How Males And Females Are DEFINITELY Equally Represented...
www.debate.org

There is often a debate as to whether males or females are superior. I personally feel that in every way shape and form neither group is superior or inferior to the other. This "battle of the sexes" however seems to be coming to its final conclusion as within this day and age both are represented equally 100 percent of the time. The following list includes just some of the reasons that we should accept that neither is more represented and why we should all just agree that we are equal in every respect.


1. There are no sports teams of any level that specifically have only one gender represented.

If you head to a local sports game you will notice that there is an equal representation of gender. There are not even separate teams for males and females. This actually extends onward to the national level. If you watch any NFL (National Football League), MLB (Major League Baseball), or NBA (National Basketball Association) games you'll notice that, once again, there is an equal representation of both men and women.


2. There is no wage gap whatsoever in the workplace, nor a glass ceiling for that matter.

In all fields of study men and women are equally paid. Men and women also tend to be promoted at the same level of frequency.


3. When a divorce happens between a heterosexual couple who have children gender roles will never bias the decision as to who gains custody.

When such a divorce happens, unless one of the parents actually is unfit (i.e. abusive, incompetent, etc.) all sides and facts will be taken into consideration on this decision. It would be unheard to find one of the two parents more "nurturing" based on their biology.


4. Schools do not enforce dress codes based on archaic gender roles either.

The fact that people would have an issue with clavicles or leggings is purely asinine. That is why I am so relieved that no student has ever been sent home over such trivial matters.


5. When a person is in a relationship and they suffer from abuse people will always believe them, even if they are a male.


6. People also believe that no one would ever lie about being raped, and would never disregard the accusations of a male against someone raped him.

7. It is unheard of to give a gender to inanimate objects.

No person calls a toy a boy toy or a girl toy. It is also unheard of to consider pink and blue to denote genders.


8. People no longer believe in archaic concepts such as "chivalry."

It is immensely looked down upon for a man to pay for a woman on every date, or to always open the door for her, or to always pull a chair out for her, etc.


As you can see our society is on the brink of a revolution of equal rights (or at least it needs to be). I accept this change immensely and I hope that we can eliminate misogyny in its entirety.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
