Explanation:
Growing up as a boy, I was surrounded by the expectations of "being a man".Whenever I said I cannot do this or I am too scared to do it, everyone around me would say,you are a man... be brave and face it but no one told the same to my sister even though she was older than me One day when I was playing in the park, a girl came to me and told me to move away from the place where I was playing.I refused.Then she started hiting me.I didn't know what to do.Unable to defend her,I started crying.But when I came home,the first thing told to me was that I was not expected to cry like that.What hurt me the most was that I was teased for getting hit by a girl.After that day I realised that the rules in this country are entirely different for boys and girls
