announcement: each woman has a penis

< You may be laughing your heart out like that or still in shock like this > but we must accept the truth, we do have one, believe it.We were talking about feminism in Literature class and Ms. Kathy told us that we have penis too, just like men. Putting it on a scientific explanation, our penis is our clitoris. It just so happened that our Y chromosome isn't dominant, whereas a man's Y choromosome is. So technically, our clitoris is our penis which isn't developed. Oh, and that's why when girls want to have sex change, Ms. Kathy said that what doctors do is close the vagina and let the girl drink testosterone and *poof* theere will be a penis. Cool huh? It's so much fun learning something new; something that would shock the hell out of you.

I've been thinking about this and I think everyone can relate to it. It's time for me to put my thoughts here before it drifts away.

You know when you're around 12 or 13 and think that you're mature enough? Then when you get older, you look at those 13-year-old girls and think that they're so young and that they don't know anything. But then you start thinking, "How did I act when I was her age? What was I thinking then?" Then, you'll realize that these girls aren't so young after all. Like for example, I was thinking that you still can't talk to a 13-year-old about his/her crush. But when I think about it, when I was their age, I did talk about boys. I also thought that falling in love at this age would seem impossible but when I see my classmate, whom I believe did fall in love when we were in first year while she was only 12, I would change my mind and say, hey, these girls aren't as young as I think they are.

Another example is how I look at these cute 5 year old kids. When I see them, I ask questions like, "Can they understand me if I talk to them? Do they know how to read and write properly? Are they aware of what's happening around them?" Then I look back at my 5 year old self and think of how I acted or of how I thought. I did understand adults when they spoke to me. I did know how to write and read properly and I was also aware of my surroundings. If I was able to do those when I was 5, then of course, these 5 year olds do aslo know how to do these things.

It's so funny how we see people who are younger than us as people who don't know much, when in fact they do. I bet when I get to the age of 20, I'll see a 16 year old as someone who still can't decide on her own. Then I'll go back to see what I was thinking when I was 16 and prove myself wrong. Why are we like this? Maybe because we grow and mature each and everyday, thus, seeing ourselves as someone who didn't know anything when we were younger. Maybe this is also why adults say, "bata ka pa!" even though we know we're not as young as they think we are. We forget who we were when we were younger, thinking that we are better persons as we get older.

In the same way, it's funny how when we were small, we thought of someone who's older than us as someone who's smart and all. We would always be in awe and ask, "How did they do that? That's hard!" Like for example, when I was in grade 7 and saw high school books, I was so scared to go to high school because I thought it's hard. Well, I stepped into high school and it wasn't as hard as I thought. I forgot that those things which I thought was hard will be taught to us so we could understand it and we could learn about it.

I don't know how to express this in a clearer sense, but I hope you get what I mean. When we get older, we go on thinking that the ones who are younger than us do not know much. But then, when we think of it, go back and see how we thought and acted, we suddenly realize that they know a lot of things, just as much as we did when we were at their age. But when we were still younger, we though of those people who were older than us as someone who knows a lot, forgetting that we would also acquire those things as we go along.

It's weird how adults see children and how children see adults, both having worng misconceptions about each other.
