Annabella's fight
Tradition is not a matter of men
Is she here again?
- Calm down boys ! , Good morning
Good morning
Annabelle,
once again,
it’s not a place for girls
how many times I have to tell you ?
Go back to your home and make girls stuff !
What “girls stuff” ? !
I don’t know. Cooking ? Play doll
now go away
Calm down back there!
like that
That’s better now.
Are you serious?
What an idea to lend him your costume to play with!
She should have changed her clothes: she will get stained
That was an old shirt
you are old !
the shirt is like new
Stop always taking her sides!
And you
stop trying to be a man !
I didn’t try to be a man
I’m just me.
for the same reason, you are a girl
You better look for something that girls like
but, if I am a girl
and I like this men’sport,
it means that it should please to the girls!
it seems logical to me.
the problem is, my love,
is that in school they are not going to train a girl
even if I'm as strong as you
Decision is obvious!
Your daughter could not be admit in this school!
We could not change traditions,
For a simple caprice!
- It isn’t a caprice!
my daughter is passionate, she carries it in her blood
but, Bernard!
Imagine your daughter thrown in the water by one of her friends
Wrost ! Imagine the dishonor,
if your daughter throw one of her friends in the water!
the boy will never get over it!
and would remain traumatized all his life…
you are trying to say
that my daughter cannot participate
in a competition that by inheritance corresponds
because a boy can
be ashamed that a girl beat him?
my daughter beats everyone in her category
so hurry up and do a lotto
to pay each of them a psychologist!
but don't go like this!
well,
I spoke to the school and your mother is right
they refused you practice with them.
but,
If my only daughter can't go to school,
then, the school will come to her!
Take that my love !
champion
what?
Did you really imagine
that we were going to listen to those old men
We could not change traditions, For a simple caprice!
it’s not a place for girls
stop trying to be a man !
your mother is right
is that in school they are not going to train a girl
Decision is obvious!
Is she here again?
it means that it should please to the girls!
Imagine the dishonor
they refused you practice with them.
for my daughter Violeta
