Thesis Statement
Hook
Have you every wondered why girls arent aloud to do sports that boys can do? Why boys get all the praise in glory on team sports while girls are deep in the shadows?
"Too often girls accept that the course of the boys will get better lighting and seating at their sports events, of corse the football team will get more attention, privelleges, and space in the yearbook. We need tot each girls to look around and notice when they're being treated like second -class citizens., and then to insist in equal treatmemt. "
