Girls Run the World!

2/24/2025

For centuries, power and leadership have largely been shaped by men. Some argue that this has led to cycles of war, inequality, and imbalance, while others believe the issue isn’t gender but the way power itself is structured. As the world evolves, more women are stepping into leadership, bringing new perspectives, solutions, and ways of thinking.

Let's Write! The image above says, "The future is female." Is it? Why or why not? If not, for centuries, different men have been in power, yet the results have remained the same, so what would change if we continue being (mis)lead by men?

It matters in my opinion because it is important to consider everything that was ancient centuries to real life meaning to keep out from the positions of their power back then. Many people believed that it was time for women to have a greater society.

Instead of thinking that the future will be run by women we should be thinking how women and men can work together to make the future better. The main reason why men are misleading is because they themselves are mislead. If there are well educated men not willing to step up to the plate then of course a well educated woman should be allowed to if she is willing.

Sanchez A 3A

2/27/2025 10:26:43 am

I agree how woman and men should work together and make the future better. Some men are uneducated and misled so they are not up to the task of leading people to the future and woman is most likely more capable to or a better man.

Echeverria D 6b

2/28/2025 10:03:19 am

I also belive men and woman should work together to make the world a better place by giveing each other advice.

Salgado M. 1A

2/27/2025 10:36:34 am

I agree. Many men have lead and have shown to be unqualified for their positions. That doesn't necessarily mean that women could do it better, but many times men have been given their postions in place of women who have shown they have actual potention just because they are men. We should look at the actual abilities of candidates and not just pick based on gender.

rivera d 4a

2/27/2025 10:54:12 am

you are right leadership should be based on capability not gender and the focuse should be on men and women working together to make a positive change.

Luster J 3A

2/27/2025 11:18:09 am

I agree that men and women should work together but as history shows men don't listen. Men are misled because they want to be, there is plenty of information out there to better themselves. But they chose to ignore it. It's time for women to take a stance and make them understand.

Teniente J. 1A

2/27/2025 11:22:06 am

Having power doesn't have to be one-sided at all but instead both gender have power to make a difference, so I agree that working together will make both sides happy.

Victorino H 8B

2/28/2025 10:01:47 am

I agree as both genders working together equally will have the power to make a difference.

Divine Ojeh 3A

2/27/2025 12:29:25 pm

I agree, collaborating could lead to good benefits for both genders.

Knowles K 1A

2/28/2025 10:54:11 pm

Absolutely when both parties can both together to reach a common goal the world can be in a better place

younger, k 1A

2/27/2025 03:51:11 pm

I agree with you about collaboration. It's not about one gender taking over but about both men and women working together to create a better future. When well-educated individuals, regardless of gender, step up to lead, we can achieve more balanced and effective leadership. It's all about giving everyone a fair chance.

Oliver K 1A

2/28/2025 06:15:58 pm

i agree with this, because alot of people seperate us based on gender rather than judging us based on our charater. We should work together to get closer to equality

Sinkfield, E 1A

2/28/2025 11:33:19 pm

That’s a great solution, trying to have coexisting structures with men and women. Education plays a huge role in this as well. If you’re qualified, you’re qualified, plain and simple.

Fuentez M 3A

3/1/2025 11:33:41 am

I agree , men are not well educated on how they should be . They should both help one another out to help lead a better country

Sanchez A 3A

2/27/2025 10:24:10 am

I think more people should help consider who should be leading the future. Not only one gender has to be in control of everything both genders can come together and successfully guide the people to the future.

Salgado M. 1A

2/27/2025 10:39:57 am

Exactly. Considering that women are 50% of the population (more or less depending on where), they are also human and should have a say in their own issues that men don't exactly understand. If men and women who are fit for public postions come together to help eachother and get a better understanding in each others issues and the societal issues as a whole that go past gender, then we could actually see some progress.

rivera d 4a

2/27/2025 10:52:12 am

I don't disagree with you although I feel as if women have more of a opened mind than men, but they can come together and make the fututre better for everyone.

