Voting is insanely crucial, even in primaries like this one coming up this Tuesday, Nov. 4th. We could use a little more balance in politics.
As a writer from Ms. Magazine pointed out:
“Women make up less than a quarter of Congress and hold five governorships, ranking us behind Afghanistan, Cuba and Saudi Arabia. At the current rate, women won’t reach political parity until 2121!” (O’Neil, 2014)
And, to end this article, I’d like to add this video. Although I’m not a huge fan of Lil Jon, this video is pretty awesome.
