In today's day and age, women have more possibilities than we have ever had before. We can vote, hold office, make just as much money as our male counterparts, and be just as successful.

Yet the world is still full of stereotypes that weigh us down.

It is still weird for a girl to want to study physics and math instead. It is still weird for a girl to want to become a CEO. A man feels threatened if his wife or girlfriend earns more money than him, or owns her own apartment, or has a better education. Yet a woman is not allowed to express that she might feel the same threat if the situation was reversed.

As a gender, we may be equal in the practical sense, but we are still unequal in the emotional sense.

The woman's movement of the 60s resulted in massive change - the right to abortion, equal pay and suffrage. It was a movement of thousands of women, who were impassioned and inspired to make a change.

So why has this passion dwindled?

A wise person once said that "The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed." Women are now just as educated and successful as men. Why do we not rise up and fight against stereotypes? Why are we content to just sit back, and not strive for the changes we seek?

Our mind is the best mechanism we have to initiate change. Why don't we use it?