Teniente J. 1A

2/27/2025 11:20:58 am

I agree, having both sides work together will be beneficial in a long run where more ideas can be shaped which make the United states better or the world as a whole.

Victorino H 8B

2/28/2025 09:57:45 am

I agree as the future shouldn't be led by one gender but by both working together.

Knowles K 1A

2/28/2025 10:54:59 pm

Exactly we need to work together to make sure that the future is in a better place than it is now

Christopher M 6B

2/28/2025 10:00:23 am

I agree most people go by the persons persona but never by the way they run and handle future

Eden Esquivel 1A

2/28/2025 09:11:26 pm

Yes, both genders can work together especially for the good of the future.

Miles D 4A

2/28/2025 11:49:19 pm

Absolutely, the future shouldn't be made into a discusion of gender but who is qualified and who is willing to work with whoever and make it work out.

Salgado M. 1A

2/27/2025 10:33:54 am

The people in power should be determined by public trust and ability, not by gender. The gender of out leaders and candidates should not be a factor in decision. Many men have led, and have shown to be bad at it, many women have had the opportunity to lead, but were denied the chance. Whether or not the leaders we have are male or female, it doesn't matter as long as they have what it takes to actually lead. I don't think the future should be aligned to any specific gender, but rather more equal amount of both coming together to give ideas and contribute to development. The ratio of men to women might be inequal but that's not what matters. What matters is who's leading.

Luster J 3A

2/27/2025 11:20:02 am

This is said perfectly but what happens when the most qualified people get denied for being a woman. I agree that gender shouldn't determine who leads us, it should be skill. But it's shown many times that's not the way times are.

Colocho J 6B

2/27/2025 12:03:09 pm

The author believed the ability and trust should definitely take place leadership.

Divine Ojeh 3A

2/27/2025 12:30:13 pm

I agree, it doesn't matter which gender it has to be but they got to have an ability to make positive changes.

younger, k 1A

2/27/2025 03:52:41 pm

You make a great point about evaluating candidates based on their abilities rather than their gender. Many qualified women have been overlooked simply because they are women, and that's not fair. We should focus on the skills and potential of each individual, ensuring that the best person for the job gets the opportunity to lead, regardless of gender. This approach will lead to better and diverse leadership.

Thompson D 8B

2/28/2025 08:59:33 am

Leadership should be based on trust and ability, not gender. Both men and women have shown potential, but many women were denied the chance to lead. The future shouldn’t favor one gender but strive for balance, where diverse leaders contribute to progress. What matters is who leads, not their gender.

Oliver K 1A

2/28/2025 09:32:43 am

Good point about choosing our elected officals for what they can do rather than their gender. Theres tons of more than qualified women that have not even considered because they arent a man.

Castillo V, 6B

2/28/2025 07:07:38 pm

I agree the public shouldn’t turn down someone because of their gender they should hear both sides then decide which they think is best.

Eden Esquivel 1A

2/28/2025 09:12:39 pm

Exactly! It shouldn't matter the gender, women have shown that they have the ability to step up but are rejected because of their gender.

Carmouche K 1A

2/28/2025 10:44:22 pm

Public trust and the ability to lead matters the most, whether you are a leader or not you are going to make mistakes, because we are human, all of us. We need to give the right people the chance to lead the correct way

rivera d 4a

2/27/2025 10:49:14 am

The future female isn't about replacing men but about reshaping ledership to be more balanced. History shown that when power is concentrated to one group ( mainly men ) cycles of war insists. more women in leadership cann bring fresh perspectives and change making the future not just female but fairer to everyone.

Sanchez A 3A

2/27/2025 10:51:17 am

I agree we shouldn't replace men put add in the woman so it can create a balance. Men have been most of the causes of wars in past history, and there needs to be a fairer future.

Kendell Hurrington 4A

2/27/2025 11:44:28 am

This is very true, as we move forward, our mindsets become less toxic and its very likely that gender constructs may be irrelevant in the next 10-15 years. We need less bigotry and better leadership.

