I believe this issue will also be more relevant with the lead up to the 2012 Olympics and the push to improve sports in school

For women‚ the past many years have changed lives‚ careers and family life. Yet the women’s revolution did not remove discrimination from society‚ it only changed certain discriminatory actions into others.
