At an incredibly divisive point in pop history Donna Summer managed to create an undeniable across-the-board experience of mass pleasure - after 'Bad Girls ' nobody ever tried claiming disco sucked again. It set the template for what Michael Jackson would do a few months later with 'Off The Wall.'
When you're a soul singer I'm singing a lot of songs about love and relationships that I think a lot of girls really relate to. For whatever reason that seems to get 'em excited. The DJ everyone always says the DJ gets all the chicks but that's never been my experience.
In my experience it's all wonderful with girls until about 16. Around that time boys kind of calm down and start focusing their testosterone. Girls get a little challenging especially for fathers.
Going out and playing football or baseball with the boys when I was a tomboy was a great way to learn about winning and losing and most girls didn't have that experience.
The media says that equality for women has arrived but if you look around you still don't see girls playing guitars and having success with it.
One of the biggest development issues in the world is the education of girls. In the United States and Europe it has been accepted but not in Africa and the developing countries.
I hope I've been able to show other young girls that as long as you work hard and you're committed to fight for your education that anything's possible.
The Obama administration now has regulations that tells them that they can no longer promote marriage to these young girls. They can no longer promote marriage as a way of avoiding poverty and bad choices that they make in their life. They can no longer even teach abstinence education. They have to be neutral with respect to how people behave.
At any rate girls are differently situated. Having no need of deep scientific knowledge their education is confined more to the ordinary things of the world the study of the fine arts and of the manners and dispositions of people.
Sex education is legitimate in that girls cannot be taught soon enough how children don't come into the world.
