Women's Empowerment Panel Topic
I am the events coordinator for a campus organization known as Women's Empowerment. As we embark on the 2007-2008 school year I am lacking ideas for panels (discussion) for my group to sponsor. The only one I have planned thus far is a religion panel focusing on the roles of women in various religions. Last year we had a panel about breast cancer, freedom of speech, and another entitled "Do Nice Guys Really Finish Last?" that explored the various psychological, sociological, and religious influences around the popular phrase.
The organization supports both men (men can be feminists too) and women, though focuses mainly on women's issues as there is not any other organization present on the campus that does such.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Maybe give some free advice about: Activism?
Hi, great panel. I can make some suggestions.
1.) Pay parity. It is still an issue after all these years.
2.) Fast track or Mommy Track. Why are women's careers interrupted because they take a few years off to have children. Today with flex time and work at home options, this is slowly beginning to change.
3.)Sexual empowerment. "Girls Gone Wild" Has the sexual revolution and birth control really empowered women, or are there regrets later in life when we look back on the drunken behavior, and/or the promiscuity. Are there any regrets. Maybe not. Do we wish we could go back and change some of the things we did, that may now be recorded on video. Is Date rape a phenomenom of women's sexual empowerment? Date drugs? (From being on this sight, having to talk to girls who have been taken advantage of, and they are hurt, I would say no.)
4.) Arranged marriage. Many countries today that do promote women,and educate women, like India, still have arranged marriages. I have met women who are in an arranged marriage and they couldn't be happier. Some of them say that they trusted their parents implicitly, to choose the right mate for them, and they weren't dissapointed.
(THis is a thought that I have always had, after two divorces myself: What if we, as parents, did have to arrange marriages for our childen, when they are adults; wouldn't we raise them better? I mean we'd have too, or we wouldn't be able to find them a good match. We couldn't raise, drug addicts, alcoholics, wife beaters, child molester, etc, etc. because, other parents would not agree to an arranged marriage with our disfunctional child. WE'd have to be better parents..) Anyway just a thought.
5.) Co-ed vs. All male or all female college. Do women get a better education at an all female collge, because of the competativeness of males.
I hope you find these interesting. Your forum certainly sounds really interesting. Good luck to you.
