I think it is ridiculous that in a country that shouts "Freedom!" and "Equality!" from the rooftops is not fully supportive of either of those things.  Some people get scholarships for their ethnic backgrounds and some people get to marry their partners (the list goes on, of course).  Some people...but not all people.  It's ok to say "black power" but racist to say "white power" so why can't we just say "people power"?  Do you understand what healthy feminism is?  It's creating equality amongst all levels in society.  You must work yourself to the top.  Everyone has the ability to work their way to the top, and if a factor is misplaced due to your work ethic being poor, or your street being dangerous, or even physical or mental disabilities THERE ARE STILL WAYS TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS.  It doesn't matter what your goal is (I just hope it's positive), there is always a way to achieve it!  Go big or...give up?  Shoot no!  When you get tired of fighting, take a break or (what I've found to be the best thing to do) keep fighting!  It's that wall of difficulty that you must break through.  If you stop when it gets too hard, that means you're almost there! 

Serendipity #3: When the tough gets tougher...you gotta be the toughest!  (I say this is serendipity because it just came to me!)
