Genderism

Instead of saying "Sexism" I named this post "Genderism" which doesn't make sense.
Before any of you judge, sexism is basically being racist but with genders instead of ethnicity, religion, etc.
Before I start, two quotes I really like are :
Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed.  If I fail, no one will say, "She doesn't have what it takes."  They will say, "Women don't have what it takes." 
 ~Clare Boothe Luce

The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power.  You just take it. 
~Roseanne Barr
In society..
A girl follows a guy on twitter? Rude, she wasn't raised well, she's in a relationship, blah blah blah.

A girl doesn't wear the 7ijab (headpiece)? Bad, she's bad.

A girl is drinking coffee with a guy? Definetely in a relationship.

A girl wants to act? Ray7a feeha. (Bad reputation).

A girl cries? Girls are so overdramatic.

A girl's heart is broken? Move on, who cares.

A girl goes out alone? Her parents didn't raise her well.

A girl shouts at the disgusting guys following her in the mall? Attention seeker.

There are many more examples. حسنوا الظن. She might be chilling with her brother or colleague. She doesn't have to wear a headpiece to have a pure heart and to be a good person who who follows her religion. Some girls without the headpiece are better 3ind Allah than some girls who do wear it. Girls have feelings and hearts. Some girls know their limits. Just because some girls are actors doesn't mean they made huge mistakes on purpose. Stop judging.
And families: Don't be too strict on your daughters, sisters, cousins. They will wanna make mistakes just so they could get on your nerves (3nad). Loosen up a bit but make sure they follow the right path.
Why when a girl gets engaged and you find out one bad thing about her you leave her? What about guys? For example if a family finds out he's a player they still don't care. He'll marry their daughter. Why can guys go out alone? Teach the girls in your family self-defense, put boundaries for them and trust them All a girl wants is to be trusted. Stop being sexist.
*I didn't intend to offend any family. Some girls needed to relate. This is what most girls feel. They need to break out of that shell.
