Description

so i decided to side track from commissions to finish this piece!

have you guys seen the #likeagirl video always created? or the verison commercial on how girls are raised into becoming "girls" society wants them to be? its truly inspiring and eye-opening

it teaches not only that girls can do anything the same as guys can do but also how words have an impact on our lives

now i have always been an activist against patriarchy, but i never really did anything for it... so in response to the video, i decided to make a piece that would spread some news!

ive decided to mash both inspirations into one piece to show that girls can do anything guys can do!

i researched the highest ranked male-dominant jobs in America and created these occupations as a result (chefs and doctors were also added but i feel that our society has grown accustomed to females in those occupations)

i didnt want this piece to be dark and depressing because its supposed to be optimistic and looking to the future of acceptance and equality! i also tried to change the meaning of "like a girl" into something positive! (hence the occupations relating back to the phrase)

In the UK there are almost as much women there is as men in the law enforcement, when a crime is called on, 1 policeman and 1 policewomen will arrive at the house

Women have the opportunity to go for a career in design technology, just as much as men

Women have the opportunity to go for a career in Business, just as much as men

There is the women athletics, the reason they are separated from men to women is because biological difference, it's not a myth that men and women's body's are slightly different


Now what about fashion? there are more women and homosexual men in fashion, there is a huge minority in fashion for straight males, is that because they are told ''it's for gays'' or ''it's for women''? No, its because the majority of males do not have an interest in fashion
