Mei EWSIS on 13 Apr 10I'm learning something more about Racism right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is why girls get last to eat in a family? I was researching is question online, and this blog post caught my attention because it's about women and girls always get last to eat in the family. ""We girls and our mothers eat last, after my four brothers, cousin and our fathers have finished. Sometimes there is almost nothing left to eat - but we are used to this," Nasreena Bibi, 12, from northwestern Pakistan's Bajaur tribal agency, told IRIN. " The quote I chose here is basically saying that girls and women don't have right to sit with men and eat with them together. They always get to eat last just because they are women and girls. I think that's unfair because women have the same power and right as men.
