Pretty Butch
by Tan Liting
"I knew that there were different rules for being a boy and for being a girl. You always let kor kor go to the playground by himself, but you always said it wasn’t safe for a girl to go out on her own. It was so unfair. Kor kor and I literally share the same blood, why did he get more privileges than I?"
Penned by one of Singapore's talented new writers, Tan Liting, Pretty Butch confronts gender expectations, following three stories of Singaporeans and how they deals with the concepts of masculinity in their lives.
