♧Totally didn't just remember how 2 of my friends, who were girls, and i were already getting sexist comments in 4th and 5th grade- ♧
-•-Apologies in advance for such a long message, which turned into an unexpected rant-•-
♤♤ For context, I played football in 4th and 5th grade before I had to move. Also, i do not have contact with them anymore, and my friends did not play with me in 5th grade. I had a male teammate (who was, surprisingly, not, the type to think that he was, as my family says "gods gift" meaning he thought he was the best of the best) say that my friends and I were just going to be bench warmers. I didnt take this lightly because 1, one of said friends was timid and sensitive, which I was protective of them because i hated seeing them sad. And 2, my parents always told me to stick up for myself, which i did, at times. So, my like, 10 year old self didn't like hearing that, especially when it was directed towards my friends, and being the chubby kid I was, who also got put out as a starter for lineman(from what I remeber) even though I was like, 4'9 and shorter than everyone else, apparently scared him during practice. I say apparently because i dont remember this and i heard the stroy from my parents. Now, he was still, significantly shorter than me, so I imagine it was pretty funny to see what happened, since I apparently sent him running. I also had a few other times where, after my female friends left the team, boys would pick on me, or point stuff out.
(There will be another message with other stories since this was too long)
