Girls smell like cardamom and cloves

Boys smell like sweat and unwashed clothes

Girls work in kitchens and as maids

Boys go to college and learn their trades

Girls have kids and take care of them

Boys get careers in STEM

Where did all these stereotypes come from

And when will they be gone?

Well until they're gone for good

We'll just have to prove them wrong.
