Man I just came across this contest and see that the deadline has ended. will you be doing any more competitions like this in the future?
As this appears to be a very woman centric account, are men precluded from entering the competition? Would it be a disadvantage to winning if I have a penis?
I think womens rights are very important as I raise two independent and confident young girls into this world. I want them to have the fairest and best opportunities available and there should be no reason why they do not have the most equal opportunities afforded to them. I work in a very fair and equitable environment which is actually female dominated at over 85% and believe that equality is important and I value this very much.
My concern is that you may be driving the gender bias even further by focussing only on women’s rights when it appears that you are trying to close the gap between genders? Maybe your next competition could be opened up to include significant men who have forged a way forward for womens rights as there are may examples of this occurring across the globe. Thanks for creating a great competition and I look forward to entering the next one.
