Well, I must say, im glad people are taking this issue seriously.
You know, I DO read all of your posts, but this one was VERY special to me.
Lots of girls in my school joke about being raped, because they hear from “yahoo answers” that if someone touches you in any place for more than 7 seconds and you dont like it, its considered a rape. i think its pathetic that girls would treat such a serious matter like that, its not that funny! If only every girl could understand and even read what happens. but im not blaming every girl, guys do it too, and not everyone does it.
Anyways, so, after reading this post, I was looking around online for ways that I could donate to this, but then i thought:
WHY DON’T I SPONSOR BECAUSE I AM A GIRL!?
my sister and I were thinking of ideas to raise money for womens rights and respect in ifferent parts of the world, and if other girls see what were doiung, they might just take this matter a little more seriously.
