There are 2 ways to kill a girl. The first is to kill her in the womb, or right after birth. That is the gentle way. The other is to kill her, breath by breath, step by step, for the rest of her life.
“Don’t wear this.”
“Go inside, there are boys here.”
“Girls should not be playing physical sports, run away.”
“Don’t answer back.”
“Who will marry you if you cant even cook?”
“No matter how much you study, eventually you have to cook!”
“The woman of the house must not work outside.”
“I am the husband, and you will do as I say.”
By deciding, even, how deep a breath she can take. There are, after all breasts to be considered.
The illiterate kill their girls the first way. The rich, the literate and others use the second. Only a girl who has lived like this for 16-17 years, can understand the benefits of dying at birth.
