Oh Start, I will get back to being random when people start pulling their heads out of their a$$. I love you girl.
Listen, I am the first one to speak up and say many thing should change in this country. I am also proactive in being the change that needs to happen. Many people have opinions and perspectives but fail to utilize their lives to help make change happen. I get involved in political campaigns, environmental groups and causes that help children and those that are in need. That being said, there is so much that has happened throughout history that shows that many positive things have happened in this country, and women have been a tremendous part of that.
YOU say there is no need or benefit of feminism. WEll here is a statistic to mull over.
IN 1971, before Title 9, only 7 percent of all high school athletes were women. This being about 295,000 women. AS for women in sports in college, they were almost nonexistent.
By 2001, 41 percent of varsity athletes in high school were women/girls, or 2.8 million. That means that the number of females in sports went up 847 percent since 1971.
This statistic I am referencing is from the National Coalition for women and girls in Education.
Tell the US WOMEN"S SOCCER TEAM THAT THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO WOMEN"S SPORTS MEANS NOTHING..
MOREOVER, it is proven that people (male or female) who are athletes in organized sports, are better students and overall higher achievers. IF you don't think this has an affect on every girl today in high school or in college, well than, you are just PLAIN WRONG!!
Yes, you have a right to your opinion but just remember, (as J9 says so eloquently)OPinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one... doesn't mean they are worth a thing.
Instead of writing about how awful this country is, why don't you do something about it. IT is people like you that put a drain on our society by pointing out everything that is wrong but do NOTHING TO make it right.
By the way, when you are of age to vote, if you don't exercise that right, YOU have no right complaining about anything that goes on politically.
