Leading the way

 

Leading, at least during the period I first learned to read was something you did not see much coming from girls unless it was a all girls story in which instance like some girl had to be that one.

Usually it ran rather more that the girls had Ideas but the boys picked from them and moved it forward appointing a boy as leader and so often he got all credit for something he had not thought of.

Thus it's kind of interesting here the girl has the rugby ball - you were doing well if any girl played cricket or soccer then - and is going off with for the others to play with on a sunny day although lemonade and sandwiches are missing.

Thankfully today it is much less frowned on for a girl to take the lead, iniate things but in saying that just stopping boys from doing anything cos they always have isn't much better because each gender has their advantages and each of us is an individual who should feel free to play to own own strengths and play fair.
