I take tomboy to the next level. I’m going to write about gender adversity through sports (I am the only girl kickboxer in my immediate conferencing region and I spar with the boys, and I’ve been playing boys lacrosse since I was 7) and how it has had an impact on my beliefs. I’m a protesting feminist that is a strong proponent in gender equality. </p>
<p>Thanks! C & C is appreciated.
Is anyone applying to the same schools? Same major?</p>
