I saw something very strange today while walking to the Transportation Office. There is a middle school just south of here and the kids were in PE class. The funny thing was that I saw several girls RUNNING the laps while the boys in the class were simply walking. Is this some grand design of things to come in these boy's futures? The fact that they are unwilling or unable to keep up with the girls makes me think that those boys will be lagging behind the girls in more than just PE.
The girls seemed determined to keep running despite how tired they were and the boys merely slowed down until they stopped running completely. Is this the sign of the times? Are girls suddenly destined to outrun boys in life? Society has changed and women are no longer required nor expected to stay at home. They are challenged in school and have a desire to learn and advance themselves academically, socially and financially. Boys are starting to lag behind in all those areas just as those boys were lagging behind on the laps.
I know it was just a PE Class, but it is still something interesting to think about.
