Bigger, Faster, & Stronger?

Boys may be bigger, faster, and stronger, but one thing they are not is more fierce and determined. Women have continuously been degraded in sports and only recently in the past few decades have they been recognized. Men have always been seen to be the ones to "take charge" or be the leaders and its not that women have not been leaders or taken charge but they have not been given the same opportunity as men have. For example, women are only given 45% of college athletic scholarship money. That really impacts the mental aspect of female athletes wanting to go to college and play the sport the love and strive in. And when women are given the opportunity or do great things its not always seen as the most important thing, even though to the women who have been working hard and pushing themselves towards their goal see as one of the biggest victories ever.
