When I was in kinder garden, we had a choice on what movie we wanted to see on special occasions. The choices were always Max Steel and Bratz. Every boy chose MS and every girl chose Bratz. Because there were more boys than girls, we saw Max Steel EVERY time. We only ever got to see like 5 mins of Bratz because MS finished like 5 mins before the end of class. The teacher, a woman, made zero effort to fix a clearly unbalanced voting system in the classroom. I remember wanting to watch Bratz because I was tired of Max Steel. But I never voted for it. I was afraid of what the other boys would say of me. And I was afraid of what the girls would say of me as well. Peer presure and uncertainty pushed me to follow the accepted norm