Thompson D 8B

2/28/2025 08:57:28 am

I completely agree! The future isn’t about replacing men but creating balanced leadership. History shows that concentrated power mainly among men fuels cycles of war and inequality. More women in leadership bring fresh perspectives, making the future not just female, but fairer for everyone.

Alarcon A 3A

2/28/2025 08:58:07 am

I agree we should consider reshaping leadership so that everyone has a fair chance to take on the role along with bringing leadership from a different perspective/side.

Castillo V, 6B

2/28/2025 07:09:05 pm

I agree, bringing women can lead to new and fresh perspectives and can make a change in the future.

Mijangos A, 4A

2/28/2025 08:45:32 pm

I agree, it should not be about replacing men but to fix their wrongdoings and work together for a better future

Carmouche K 1A

2/28/2025 10:46:00 pm

Making leadership roles equal can be a step in the right direction, many people are close minded and reserved, this is part of the reason why we haven’t seen action today.

Cavazos N 6B

2/28/2025 11:40:12 pm

I agree that it is important to see things from a new perspective.

Luster J 3A

2/27/2025 11:16:25 am

"The future is female", times have always been female, the future is just their well deserved recognition. For centuries men have been the face of power, they have always been the ones controlling things. But have they really controlled it? Behind every man there is a woman who supports him, a woman who raised him, a woman who's work has been taken and presented by a man. Woman have always had power and are always making history, but the future is time to recognized those who have been hidden. The future is the time to stop letting men take praise for work that's not theirs.

Kendell Hurrington 4A

2/27/2025 11:42:41 am

This is very true! the story of a mother working tirelessly just to raise as weak minded man who disregards her and other woman has been old and needs to end. Now more then ever, women have voices and peers to group with in order to make change. its very likely that once the boomers and old generation of now die out, the women will gain influence, or even now they can usurp the outdated gray guys!

Palacios R 1A

2/28/2025 10:25:36 am

Yes, I've seen mothers help shape the character of the men and children who go on to lead, create, and contribute to the world positively and should be an influence for others.

Rodriguez R. 4A

2/28/2025 12:49:06 pm

Well said, there's a woman's impact on mostly everything or to a person.

Fuentez M 3A

3/1/2025 11:32:11 am

Agreeing with what you say , women have always been around but they aren’t really there . Men always take the charge and always been the face while women are not . There is always going to be a woman behind them a woman who is always next to them. But they are never recognized. Why can’t him and his wife be recognized.

Teniente J. 1A

2/27/2025 11:19:42 am

Both genders should both have a saying and engagement that involves power or decision making than making one gender a sole focus on a certain area. We need both genders to work together in the work field on economic, especially the political aspect. Its gonna be hard since many view woman as weak when making tough decisions when in reality we never gave them a chance to make one.

Torres. C 3/A

2/27/2025 12:15:45 pm

Power is very important when It comes to the matter of discussion of gender.

Stevenson J,8B link

2/27/2025 02:45:33 pm

I agree women and girls represent half of the world's population and, therefore, also half of its potential. Gender equality, besides being a fundamental human right, is essential to achieve peaceful societies, with full human potential and sustainable development.

Echeverria D B

2/28/2025 10:05:48 am

Also i think In essence, the future is not about one gender leading over another; it is about creating a partnership where both women and men contribute their unique strengths to achieve a common goal of a better, more equitable world.

Kendell Hurrington 4A

2/27/2025 11:38:35 am

Seeing as the image states "Female" as in ones sex, I can defiantly see a Fem dominated world in our future. for centuries Males have created systems of government, and society that inherently put them ahead. but with the intellect and determination of the Fem spirit, we have seen many females rise In the ranks and dominate their fields. I terms of what that future may bring, I have no real clue, but I'm inclined to believe that if the right people are at the top, then we will see less bigotry and finally move past the toxic mindsets like "Life isn't fair" etc.

Colocho J 6B

2/27/2025 12:04:06 pm

They're intelligent also and believe that this will lead to a more forming opinion.

Torres. C 3/A

2/27/2025 12:14:31 pm

I agree, Woman and Men specialize in two seperate fields.

