I remember when I was five years old, my mom started to teach me Arabic stories and the boys would always go with their fathers and the girls would always go to the kitchen and cut.

So I always asked my mom, why the hell the girls are not going with their fathers?

So that was my start as a golden kid.

Well, that was the norm.

Like, the boys goes with the fathers and the daughters goes with the mothers and clean and make sure they have food and cook and clean and take care of the house.

But the boys would go outside with the fathers and, you know, have fun.

So, but I was...

I always liked to go out with my father.

I was what they call it.

Daughter, father, girl.

Oh, yes.

My mom, she always used to freak out every time I bring any sentence towards a woman's rights.
