ES I posted several different stats. It was not my intention to just post one point of view but several. It was up to the PT people to offer their opinion,there by getting a cross section opinion from over the world and different ages and economic levels. That is why I kept asking others to post stats as well. Here are some facts now lets have opinions. Just as the judge in the south will not let the bi-racial couple get married there are different thoughts accross different areas of the country. I don't believe the judge is dumb or evil it's just the way he was brought up. He doesn't even think what he is doing is wrong. But to us, it's just disgusting. Being racist is a opinion and what you and I find wrong others do not.
Anyway......
As for young girls being able to travel and have fun. It is my hope that young women are able to. Men have so many oppertunites. For my daughter and her friends I hope and pray that they get the chance to do all those wonderful things before getting married and having children. Getting an education and being able to take care of one self is such a joy.
Getting your own apartment, painting the whole thing pink if you want, not having to ask a man what he wants for dinner, having to fold his cloths, or spending your weekend doing what he wants. Learning to be truly your own person. Those first few nights alone, begin afraid of sounds in the middle of the night, going home to an empty apartment on a cold, dark night. Scary, but then you do it and you find such strength and pride that you can take care of yourself. You are a strong, single independent women and the world is yours to take. Sat mornings laying in bed with three men, Ben and Jerry and Steve King. Oh heavely!!
Once you live alone for a year you find strength, confidence, courage you never knew you had plus a huge dose of pride.
If you go back to some of my old posts you will see that I have always said I believe a young girl should wait to have children. I don't think that having a baby in the teens or early 20's is an ideal situation. I have always been for women's rights. For any person man, women, black, white, straight, gay making their life the best they can, educating themselves so that they can take care of themselves and live a productive life. No one grows up saving I want to be poor, hungrey, and cold. We all have hopes and dreams and everyone is entitled to them.
Education is the key, with education nothing is impossible. I don't think that bringing a child into the world when you are not capable of taking care of yourself is good especially the child.
Children should be able to look up to their parents, have pride in them, have them as role models but when they are too young and uneducated the children start out with strikes against them. No child needs that.