Rodriguez R. 4A

2/28/2025 12:45:36 pm

I agree, with the right people at the top there will be less toxic mindsets.

Emmanuel A, 1A

2/27/2025 11:57:32 am

I don't believe that this world is becoming more female orientated, but more centralized when it comes to what gender can lead a nation. There have been female social leaders in the past but the entire world is just adapting to female leaders. There won't be any changes to the world if men kept ruling, seeing as there nothing different now.

Torres. C 3/A

2/27/2025 12:13:50 pm

That is a terrible phrase and expression. Why would this be a topic of discussion? The future should not be lead by just men or just woman, It should be led by both, it two seperate fields.

Cozine S, 3A

2/27/2025 12:26:58 pm

Me personally I think that anybody can do anything I think it structured that men are more strong and do all the heavy lifting, but in society now this is way different and female can do the same and even more than men.

Divine Ojeh 3A

2/27/2025 12:28:38 pm

Power doesn't have to be one sided, both genders have the ability to create change. I agree that collaboration leads to mutual progress and satisfaction.

Palacios R 1A

2/27/2025 02:11:47 pm

Both men and women have a mix of traditionally masculine and feminine traits that can be strengths or weaknesses. It's important to how both are needed and valuable in leadership, teamwork, and personal relationships.

Stevenson J,8B link

2/27/2025 02:32:33 pm

we must look to the female archetype, for alternative forms of leadership

Alarcon A 3A

2/28/2025 08:54:26 am

I agree we should have some sort of change if we are looking towards a better future where both men and women can work together and stand on equal footing.

Dralyn Stephens 4A

2/27/2025 02:39:07 pm

The phrase “The future is female” is both a declaration of progress and a challenge to the status quo. Historically, leadership has been dominated by men, and while some have led with wisdom and integrity, many systems of power have been shaped by violence, oppression, and inequality. The persistence of war, economic disparities, and social injustices suggests that traditional power structures—largely male-led—have failed to create a more just and equitable world.

younger, k 1A

2/27/2025 03:47:55 pm

The idea of a future led by women is awesome, but it's important that everyone, no matter if they're a man or a woman get a chance at leadership. If only guys are in charge, we might keep facing the same problems we've been dealing with for a minute now. But if we let everyone take the lead, we can come up with new ideas and solutions to make things better for all of us. It's not just about being a man or a Woman it's about treating everyone fairly and giving them an equal chance.

Lopez M 1A

2/28/2025 10:28:48 am

It is very important to let everyone have a chance to be in leadership roles because we can discover new ideas, inventions, or mindsets. Allowing us to find that balance can help everyone flourish and help us resolve problems that we have been having for years.

Aiyanyo E 3A

2/28/2025 10:02:47 pm

I agree that no matter what gender leads the future, problems could still arise no matter who is in charge. Men or women. As a society, we should all come together to fix our problems for a better future.

Flores A 4A

2/27/2025 05:26:44 pm

The future should be lead by both men and women since both can bring more ideas to the table. Excluding one gender or the other can lead and has lead to one sided ideals and beliefs.

Thompson D 8B

2/28/2025 08:45:59 am

Others believe the key isn’t female leadership alone, but rather a balance of perspectives. The issue may not be gender but how power is distributed and used. A more inclusive approach where leadership reflects diverse experiences could break cycles of inequality.

Alarcon A 3A

2/28/2025 08:51:58 am

Leadership can be taken on by anyone We need to work towards a better future in which we also include women to take on places involving leadership, I have seen men take leadership and not fit the role we shouldn't have a future where women are overlooked. Instead, we should work together to make a future we can be proud of. If we were to continue being misled by men we would live in a world of war and chaos, I've seen men in leadership positions in which they dont seem qualified.

Lopez M 1A

2/28/2025 10:26:11 am

I have also seen instances where men in those leadership positions are clearly not qualified but there's a woman who is much more qualified than them but there's some who would rather have someone who's not qualified than someone who is just because of their gender.

Alvarez J 8B

2/28/2025 10:33:44 am

I agree, men have been in a position of power just because of the fact that they are men. Women who have worked hard for a position of power always get overlooked because of their gender and the people in charge who get to decide if they fit the role which are mostly men believe they aren't fit to lead.

