"E hele wikiwiki!" Uā kaʻu kaikamahine i ko mākou hōʻea ʻana i ka holoʻO Disney Kids Dashes i ka wā Star Wars Rival Run Weekend ma Walt Disney World ma Florida. ʻO ia ka heihei ʻekolu ʻo Disney no kaʻu mea hoʻokūkū ʻōpio. Lawe pū ʻo ia i nā papa haʻuki, ʻauʻau, a me nā papa hula, holo i ka scooter (ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻoiaʻiʻo) a koli i ka racket tennis me ka hoʻōho ʻana, "Pōpepa!" A ma ka pôpeku, ʻo ia ke ʻano o ka soccer. P.S. He ʻelua ona makahiki.

Māmā Tiger? Maliʻa paha. Akā, hōʻike ka noiʻi e loaʻa i nā kaikamahine e komo i nā haʻuki nā māka maikaʻi aʻe, ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o ka manaʻo ponoʻī, a me nā pae haʻahaʻa o ke kaumaha. E pae paha lākou i nā kūlana alakaʻi ma hope o ke ola.

ʻOiai ʻo ke komo ʻana o nā haʻuki kula kiʻekiʻe o nā kaikamahine i ka manawa kiʻekiʻe loa, e like me ka loiloi National Federation of State High School Associations, aia nō lākou ma hope o nā keikikāne ma mua o 1.15 miliona mau haumāna. Ma ka manawa like, ua ʻike ʻia ke komo ʻana o nā haʻuki ʻōpio ma lalo o ka makahiki 12 i ka emi mau ʻana mai ka makahiki 2008, e like me ka Sports & Fitness Industry Association. A he 70 pākēneka o kēlā mau ʻālapa liʻiliʻi e haʻalele i ka makahiki 13, e like me ka National Alliance for Sports. ʻO ka hilinaʻi wahine-ma ka par me nā keikikāne i ka makahiki 12-plummets ma ka makahiki 14.

Hōʻike nā hōʻike i ka hōʻike ʻana i nā kaikamahine i ka lawe ʻana i ka pilikia a me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa maʻamau ʻo ia ke kī i ka hakakā ʻana i kēlā hakahaka hilinaʻi. ʻO nā haʻuki kekahi ala ahi ahi e hoʻokō ai i kēlā. "ʻO ka haʻuki kahi manawa kūpono a maʻalahi hoʻi e ʻike i ka nalowale, hāʻule, a me ke kūpaʻa ʻana," i kākau ai nā hoa kākau o ʻO ke Code Confidence no nā kaikamahine ʻO Claire Shipman, ʻo Katty Kay, a ʻo Jillellyn Riley ma ʻO ka ʻAkelanika.

Ua ʻike mua au i ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i ke kāne ma ka pae ʻōpio. ʻO nā papa ʻauʻau a kaʻu kaikamahine he hui like o nā keikikāne a me nā kaikamahine; ma hope o nā mea āpau, he mākau ola ka ʻauʻau ʻana. Akā ʻo kāna papa hula he mau kaikamahine a pau a ʻelua keiki kāne no kēlā me kēia kaikamahine. (A ʻae, hula hoʻokūkū ʻo ia he lealea a pau loa ʻO ka poʻe hula he poʻe haʻuki.)

Akā ʻike wau i kēlā me kēia me ka waiwai like. I ka hulahula, ua aʻo ʻo ia i nā ala hou e neʻe ai, ka holo ʻana o ka lio a me ka bear e kolo ana ma nā ala hele wāwae o New York City, a he mea weliweli loa iaʻu. (Hand sanitizer, STAT!) He jet, chass, a wili ʻo ia, ʻaʻole no ka "kaikamahine," akā no ka leʻaleʻa ʻana i ka mākaukau hou. A ua ʻoi aku ka ikaika o ke kino, ma ke kaʻina hana. I ka wā a kaʻu kāne i lawe aku ai iā ia e ʻike i ka New York City Ballet e hana ana i nā wahi pili pili pilihele ma ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike o Modern Art, ua like ia me ka mesmerized o nā mea hula e ʻūlū ana i ka hanu ma ke kahua ʻoiai ʻo ia e kā lākou hana. I kēia manawa, noi ʻo ia e nānā i nā "purrinas" ma ke TV a hoʻohālike ʻo ia he mau kāmaʻa ballet.

Ma ka papa haʻuki, aʻo ʻo ia i ka haʻuki hou a me ke akamai i kēlā me kēia pule, e like me ka basketball a me ka dribbling, ka pōhili a me ka hoʻolei ʻana, ka pōpeku a me ke kīkēkē, me nā holo kaʻa, nā kaʻina lele trampoline a me nā mea hou aku. I ka hala ʻana o nā hebedoma, ua nānā wau iā ia e lawe i kēlā mau mākau i ka home, ke kīloi nei i nā pōpō āpau i hiki iā ia ke loaʻa a dribbling i kekahi pōpō e kū i luna. Makemake ʻo ia e pāʻani me kāna racket tennis i kēlā me kēia lā. ʻO kā mākou lula #1? Mai kuʻi i ka ʻīlio. (Related: Mahalo wau i nā mākua nāna i aʻo mai iaʻu e apo i ke kino)

A ʻauʻau? Lele ʻo ia i loko o ka wai me ke kōkua ʻole ʻia, dunk i kona poʻo ma lalo a piʻi aʻe i ka ʻū a me ka ʻakaʻaka. Makaʻu ʻole ʻo ia. Manaʻo wau ʻo ka lilo ʻana i mea haʻuki e kōkua iā ia e noho pēlā.

