Flip Those Wings Little Bird,

I would not change it each time

Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I

Throughout our entire adolescence women will be adultified. Told that we are ‘more mature’ than our male peers. More responsible, more reliable. We’ll be given tasks and responsibilities that are not expected of our brothers and barely expected of our fathers. The oldest daughter will start to clean and cook and take on child care duties for siblings. We listen to mother’s emotional outbursts of pain because ‘we just get it.’

And when a sixteen year old starts dating a man who’s been out of high-school as long or longer than she’s been there, this rhetoric can be used as justification. “Well she’s actually more mature than he is” her mother titters with a laugh. “He’s the only boy on her level” her father says sagely.

And I ask; how is the sixteen year old girl ‘more mature’ than the adult man who has years worth of life experience, the right to vote, drive a car and purchase liquor? What experiences, privileges, rights or understandings does the high schooler have on this man?

The answer is nothing she is simply more mature by virtue of being female. And isn’t that just so convenient for predatory men.

Why do girls mature faster than boys?

We don’t

Men just need a reason to justify expecting and extracting more from us earlier on in our lives.

There will never be peace in Palestine until the total, unequivocal defeat of the occupation. I know this has been said, but far too many people will be just fine with getting on with their lives. That is why it is imperative that we keep up the pressure, and not let Palestine become another hip, trendy cause of the month.

And this is the truth of our country and I will feel guilty of Being Indian if she will not get Justice.

I could bring fire from the mountain, you tell me it feels a little colder

Is it a normal desi experience to feel like a failed investment of your parents or is it just me?

The only thing that can fix me is attending university at Takshashila in the 6th century BCE. Nothing else will suffice.
