(529 posts)We don't have to fight as hard as you did for our rights. Plus, the sexists out there have, over the years, made feminism unsexy and if there's anything out there that scares younger women more than being seen as unsexy, I haven't seen it. And apathy, a lot of apathy. Most young women are pro-choice, and want to be paid the same as their male counter-parts, but they just don't vote. They think the parties are too much alike, so there is no point in voting. A lot of young people think that.
The only way to help (that I've seen work) is to keep fighting. Keep speaking out against sexism wherever and whenever you see it. And offer to help others vote, that's what I'm doing. So help me God, I will get my friends, of all genders and colors, to vote if its the last thing I do!