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka pahuhopu o nā hana hoʻoikaika kino ʻaʻole wale no ka mālama ʻana iā ia i ke olakino a luhi paha iā ia, ʻoiai kōkua ia me nā mea ʻelua. Hōʻike ka noiʻi ʻana i ka hoʻoikaika kino e hoʻomaikaʻi maoli i ka noʻonoʻo a me ka hoʻomanaʻo. Ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa nei ʻo ia i mea aʻo maikaʻi aʻe, ʻaʻole ʻo ia he haʻuki ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. A unuhi ʻia i kahi manawa nui o ke kūleʻa i ke kula. Loaʻa i ka poʻe haʻuki nā māka maikaʻi aʻe, hele i ke kula hou aʻe, a ʻoi aku ka nui o nā helu puka ma mua o ka poʻe ʻaʻole pāʻani, e like me ka nui o ka noiʻi.

No ke kaikamahine, he mea nui ia e like me ka wā ma mua. Inā ua aʻo mai ka "Makahiki o ka Wahine" iā mākou i kekahi mea, eia kēia: Pono mākou e hoʻolako a hoʻoikaika i nā kaikamahine i nā ala āpau e hiki ai iā mākou. Ke ola nei ka moekolohe a me ke aloha, #MeToo-a paʻa paʻa ke kaupaku aniani. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā kāne i kapa ʻia ʻo John e holo ana i nā hui S&P 1500 ma mua o nā wahine, e like me ʻO ka New York Times. A ma ia hōʻike 2015, aia he 4 pākēneka wale nō o kēlā mau ʻoihana (e hōʻike ana i ka 90 pākēneka o ka huina waiwai o ka mākeke kumupaʻa o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa), he wahine CEO. I ka makahiki 2018, he 4.6 pakeneka wale nō o nā hui Fortunes 500 i holo ʻia e nā wahine. Nui # alopalm.

Akā ʻo ka "Makahiki o ka Wahine" i ʻuwā pū kekahi i kēia: ʻaʻole mākou e lawe hou. Paʻakikī paha mākou e loaʻa ka uku like, ka kaulike, a me ka mahalo e like me nā kāne ma nā ʻoihana a me nā kihi o ke kaiāulu. Akā ʻoi aku ka nui o nā wahine e komo ana i nā kuleana alakaʻi, e like me nā wahine kaulana 102 e noho ana i ka Hale o nā Lunamakaʻāinana i kēia makahiki. Me nā noho hale 435, ʻo mākou kokoke ka hapalua o ke kaulike.

ʻO ka hāʻawi ʻana i kaʻu kaikamahine-a me kā mākou mau kaikamahine a pau-ʻo ka makana o ka haʻuki kekahi ala e hiki ai i laila. Ma ke ʻano he 94 pākēneka o nā alakaʻi ʻoihana wahine i nā kūlana C-suite i loaʻa i ke ʻano haʻuki, e like me ka nānā ʻana a EY a me ESPNW.

Ma hope o nā mea a pau, nā haʻuki-a me nā hana hoʻokūkū ʻē aʻe, aʻo hoʻi i ka hoʻopaʻi ʻana iā ia iho, alakaʻi, hana hui, hoʻokele manawa, noʻonoʻo koʻikoʻi, hilinaʻi, a me nā mea hou aku. Ma ke ʻano he kanaka ʻauʻau hoʻokūkū e ulu ana, ua aʻo wau ʻo ka hemahema ka hana mua i ka holomua. I hoʻokahi makahiki, hōʻole ʻole ʻia kaʻu kime relay i kahi hālāwai ma hope o ka haʻalele mua ʻana o kā mākou hoa hui i ka palaka. Ke hana nei mākou i kahi ʻenehana hoʻololi hou i manaʻo ʻino iā mākou a pau. I kona wā kamaliʻi, paʻakikī ka DQ e ale. Ua manaʻo ʻia he mea nui. No laila ua hana mākou me ka luhi ʻole i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana, e ʻeli ana i kā mākou hoʻololi ʻana a hiki i ka manawa like. Ua lawe mākou i kēlā lineup a hiki i ka hoʻokūkū ʻo Illinois, kahi i hoʻonoho ai mākou i ka lima ma ka mokuʻāina.

