Did you know that it is thought that one in three girls are likely to be involved in violence just because they are girls? How about that two thirds of children that don't go to school are girls? Or that even in the United Nations, only thirty percent of the delegates are female? Is anyone else seeing a very common occurance? Although is does seem like in the past sixty years or so, there is still major differences between men and woman, and why? To be honest, we don't know why. Is it fair to question to ourselves will the world ever change? Will it ever improve? Or are we just expecting to much? I don't think so, but others probably do.
Re-reading this, you probably expect me, writer #1 to be a full out femenist. I'm not, but I consider myself to be a little bit of one. I don't think our expectations are that high. Besides, we are not just thinking of ourselves, our hopes that no girl would have to sacrifice her education to provide for her famly. That no girl is killed for 'bringing shame to her family.' That no man ever raises a hand against a woman, gender inequality is more common that you probably think, but look around carefully in our western society, if you look closely, while there are improvements, we still have a long way to go.

Sincerly,
Writer #1
