Are we a powerful generation of women?

[wolfcat87]

Are we currently part of or witnessing a powerful generation of high achieving, powerful women with abilities and opportunities like never before to make the world a better place for future women?

"World Cup champion Aitana Bonmatí hailed a “powerful generation of women” on Monday in accepting FIFA’s award as best female soccer player."

"Marta, who played in her sixth Women’s World Cup last year, was presented a career-achievement award and Marcia Aoki, who is Pelé’s widow, was on stage to present it.

The 37-year-old Marta urged the audience to “search every day” for ways to improve equality, especially for women.

“Try to make the world better for everyone. That’s my message to everyone, to every person who has the power (to make changes),” Marta added, before motioning to Hermoso as an example. “The next generations will thank you for that.”

No

Maybe

Women are getting the opportunities to grow and succeed now. More women are going to and graduating university for example. The climate today is one that is a lot more open to accepting the fact that overall, men and women are both humans and equal. You give people the opportunities and environment to succeed and they will. Genitalia doesn't dictate that.

It's a time when women are more visible and publicly appreciated. More promoted (which also has a dark side). But it doesn't mean they didn't exist earlier or achieve great things earlier...

No. We're victims of propaganda in the West that wants women to believe they can do anything men can do - except we're designed to do different things.

Judaism and Christianity call it being "suitable" for each other. The Ancient Greeks had the concept of Janus, the god with two faces, and the legend that mankind originally was both in one, making them so powerful Zeus was afraid so he split them into two, male and female, with a single soul - soulmates.

And although it's taken 70 years, women - and to a lesser extent men - have mostly been convinced that it's somehow demeaning for a woman to spend her life working in the home, teaching her children to be truly great, and instead it's "liberating" to spend her freedom working in a situation where she's expendable for little above minimum wage selling her body to a string of men who will use her until she's totally spent instead of one man who will honour and protect her body with his own for as long as he draws breath.

There's no genuine power in going to a job

I don't think it is something new...

I've been coughing and tutoring and mentoring kids and teens for almost 20 years... (since I was 12 myself) many of them being girls and a lot of them being capable women... one of them even made it to these World Cups too

[NathanDavis]

Coaching soccer... lol

[Brokenheartedx]

Womens rights are being taken away by men who want to be called women
Dunno about Yankee land but in uk its no longer breastfeeding its to be called chestfeeding instead and apparently men have periods too and if that's not bad enough a rapist pretending to be a woman was to be put inside a womans jail

So make the most of powerful Wem they are being replaced by perverts dressing up in crap clothes pretending to be women

[Billlewis]

Yes, absolutely, and I think it's fantastic.

Women are weaker today than ever before. Their character sucks and they lack integrity. Yes, they have achieved a lot, but they are letting those achievements go to their heads.

Also, when men do something women do not approve of, the women of today feel like they need to try to ruin a man's life instead of being mature and just walking away.

Look at the rise of only fans and fake gym victims. Women today are brats who think they are entitled to things they have not earned.

Women have more opportunities today and more possibility to develop. On the other hand, the feminist movements cause damage.

[strateguy632]

in the 1960 also women had winners in women competition.

nothing new except, we can't write stuff or it will get censored even if we wrote.

[Squatting_Slav]

I think throughout history there have been many powerful women though, the Greek Spartan women ran the country. One of the most feared warriors, search khutulun a mongolian warrior princess she was a badass

[Ashley1993]

I don't really consider any sports person as "Great" or an Ideal person but I get your point

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Women definitely have more opportunities to succeed in their pursuits compared to the past, but overall women aren't close to position of power.

[Dargil]

What will make the world a better place is when women begin staying home to build intact families because they can afford to. Re-elect TRUMP!

[Snakeyes7]

Women have been accomplishing things for ages.

[Tatsrsx]

Yes. Therefore society is failing. Women aren’t having enough kids because they’re too distracted trying to be men.

[wolfcat87]

8 billion people on the planet seems to be more than enough, the world population isn't shrinking yet.

I guess you are
