Do you think Millennial women are complacent when it comes to women's rights ?

Would you need data to answer this question ?


In my opinion the answer to both question are Hell NO!

Millennial women are fighting as hard as their predecessors to ensure that women have total control over their bodies and seen as equals.

So why would the chairwoman of a DNC say such a thing ? Why would HRC during forum when asked state she needs data ?


Clinton is asked if she agrees with DWS that women of this generation are "complacent." Clinton's answer: "I don't have any data." #DemForum

Really ?

It isn't because they don't care, but more because young people believe that once a law has been made, it's there. They just assume that us older gals fought for it, we got it and now it is set in stone.

but I've seen little evidence that most really understand what is at risk.

Women are less likely than men to want full equality between the sexes, research by a feminist pressure group reveals.

The poll for the Fawcett Society showed that 86 per cent of men wish for women to have exactly the same opportunities.

But only 81 per cent of women say they want equality for themselves or the other women in their families.

---

It also found that equality is less popular among the younger generation who are at an age when they are trying to build careers, pay mortgages and start families.

Among people in their late 20s and early 30s, the share calling for full equality dropped below 78 per cent.