Ma ke ʻano he hoe koloke, ua aʻo wau i ke ʻano o ka hana a kahi kime ma ke ʻano he hoʻokahi a me ka manaʻo. Hoʻokahi mākou i ka hoe a hakakā hoʻokahi. I ka ʻike ʻana o koʻu poʻe ʻauwaʻa ʻaʻole kūʻē wale ka hana a ko mākou kaʻi akā he wahine, ua mālama mākou i kahi hui a ua hoʻoholo mākou e ʻōlelo. Hoʻōho pinepine ʻo ia i nā ʻōlelo hōʻino iā mākou. ʻO kāna punahele? ʻO ka maʻa "e like me ke kaikamahine" i mea kaua. Ua riled iā mākou. Ma ke ʻano he kāpena, ua hoʻonohonoho au i kahi hālāwai me ia a me ke poʻo o ka papahana hoe e hōʻike i koʻu manaʻo hopohopo. ʻAʻole lākou i hoʻolohe wale; lohe lākou. Ua lilo ʻo ia i kumu aʻo maikaʻi aʻe a lilo mākou i hui maikaʻi aʻe ma ke kaʻina hana. ʻOi aku ma mua o 20 mau makahiki ma hope, kēlā manaʻo malie pā i ko mākou kaiāulu. ʻAʻole ia he mea kupanaha ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ka Always #LikeAGirl me nā wahine he nui.

I kēia manawa, he kukini au. "Holo wikiwiki ʻo Māmā," wahi a kaʻu kaikamahine ke ʻike ʻo ia iaʻu e hoʻopaʻa i kaʻu mau keʻehi. I kekahi manawa e lawe mai ʻo ia i kāna mau kāmaʻa kāmaʻa i oʻu nei a hoʻōho, "Hele wikiwiki wau!" Makemake ʻo ia e holo i luna a i lalo i ke ala ala. "Wikiwiki! Wikiwiki!" uā ʻo ia i kona holo ʻana. Mai noʻonoʻo i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaʻole kekahi o mākou i wikiwiki loa. Holo ʻo ia e like me kahi Muppet, i kēlā me kēia manawa a ma nā wahi āpau e hiki ai iā ia. Akā i ko mākou hele ʻana i ka laina ma ka holoʻO Disney Kids Dash, hopu ʻo ia iaʻu. (Pili: Ua haki wau i kaʻu pahuhopu holo nui ma ke ʻano he makuahine hou he 40 mau makahiki)

"Paʻa iā ʻoe!" wahi āna, e hōʻike ana ua makemake ʻo ia iaʻu e hāpai iā ia. "ʻAʻole ʻoe makemake e holo wikiwiki?" Ua nīnau wau. "I kekahi mau minuke i hala aku nei e holo ana ʻoe me ka ʻuwā ʻana, 'E hele wikiwiki!'"

"ʻAʻole, e paʻa iā ʻoe," wahi āna me ka ʻoluʻolu. No laila, lawe au iā ia ma ka pā. Ua minoʻaka ʻo ia mai ka pepeiao a i ka pepeiao i kā mākou holoholo pū ʻana; e kuhikuhi ana a me ka minoʻaka i ko mākou hoʻokokoke ʻana iā Minnie Mouse i ka pau ʻana. Hāʻawi ʻo ia iā Minnie i kahi pūliki nui (ʻo ia kāna e kamaʻilio nei) a i ka wā i kau ai ka mea manawaleʻa i ka mekala ma kona ʻāʻī, huli mai ʻo ia iaʻu. "E ʻike hou iā Minnie. Holo wau!" Ua hoʻōho ʻo ia."ʻAe, akā, e holo maoli ana ʻoe i kēia manawa?" Ua nīnau wau. "Ae!" ua uē ʻo ia. Ua hoʻokau au iā ia i lalo a ua lele ʻo ia i waho.

Luliluli au i koʻu poʻo, ʻakaʻaka. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu hana Holo paha kaʻu kaikamahine a ʻauʻau a hulahula paha a hana i kekahi haʻuki ʻē aʻe. ʻO kaʻu mea e hiki ai ke hāʻawi iā ia i ka manawa, me ka paipai a me ke kākoʻo. ʻIke au e ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī i kona ulu ʻana, e like me ka hoʻoikaika ʻana o nā hoa a me ka wā ʻōpio. Akā makemake wau e hāʻawi iā ia i kēlā me kēia manawa e kani. ʻO ia ka makuahine tiger i loko oʻu.

Ke nānā aku nei au i kaʻu kaikamahine, ʻike anei au i ka Luna Nui o ka wā e hiki mai ana, ka wahine ʻahaʻōlelo, a i ʻole ka mea pāʻani? ʻOiaʻiʻo, akā ʻaʻole pono. Makemake au iā ia e loaʻa ka koho, inā ʻo ia kāna makemake. Inā ʻaʻohe mea ʻē aʻe, manaʻolana wau e aʻo ʻo ia i ke aloha o ka neʻe ʻana. Manaʻo wau e ulu ikaika ʻo ia, hilinaʻi, a mākaukau, mākaukau e lawe i ka ʻaʻahu wahine e kali nei iā ia. Lana koʻu manaʻo e aʻo ʻo ia e ʻapo i ka holomua a ʻōlelo i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo i ka mana, ʻo kāna kumu aʻo paha, luna a mea ʻē aʻe paha. Manaʻo wau e loaʻa iā ia ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i ka hou, akā ʻaʻole no koʻu makemake iā ia e like me aʻu.

ʻAʻole. Makemake au iā ia e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi.
