GCSE English Spoken Exam tomorrow!!

So, I've got my GCSE spoken language exam tomorrow and I don't think my opening is powerful enough. I guess it's a bit late to be asking this now though haha. My speech is about how the phrase "boys will be boys" affects boys and how the patriarchy is hurting men too. (probably should have chosen a simpler topic to be fair haha). So I start with:

"Boys will be boys". Unequivocally, our society is inequitable, prejudiced and discriminatory."

However, I reference "boys will be boys" later on in the speech, so I'd like a different opening that will shock the audience.

Thanks in advance!

"Boys will be boys" (pause for like a sec to give impact) a common phrase repeated daily by the mouths of females who don't the know the effects and impact this 4 worded statement can make'
