00:00Girls aren't supposed to wear short clothes, or show cleavage, or have public Instagram
00:06profiles, or sit un-ladylike.
00:30Girls aren't supposed to wear short clothes, or show cleavage, or have public Instagram
00:37profiles, or sit un-ladylike.
01:00It's been 26 years. 47 years. 34 years. 21 years. 18 years. 15 years.
01:15Since we've been living in a society that shamed us for not living according to its
01:20terms.
01:21Because we are girls.
01:24And girls aren't supposed to wear short clothes, or show cleavage, or have public
01:29Instagram profiles, or sit un-ladylike, or have too many guy friends, or date too many
01:36men, or party hard, or drink too much.
01:41Maybe a glass of wine is fine, but a gallon of beer is definitely maligned.
01:47Who decides though? You?
01:50The same you who says single moms are a shame?
01:54That women call out abusers for fame?
01:57Staying up late at night is digging our own pit.
02:00Wearing too much make-up means we're asking for it.
02:05But we're not asking for it.
02:08Nope.
02:09No.
02:10Nah.
02:11Nuh-uh.
02:12Still not asking for it.
02:14So just let it drop.
02:17Because there is nothing that can make us stop.
02:20Not your abuses, or your dick pics, the slut-shaming, or name-calling.
02:26We shall continue travelling solo.
02:29And run our goddamn show.
02:31Talk about sex.
02:33Happily masturbate.
02:35Play sports.
02:36Take over the steering wheel.
02:38Cut our hair short.
02:39And do push-ups with equal zeal.
02:42You can no longer put us in a box.
02:44We are meant to break free.
02:47You don't get to decide what's proper and to what degree.
02:50So just, just let us be.
02:54Because girls will be girls, you see.
02:57We say this, not as an excuse for our misdeeds.
03:01It is exactly what it means.
03:04Our mantra.
03:05Our right to just be.
03:07We won't lose ourselves no more.
03:09So let us be girls.
03:11Hear us roar.
