11. I think there's a lot of confusion also.

We're number 1! We're the most overstmulated generation to date. iPhones, TV, Internet, books, school, and all that goes with it. It's amazing if any of us find the time to have hobbies.

I'm not sure if the mess is exactly acknowledged by everyone. If you don't explain suffragette history (They honestly don't go into great detail on that.) or heck, if you choose to ignore history, then you're left thinking that everything around you is simply just the way they are and that you have to conform to the mold or you're not really a part of this mold called our society. That's where you bump into the, "nothing needs to be fixed." attitude I think.

But the message to guys is, "women have rights, but we have the power of being the stronger ones naturally." In a sense. Women still get the, "I have to be decoration." message. But there's been a slight change because not everyone is buying into it due to the empowerment we get by being able to be whatever we want... If you're not too poor for college.

Eh, maybe I'm just talking out of my ass, I don't know.
