You are first and foremost a person. A reckless, foolish person, but a person nonetheless. If I ever say you are not permitted to do something, rest assured that the last reason I would ever say so would be because you are a girl.

About This Quote

You are first and foremost a person. A reckless, foolish person, but a person nonetheless. If I ever say you are not permitted to do something, rest assured that the last reason I would ever say so would be because you are a girl. This quote is a powerful reminder of the strength in each of us.

We all make mistakes, and we all need to be forgiven for them. But when a girl is told she is not allowed to do something, there's a good chance that it's because she has been made into an object instead of a person. This is not okay.
