I am a student. I have moderate political views, and I am Christian-though rarely do I step inside a church. However, above all of this I am an opinionated girl, one who is also stubborn. If I come across an issue, I will debate with people who do not share my views. I will constructively criticize other pieces. I refrain from ad homonym arguments. So what's the problem? According to some people I have come across, I may not voice my opinion because when I do, it is too "blunt" for a woman . Where's the problem so long as my bluntness is tactful? Now I've made my arguments steadily, backed them with evidence, and then am told I am wrong...If I tell my answer to a male cohort, and he says what I say verbatim it is"brilliant". Apparently it is more appropriate for the male gender to be blunt. Is this why we've never seen the woman? Throughout history we hear about the male brilliance, and we hear about women who use their bodies to gain things. This is not a great woman entirely. My personal freedom of speech is allowed, but my personal freedom to have those views accepted remains squashed in some respect. So what about these women? Let us look back... Attempting to see the opinions of many a great man....and see if you can find the women behind it. Think for example of Hilary, who backed Bill...it is the reason for which that in my eyes she is running for a 3rd term at presidency. A great woman. Separate the queens, and god chosen, and see if you can look through the untainted eyes. I am an opinionated girl, who hopes to become a great woman. What's the problem with me voicing my opinions without backing a man?



I totally understand what you're saying. I go through that from time to time. I do call people out when I'm ignored. It's gotten a lot better. Just keep at it. Call some people out for ignoring you. Be rude if you have to. I'm very blunt and completely honest to a fault. It's part of my charm. ;)
