"Women are human beings, and consequently have all the natural rights that any human beings can have. They have just as good a right to make laws as men have, and no better; AND THAT IS JUST NO RIGHT AT ALL. No human being, nor any number of human beings, have any right to make laws, and compel other human beings to obey them. To say that they have is to say that they are the masters and owners of those of whom they require such obedience."
This is a quote from a piece written by John T. Kennedy. It perfectly describes my feeling towards women's rights. Who has the right to say women can't contribute. Women have fought for there rights and earned them. Sadly, I believe women still don't have the same opportunities that men have today, for various reasons. They have just as much to offer in today's society, I don't get why it took so long for women to become "equal".

I'm glad you smphasize with us. I agree that women are able to contribute. unfortunatly, women are still not 'equal', and it will take a long time for us to ever be truly 'equal'. there are still so many people who are predujuiced against people who are different.
I like the quote.
please excuse my terrible spelling.
