Some of our speakers were young women - one who organized a BLM rally in our town after George Floyd's murder. She talked about how she was raised to be a "lady" and told not to wear certain clothes because it would distract the boys. She came to realize that everything was about "the boys" and not about girls and women. It was a strong testament to what girls still have to deal with.