Garcia M 3A

2/28/2025 08:57:50 am

Historically, male-dominated leadership has led to cycles of inequality and conflict, so increasing female leadership could bring more balance, collaboration, and inclusive decision-making. However, the solution isn’t just replacing men with women but creating a system where leadership is diverse and based on merit rather than gender. A better future is one where all genders contribute equally, shaping a more just and equitable society.

Palacios R 1A

2/28/2025 10:16:15 am

If they keep saying being led by mainly men without addressing the systemic issues and not helping each other, it will just create a bad influence.

Ramirez M 6B

2/28/2025 01:21:45 pm

If we leave everything to men us women wont have an opportunity to show what we are capable of, when in reality us women most times are smarter then men.

Curlee A, 4A

2/28/2025 06:39:14 pm

Exactly, diversity is the solution here. We cannot have a society truly ruled by one gender, as that causes imbalance. Only with both genders working together can this dynamic work.

Cavazos N 6B

2/28/2025 11:34:36 pm

Increasing female representation can help us view things from a new perspective.

Oliver K 1A

2/28/2025 09:12:23 am

I think what people need to start doing is instead of focusing on one being better than the other we should work towards a goal of us all being equal. People everyday kick each other down based on our genders and not based on our capablies as a person. We as a whole will never change unless we are able to come together and stand up for each other. The future should be run by those who are capable, and based on worring if they're a man or woman.

Frank Jimenez 6B

2/28/2025 10:16:34 am

True, not everything has to be categorized as men and women but one thing to debate is that not everything is for men and not everything is for women.

Gonzalez S 4A link

2/28/2025 11:27:40 pm

I completely agree with you, we should all have an opportunity to lead no matter who or what we are. Our future depends on those who are truly capable of leadership.

Miles D 4A

2/28/2025 11:52:28 pm

I agree we shouldn't focus on what gender should be in charge or who is better but rather who is qualified and capable of making good decisions for our future.

Victorino H 8B

2/28/2025 09:50:59 am

I don't agree with this statement because the future shouldn't be led by one gender but by both men and woman working together, as it would just lead to the same thing that is happening right now, and besides the people leading us shouldn't be based on gender but their abilities.

Hernandez I 6b

2/28/2025 10:15:19 am

I agree. I think It should be balanced

Ramirez M 6B

2/28/2025 01:20:16 pm

I agree we should all be treated equally and balanced out as a women or men.

Frank Jimenez 6B

2/28/2025 10:15:28 am

Same, Both of them make historical events and mistakes. As equal as everyone the least thing this world needs is both doubting each other for their gender and power.

Alvarez J 8B

2/28/2025 10:30:43 am

The statement doesn't necessarily mean that it'll just be led by one gender. It means that more women will have as much power as men and we would see more female leaders.

Tomas Ruiz 6b

2/28/2025 03:59:56 pm

If both men and women work together, and find a possible solution that both parties can agree in, then it would bring a balance.

Christopher M 6B

2/28/2025 09:57:06 am

I agree on the fact that the future is mostly going to be in-powered by the female gender but that doesn't meant it will be perfect because many times men can lead people the wrong way but the same can go both ways

Tomas Ruiz 6b

2/28/2025 03:57:56 pm

true that, even if society was ruled by the female gender. it's most likely it would still play out the same as today at some point in time.

Echeverria D 6B

2/28/2025 09:59:03 am

Rather than placing the future solely in the hands of women, we should emphasize the power of collaboration between women and men to drive meaningful change. Often, men who lead poorly have themselves been misguided. When educated men fail to take action, it is essential to empower and support educated women who are ready and willing to lead. By fostering mutual support and shared leadership, we can harness the strengths of both genders to create a brighter, more equitable future

Hernandez I 6b

2/28/2025 10:14:08 am

I completely agree

Salazar J 1A

2/28/2025 11:28:58 pm

I agree, giving equal opportunities for men and women can help demostrate different viewpoints and how different they work.

