@Sortsitar yeah, I was totally serious about that comment...

Women are also notorious throughout history for their ability to manipulate good men and turn him against his cause. The sirens, Cleopatra, and the courtesans of old to name a few. Although less barbaric then men, women have the capacity for greater long term planning. Problem is, segregation, civilization, tradition, and sexually biased agendas will still exist. Free community should be upheld! Men and women working together to create a future for children of every nation, not just our own!

[OKSteele]

why are people against this? It's another way to help! Another way for people to get involved and motivated and change the world! If it's not your thing, okay. This is my thing I can believe in and support.

I think the reasoning is very convoluted and not convincing. It's like I could just as easily make up a story about how killing a butterfly led to there not being a hurricane in New Orleans because it fluttered its wings a bit less.

It's not about money?? LOL!!!  It's all about money. Replace the word "Girl" with "boys", "the elderly", "the poor and the sick", "tree", "cow", "dog", "cat", whatever - and you have the same ad.

@smathee92 Males are already doing those things...and it's obviously not working. Who makes up their government, anyway? People...with penises. Believe me, I'm not writing off men. I like guys. But developing countries are very, very sexist towards women, and don't think they are valuable, much like Islamic countries. 90% of women are more likely to reinvest their success into their family, rather than 35% of men. By helping the people around you, the domino effect will change the world.

@clengoflord That's the point. Men are already doing those things, and boys get the opportunity to do those things. Girls in developing countries do not get those opportunities. In developed countries, girls and women have a completely different role in society. They are allowed to contribute their effort and are seen as valuable assets, most of the time. If a girl in a developing country is allowed the same opportunities, her potential productivity will help the world become a better place.
