... example, is a perfect position for a woman interested in serving in the military. There is absolutely no physical strength required. There is no doubt in my mind that a woman can go out and be the best fighter pilot in the United States. Women can also serve as guards in the military.

... on what you may experience in your new lifetime as a college female.

... has its limitations. A good example is the new Disney animated movie Mulan. To be powerful and accomplish her goals, Mulan must pass herself off as a boy.

Other good examples are ... with the television shows and the increasingly thin celebrities, and girls are being shown that to be a feminist, you must be thin and act like a boy.

A male ... that prove the pressure that the male society is under and not ok about talking with.

... . Lastly, the metaphors of "The Whipping" and "Ballad of Birmingham" are different and contribute to differentiate the purposes of the poems.
