“I think I might love you Ms. Day. :-) Thank you so much for giving the women of tomorrow hope. As a teenage girl, I can tell you that I feel sexism EVERYWHERE. I feel it when I go out, when all the boys and men gawk at my conservatively dressed ass. I feel it when they hoot and holler and suggest lewd things at me. I feel it when I run to my boyfriend or parents, and they insist it’s just because I’m pretty!! I should take it as a compliment! I should take LIVING IN CONSTANT FEAR as a compliment! I feel it at school, where I’m encouraged in literature and arts but not math. I like math! Too bad I’ve never had a female math teacher to help me out. I’ve tried to go to tutoring sessions, only to get bullied into silence with, "You still don’t get it? Well you are a girl. That’s to be expected.” I’m tired of media telling me what to look like, society telling me how to act, and everyone telling me that’s just how the world is! I was made to be a helper, I will become a great wife one day! This went on much longer than I expected, sorry. Bottom line, thank you for giving me someone (even over the internet) who believes I’m more than what’s in between my legs, and I’m not crazy for feeling discrimination. This means everything to me.“
