Faking 19

Faking 19 is about a 17 year old daughter who has struggle just like many people do. In her case she has an absent father, an uncaring mother, and she is on the merge to failing high school and not get graduated if she doesn't get her grades up.
During a conversation between Alex and her mom have a quick conversation about woman and history and now. Her mom states that woman have taken big steps since she herself was a child to now. But Alex looks at it as if woman have taken big steps in society not in a loving relationship.
I agree with Alex and her mom because woman have taken steps to more independence but I feel that woman have not taken a complete step to stop burdensome social rules, for example sex. People at this age have sex whether its to experiment or to have a sexual relationship. But girls that experiment it for multiple times are called sluts, while guys are usually awarded with "stud". Why is this so, shouldn't both or neither be awarded the same?
Some other rules that society has implemented is the whole going out thing, on a date the man has to pay usually while they would be a gentlemen, while if a woman payed the bill they would most likely not get another date any time soon, for being "rude", or there is the whole first move thing, a man has to either ask or gain in on the woman to do something where if a woman does it they are considered desperate or manly.
So making woman vote really bumps them up socially but there are still other social rules that woman are usually targeted for doing, and with a growing community of LGBT's what can we expect and are we actually pushing people to become LGBT.
