Education holds the keys to a successful future. So why is it that women should not have the same opportunities as men? It boggles the mind to think that in the past women options after high school graduation were limited strictly to getting married, staying at home and raising children.

The stress of achieving academic success can be overwhelming in college. Women deserve the right to have a safe learning environment, minus the gropes and inappropriate gestures (passes) made by fellow male students. These actions are not only unwelcome, but also disturbing to have to endure day after day. Women should not be embarrassed to speak their minds in class. Everyone has different opinion, so why should so many women feel like they couldn't express their views on the economy, abortion, welfare and other topics that affect our world? Concerning athletics, male athletes get first pick at classes, more privileges and more help from universities than women athletes do. Even with an increase of interest in women's basketball and soccer, the sports world is still male dominated in today's society. For the reason that education is so important, a non-discriminatory learning and working area is necessary for a successful academic career.
Freedom of sexuality is one of the most controversial issues facing our society today. The clash of beliefs concerning what is and what isn't acceptable is constantly stirring up trouble. Not surprisingly, women are at the center of this controversy. Its seems that in this day and age, a woman cannot be comfortable in her sexuality strictly because she is afraid of stepping on someone's .
