well, certain ones do. Such as, some get too cocky, some are just plain annoying, some might get under your skin. Some might think you don’t try, some might make fun of you, some may just plain bother you and think it’s a joke, when it reality, it isn't’ They might think that they are being cute or funny when in reality, they are not amusing and rude. They think just because you don’t excel as the other ones, you suck. They think that just because you are a girl, you can’t do certain things, and therefore you suck. The other main problem is with society. Society tells women to stay at home, to not get a job and this is when women’s self esteem is lowered. You never see in the news about girl’s basketball or women’s softball. It’s always men,men,men. Guys says girls can’t do sports because we are girls, and when they do actually do it, they think we suck just because we are not in the same level as them? Like ok, I suck, and your point is? That's not gonna knock me down, it’s not gonna break me (even though, well, it might, it happens) I don’t care if they consider basketball a “male” sport. I don’t care if they consider baseball a “male” sport. Cause screw them. You do you, and be awesome doing it. Don’t let stupid guys like them get in your way of your success. Because we are freaking awesome.

I am a female athelte who loves the sport I do. Although I am not as gret as the male players, I still try my best. Being told I shouldn't do a sport because I am not as great as them just made me want to punch them in the face
