1. Do you think you are treated differently because you are a man or woman?
Yes, I'm patronised, ignored, and called a stupid bitch or hysterical when I disagree with a man or I prove him wrong, especially at work.

2. Do men or women have it easier in our culture? Why do you think so?
I think men have it easier because there are less restrictions on them. They're also less raped, murdered, abused by a spouse. They get better pay, less work hours.

3. Do you think girls are raised differently from boys? If so, in what ways?
Yes, women are still raised to not go into sciences, not have great careers, to think of keeping a home, getting married, having children, to be less than a man, to be catty with other women instead of supporting each other. All the things that keep them in a certain position in society and make room for men to have all the main roles, even if they don't deserve them.

4. Do you think women should take men's last names when they marry? Why or why not? No. I think if you don't have children there is no point and if you do have children creating a new last name or hyphening is best to show that parents believe in equality.

5. Do you think a woman will be President of the United States in the near future?
No. Not even if the people want one. I think that US and Australian politics have been rigged recently and I'm not sure why. Both have unwanted idiots in power and the aim seems to be unsettling the countries. Australia, because it doesn't have a Bill of Rights, is slipping fast into a police state because of the interference. I do wonder if it's payback for all the times we've interfered in other countries government elections.
