G.D. Anderson once said that "Feminism isn't about making women strong. Women are already strong. It's about changing the way the world perceives that strength."

This matters because it shows the corrupt state that America is in and the fact that these issues have been around for awhile with obvious reasons why they are bad and yet, they still aren't
