Poetry slam on sexism

Charlotte: There was a 16 year old boy cooking in the kitchen.

Mereana: His father then came over and said 

Charlotte: “you’re such a girl, 

Mereana: what will society think of you.”

Charlotte: Why wasn’t he allowed to cook? 

Mereana: Because he’s a boy? 

Charlotte: This boy’s father was showing sexism 

Mereana: saying that only girls are supposed to cook.

Charlotte: Clean.

Mereana: And more.

Charlotte/Mereana: right here right now we are going to be talking to you about being sexist against the opposite gender.

Charlotte: picture this, you’re sitting on the couch.

Mereana: flicking through the channels.

Charlotte: Then you think, actually I want to watch rugby. 

Mereana: So you change to that channel and you have two choices. 

Charlotte: To watch the all blacks. 

Mereana: Or the black ferns.

Charlotte: What one did you choose? 

Mereana: The all blacks, right?

Charlotte:You choose the all blacks over the black ferns when they both play the same sport.

Mereana: Same rule book 

Charlotte: and they both play for the same country. 

Charlotte/Mereana: The only difference is their gender.

Mereana: Did you know that one of the best rugby players in the world is actually a woman. 

Charlotte: Kendra Cocksedge, the halfback for the black ferns.

Mereana: Was named the Kelvin R Tremain Memorial player of the year. 

Charlotte: She beat out All Blacks Richie Mo'unga, Brodie Retallick and Codie Taylor.

Mereana/Charlotte: Our point is.

Charlotte: That boys and girls should be on the same level for anything and everything.

Mereana: And in this case, especially sports.

Charlotte: Sexism in the work environment is also huge. 

Mereana: So many people especially women are discriminated against for doing a “man’s job.

Charlotte: A woman can be a construction worker 

Mereana: Or a man could be a ballerina. 

Charlotte: One of the teachers at our school owns a plumbing company. 

Mereana: And when she goes to people's houses they actually ask questions like. 

Charlotte: Are you qualified or why are you here.

Mereana: This is sexism because people are saying that women can’t be  plumbers. 

Charlotte: Or a construction worker or do a “man’s job” 

Mereana: But almost any job can be a woman’s or a man’s job.

Charlotte: We interviewed four people from our school.

Mereana: To see what they thought or what they have to say about sexism.

Charlotte: When boys and girls get treated differently because of their gender like how women aren’t getting charged for the construction course at Ara. 

Mereana: And the other person said:

Charlotte: I think that people should not be getting judged by their gender,

but the content of their character. 

Charlotte: Who run the world, girls, is a very famous song by beyonce. 

Mereana: But what people don’t know is the meaning behind it. 

Charlotte: Which is to remind females about all the power 

Mereana: that we have and that males can not control anybody.

Mereana: another inspiring song that’s against sexism is salute by little mix.

Charlotte: This song is about women being able to fight for themselves. 

Mereana: And that they don’t need men. But it’s also about letting everyone know that women are great fighters. 

Charlotte: Bringing the idea that we need to stand and unite as women and be who we want to be.

Charlotte: And the last inspiring song we are going to talk about is you don't own me by Lesley Gore. 

Mereana: You Don’t Own Me is about telling men that they can’t treat us like an object and put us on display like a prized possession. 

Charlotte:It’s about letting men know that women can and will do whatever they want and be whoever they want to be.

Charlotte:It’s about letting men know that women can and will do whatever they want and be whoever they want to be.