Hernandez I 6b

2/28/2025 10:05:54 am

I don't think the world should be ran by one or the other I think it should be balanced. Men and women work together in this world

Frank Jimenez 6B

2/28/2025 10:11:59 am

Bringing the idea of history into the conversation its safe to say that females play an important role that allows to shape economy and contribution to economic growth. While male shaped a country's power and will to run on its feet (Social change, military, political influence). While there can be debate about both contributions it's safe to say that both are important. Both are needed to shape a country and will of power. There have been mistakes throughout history-> WW2,WW1, American revolution, Spanish war, Cuban crisis, Cold war that have been caused by men . Women lead nations have also started wars (Indira Gandhi). So the point is we need the brotherhood (women and man) to lead a nations will and future. Without any of them the world will be in doom. Martin Luther king (Man), JFK(Man), Alexander the great (Man), Napolean (Man), Abraham Lincoln (Man), George Washington (Man). Rosa parks(Women), Amelia earhart (women), Queen Victoria (women).

I agree and disagree, yes even thow the Rose Parks, Queen Victoria and Amelia Erathart did have some right with something but the don´t have a lot of rights with Queen Victoria and Amwlia Earhart they man still told them what they can or can´t wear or what they can or can´t say becuase men thouth that women shound´t have there own rights

In today's world men and women are divided and it's mostly due to men being mislead themselves and not wanting women's help. If we were to help each other our future can be so much brighter. Think about all the good things that can thrive with both sides working together. When misguided men are not ready to lead, women can step up to help out. History has taught us that men would rather fall than be led by a woman but when they accept women let them help and contribute the result is much more succesful.

I agree in today world men and women are divided and we as people need to learn to come together so we can stop some of these problems

Having both genders coming with different solutions to fix problems within not only the United States, but across the world. Both should be seen and be given equal consideration and rights when it comes to the future of our nation.

Curlee A, 4A

Yes, this is how the world would work, ideally. However this isn't how our world is. We as humans are flawed, and we shall always be flawed.

The future should involve more women in power, both genders can be very capable of leading as long as they are well prepared and meet the qualifications to lead. In my personal opinion there should be more women in charge if we actually want change. In the prompt it states how men in positions of power have given up the same result over centuries, so we should change it up and allow women to be in positions of power. Then maybe well get different results.

Bronson M, 3A

2/28/2025 04:11:25 pm

I agree, women being leaders in the future can make change. Both genders are capable of anything but some women are more skilled than men in certain fields vise versa. There should be more women in the future to make change to prove the society wrong because women are capable of anything too.

I agree in the older days women can´t say anothing or do anothing and the only only thing that women was jod for was that have kids and be a good house wife but in the 1848 the women had the idea to have the women suffrage make men and women the same

Jace Williams

It matter in my opinion because it is important to consider everything that was ancient centuries to real life meaning to keep out from the positions of their power back then.

Ramirez M 6B

The gender of out leaders and candidates should not be a factor in decision. Many men have led, and have shown to be bad at it, many women have had the opportunity to lead, but were denied the chance. Whether or not the leaders we have are male or female, it doesn't matter as long as they have what it takes to actually lead. I don't think the future should be aligned to any specific gender, but rather more equal amount of both coming together to give ideas and contribute to development. What matters is who's leading.

Devonte James 6B

2/28/2025 02:45:03 pm

I agree the gender should not matter at all.

Malvaez M. 1A

2/28/2025 05:38:14 pm

Although I agree that men have led and have been shown to be bad at it sometimes, we can’t really criticize women since they haven’t been given the chance to show how they would lead.

Rodriguez R. 4A

The image above says, "The future is female. This quote is encouraging women to start being confident in choosing what to do with their own future and that they should not depend on what others say they should do based on the world's norm usually are. I think there would be women with less confidence if we continue being (mis)lead by men.

