Life as a Female I am from a world of athletics where women are able to show their abilities on and off the court, field, or stage where women are winning gold medals and meeting the president yet, I am from a world dominated by men where the same exact sport is more exciting watching men than women where big muscles and tall women are unattractive and winning multiple championships mean nothing unless you look like a model I am from the media the movies, the shows, and the internet where female superheroes have beautiful beach waves and hourglass figures they don’t get much screen time but when they do we are sure to notice their skin tight, form fitting body suits yes, i do admit we females have our own shows and movies the little wins, the little wins but does it matter? if what we see as female superheroes are women who wear bathing suits and mini skirts what is the point if no matter what women are objects of sex
