I take International women's Day commemoration today to remind and refresh my spirit in having solidarity for women, at least for women who are around me; friends, sisters, mothers, and people with empathy for women. When I was in junior high school, my boy-classmate spontaneously shouted, “you serve like a man,” after I served in a volley game during Physical Education session. As a reply, I asked him, “what do you really wanna say?” He answered, “you are strong like a man, and the ball could pass over the net.” It was because most of my girl-classmates were rarely serve that way, and it made the game was like taking turn to do service exercise a bit. This excerpt of my experience created many questions in my mind; is it a problem? does it make me not girl enough? Does only boy can do it?