Devonte James 6B

2/28/2025 02:42:58 pm

The phrase “The future is female” suggests that more women in leadership could bring change, but the real issue may be how power is structured. For centuries, male-led leadership has resulted in cycles of war and inequality. While women often bring diverse and inclusive perspectives, simply replacing men with women won’t fix everything unless leadership itself evolves. True progress comes from rethinking power, embracing collaboration, and ensuring diverse voices are heard. If the future is female, it should also be fair, inclusive, and transformative.

Bronson M, 3A

2/28/2025 04:07:32 pm

I agree, the phrase suggests women as leaders would have a change on society. Women won’t make a difference from a male leader because anyone can do anything. Male leadership has led to war and women leadership made peace but it all depends on the person.

Tomas Ruiz 6b

2/28/2025 03:47:39 pm

Leadership as a whole comes in many, both as male and female leaders raised above the centuries, and crumbled. The image seeing "the future is female" as long as it doesn't affect my way of life to drastically, and if the leader is actually doing a great job, then I don't mind it. What would happen if we still get mislead by men? It would still be the same no matter what. when a great leader falls, another shall rise to take his or hers place, like a cycle.

Bronson M, 3A

2/28/2025 04:03:35 pm

The quote “The future is female” means women are symbolized as leaders. Anyone can be a leader and this means to me that women can be a change in society. The power of leadership can be any gender, someone who steps up and takes accountability for their actions, and supports each other as a whole.

Malvaez M. 1A

2/28/2025 05:36:12 pm

Rather than having just one gender ruling society, both women and men should work together to form a stronger nation. Women having more order and power within our governments, it will ultimately boost our nation bringing both viewpoints and ideas from both women and men. Whether it’s a women or men, it wouldn’t be justifiable to just be led by one gender since not all people would agree with being led by just a man or women.

Salazar J 1A

2/28/2025 11:27:18 pm

Absolutely! each gender has their own strengths and being able to learn to work together can help improve the nation. Learning each other's strengths and how to benefit from them can help create better collaboration.

Curlee A, 4A

2/28/2025 06:22:26 pm

"The future is female!" When people say this I often wonder what it means. This statement doesn't mean that woman shall have power, it means woman shall become the power. It confuses me because I think even if we were ruled by woman, we would still end up where we are. People, man or woman, inherently have "good" and "bad" intentions and actions throughout their existence. While I do think the majority of the issues that plague our world were caused by mans actions, reversing those roles will only throw those problems at woman. The only way society can balance itself, is by both genders have equal power.

Mijangos A, 4A

2/28/2025 08:43:18 pm

I agree. Women have the right to gain power just as easily as men do. However, when doing so is they will obtain the same responsibilities.

Castillo V, 6B

2/28/2025 06:59:41 pm

In my opinion I think women should be given more chances into taking action, when they try they are mostly always turned down. I also think both male and female can work together to better the future with both of their ideas.

Aiden Mijangos

I believe that everyone wants to lead everyone else, but not have the mindset that others besides themselves can lead as well. For centuries men have lead society to war, complications, even destroying each other. Lately with women rising into power, many people believe that this will cause a downfall in many things, but that's all wrong. If I may say so, its not about gender, it is the mindset our leaders have. Either they can benefit the society they govern, or watch it crumble to pieces. Gender does not matter, anyone can lead, you just have to make the right choices.

Mijangos A, 4A

I agree that gender should be irrelevant when discussing about rising into power. If society thinks one person is trustworthy to obtain power, it shouldn't be limited based on the gender of a person.

Gonzalez S 4A link

2/28/2025 11:25:13 pm

I agree with your statement, everyone does have the right to leadership no matter the gender.

Aiyanyo E 3A

2/28/2025 09:58:29 pm

I believe the ability to obtain power shouldn't be limited on the gender of a person, however I do think it should be based of the content of one's character and the trustworthiness on the person. It doesn't matter what gender the person is. The human race should come together as one and try and solve the problems that the world is facing.

Rodriguez Y. A1

2/28/2025 11:08:04 pm

Obtaining power shouldn't be limited with everyone, there are certain people that are old enough to understand what is right and what is wrong. People who are mature enough to use "power for good"

Smith R 8B

2/28/2025 11:51:13 pm

We should look at the characteristics a person holds rather than gender. Both genders working together can make a lot of progress in our world, but even now it seems unrealistic because women are looked down upon when they hold a position of power.

