So far, I'm not really understanding this week's Scratch. Some of the projects can be simple, but some of them can also be kind of complex.

"We fought very hard for feminism, for women's rights," Nicks said in response to a question from the crowd. "What I'm seeing today is a very opposite thing. I don't know why, but I see women being put back in their place. And I hate it. We're losing all we worked so hard for, and it really bums me out." - Stevie Nicks (Rolling Stone magazine)

This quote itself says it all. Women have become the epitome of what they were treated as in the 20th century as well as before. It's sad and disappointing.

I wish going to prom alone didn't seem so bad. Although I don't exactly care if I show up alone, I wouldn't want to enjoy the night alone. This sucks???

Alice Paul aka "Champion of Women Suffrage" was an American feminist and women's rights activist. She was the main leader and strategist of the 1910s campaign for the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which banned sex discrimination for the right to vote. Along with Lucy Burns and others, Alice strategized the events, such as the Silent Sentinels, which led the successful campaign that resulted in its passage in 1920. Along with the women that followed this suffrage movement, they were sent to Occoquan (a women's prison) for a few months. They were put under harsh conditions (which Alice protested by going on a hunger strike) until they were released and eventually got the Nineteenth Amendment passed. Paul continued fighting for women's rights until she passed in 1974. Even though women are still not treated as respectfully and rightfully as they should be to this day, we have many opportunities as well as opportunities to fight for more.Yes all women.

Born into slavery as an African-American, Sojourner Truth was an abolitionist and women's rights activist. She escaped with her infant daughter to freedom in 1826 and afterwards went to court to recover her son, becoming the first black woman to win such an immense case against a white man. Sojourner Truth was named Isabella Baumfree when she was born but gave herself the name Sojourner Truth in 1843. Her best-known extemporaneous speech on gender inequalities, "Ain't I a Woman?" (one of my favorites), was delivered in 1851 at the Ohio Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio. During the Civil War, Truth helped recruit black troops for the Union Army; after the war, she tried unsuccessfully to secure land grants from the federal government for former slaves. Yes all women.

    Sometimes I like to sit down and laugh at how ridiculous homophobic people can be. Swearing and drinking can be considered as "fun". Homosexuality isn't "fun". Why would so many gay people or even transgenders, etc., emotionally struggle with discovering who they really are if this situation was actually
"fun"? People don't get killed for swearing or constantly drinking when it's their choice. But, they will get killed or even physically abused if they turn out to be gay; something that someone can't help because that's what they feel. Everybody knows that drunk people often risk the lives of other people when they're drunk and driving. What harm are homosexuals making? So no, being a homosexual is not a choice and it certainly is nothing like drinking or swearing. It's literally nobody else's business but their own. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to reevaluate themselves.

Katy Perry's performance actually sucked. I feel like she had no type of performance stance. Beyonce's Super Bowl performance is always going to be the best to be honest.