Rodriguez Y. A1

2/28/2025 10:07:31 pm

The image above says, "The future is female", is correct. The future are females because women are the ones that give birth to amazing human beings who end up being hard workers or creating our homes, women give birth to powerful women who are coming to the surface. Now a days to put it frankly women are realizing how much they can do and they don't need a man to be successful with that in mind their focusing on their things, in addition to this irresponsible parents(fathers) leave women to fend for themselves making women teach their kids to not be like that or to be aware of the consequences of choosing the wrong person. This means that when children grow up they'll be more careful with who they get with.

Carmouche K 1A

2/28/2025 10:36:19 pm

The viewpoint shouldn’t be only Men or only Women leading or making decisions in the future. We should be working towards a place of understanding both sides and not putting one side down and picking one up. Also, every man shouldn't be put in a place of “not producing different results” solely based on bad examples of leaders that have come before.

Smith R 8B

2/28/2025 11:48:55 pm

Though I agree both genders should work together, I wonder what the world would look like with only women in charge.

Knowles K 1A

2/28/2025 10:56:06 pm

Men and Women should work together to reach the same common goal as each other when we are able to do that the world will be better than ever before

Sinkfield E, 1A

2/28/2025 11:41:06 pm

Absolutely, common goals are need to be met. Having a negative pre notion on people who can do the job just as well and even better is wrong.

Gonzalez D. 1A

3/3/2025 09:43:17 pm

Yes I agree, I think both coming together can work so much better than just one.

Gonzalez S 4A link

The future is female is a bold statement that seeks to shift the traditional power dynamics that have dominated society for centuries. It's all for change, for a world where women are no longer relegated to the sidelines and are empowered to make their voices heard and lead with confidence.

Salazar J 1A

2/28/2025 11:24:50 pm

Being lead by only one specific gender could be controversial for society. Having both men and women learn to work together can help create better enviroment. When a certain gender is in power it does not matter if they are male or female but more of how they lead. It is important to have a leader that is trustworthy, fearless and is able to take critism.

Sinkfield, E 1A

2/28/2025 11:36:59 pm

It is the future. Having more positions being filled by well qualified people is 100 times better than having positions filled with a certain demographic because of their gender. Finding a balance with society is a necessity and people need to look more into who’s qualified and who isn’t.

Cavazos N 6B

2/28/2025 11:44:14 pm

I would hope that more and more women would take on jobs that are mainly male dominated so they could help bring change in that department and break away from the norm we see in society.

Miles D 4A

2/28/2025 11:47:20 pm

I don't think that it should be that our fututre is to be led by women but rather have men and women should work together to make a better future.

Gonzalez D. 1A

3/3/2025 09:42:39 pm

I agree, I feel like having only one can sorta have us compete with each other instead of supporting each other like it should be done.

Smith R 8B

2/28/2025 11:47:46 pm

Yes, the future is women. Women tend to have more compassion & sense when it comes to solving problems. Men often act out because of their emotions & it has obviously shown with our current President. Men love to have an ego & if something threatens their self-esteem, power, or masculinity, they make mistakes.

If a women is in the power we would have better chances better life’s better opportunities for us women. The future is a female being in charge of this country . A women who is in office Can makes so many chnaged we almost had an opportunity we almost had that future but now we must wait for it to come again now that trump is in charge and these other sexism men are in charge there aren’t much opportunities for us in general especially of those who are people of color and are a women. It makes it harder on us . It makes it harder on every female. They take away rights that aren’t theirs to give orders too . They take away rights of what to do to our body’s. When it’s not theirs to choose . If a female was in charge she would know how to help us get the equality we want. Till this day we always fight for equal rights it will never stop until a woman is in office.

In my opinion, the future isn’t just female but it’s for everyone. For a long time men have been the ones in charge and while some things could be improved there’s still so many other problems. But I don’t think the answer should be only women but men as well too, the real change comes when we all come together and work as a whole, we need to be able to find a balance not only have one side.
