On balance, Feminism is not needed in the US anymore.

"My opponent doesn't understand why I involved other countries. Again, the resolution leaves room for other countries. If he were to say not needed *strictly* in the U.S, then I would have argued merely the U.S." I specifically said the US. Did I leave it broad, and say Feminism in the world. You really provide no examples, and just base your reasoning off of your opinion without facts on the resolution. C. 1: Sex and Violence "In order for my opponent to have accurately rebutted my case, he must have shown that human trafficking no longer exists, which he didn't prove. In fact, human trafficking does exist." Well, you should have accurately read the case. I specifically stated "The source you list first of all list for this evidence is a blog made in 2010. The year is 2016 which means 6 years have gone by since this has happened. The Washington Post article you also sourced was an opinion article with no evidence to back it up. Between 14,500 and 17,500 people are trafficked into the U.S. each year. https://www.dosomething.org...; Con's source is from 2010. My source is from 2014. Here are the sources that prove that 50,000 is a false number in the current times. 7 California Against Slavery. "What is Human Trafficking?." Safer California Foundation. Accessed February 25, 2014, http://www.caseact.org.... 8 U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. "Human Trafficking in Texas." Texas Advisory Committee . Accessed February 25, 2014, http://www.usccr.gov.... 9 Bales, Kevin. "The Number." The CNN Freedom Project Ending Modern Day Slavery. Accessed February 25, 2014, http://thecnnfreedomproject.blogs.cnn.com.... Obviously, the number has declined drastically. California and Las Vegas are the most popular states in the U.S for human trafficking. "The United States is one of the top three destination points for trafficked victims and California, New York, Texas and Nevada are the top destination states within the country." First of all, this statistic also applies to children. The resolution only applies to women. Con puts statistics about children that do not apply to this resolution. If this were policy debate, I would put a topicality violation. Human trafficking has nothing to with feminism. If I may remind a radical feminist of what feminism actually means. Feminism-Feminism is a range of movements and ideologies that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve equal political, economic, cultural, personal, and social rights for women. This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment. A feminist advocates or supports the rights and equality of women. It only states women. It does not state children. Woman-an adult human female. Oxford Dictionaries If Con tries to prove that 80% of these children are females, than Con still proves nothing. Female is specifically an adult female, not a child. These are just a few arguments about bringing up children in this debate. These arguments should be deemed irrelevant. I feel like my opponent does not know what she is talking about, and confuses human trafficking with all sorts of topics. C2. "Males are far more likely to chose dangerous careers"" "Where is the evidence?" I don't get why you are failing at reading my case. I already stated "Men are far more likely to choose careers that are more dangerous, so they naturally pay more. In the top ten most dangerous jobs(from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics)". "Males are far more likely to work in higher paying jobs" "Not true because I successfully argued that men and women who have the same exact job, and same degree, women still earn less, making your accusation false." You should recall the evidence in your case where you state this, because I do not see anywhere in your case where you argued this "successfully". ."Males are for more likely to work in higher paying jobs-According to the White House Report, 7% of female professionals were employed in high paying computer fields, while 38% of males have gotten professional jobs." Here is the evidence I stated in my case. "Men work longer hours than women" "Not true. If it is true, you doesn't provide any evidence. A study in 2013 reported that women and men work equal amount of hours. [3] Here in the U.S., men and women work a nearly equal number of hours, about 50 per week. But once again, women take much more of the household burden. They average 33 hours a week at jobs, and more than 17 hours working around the house." First of all, Con does not provided a citation on where this evidence comes from. I tried copying and pasting this into google, and I honestly got nothing. The study should have pulled up in seconds. It did not. I provide clear evidence that states the opposite, and has facts. Men work longer hours than women-Men work 6 hours per week, or 15percent longer than the average fulltime working women. http://www.cbsnews.com... I have provided a lot of evidence for all of my claims. All claims on the fact that I did not provide evidence are false. You should have noticed that all of those claims go directly back to round 2. "This is merely fluff writing." This is the response from all the governors listed in round 2. This attack has no strength behind it, and is very close to a cop out. Dropped Arguments: I am sorry, but I have to specifically break this resolution down in order to prove why my opponent's arguments are weak. On balance, Feminism is not needed in the US anymore. Balance- condition in which different elements are equal or in the correct proportions: Feminism-Definition my opponent has given needed-1.require (something) because very important US=United States of America Oxford Dictionaries The debate has to do with BALANCE and NEED. These arguments my opponent has dropped. Con has dropped the arguments where I argue that all the statistics are less than 1% of the 125 million women that live in America. That is not balance. If 51% of American women were raped, than Con would clearly win this debate. She does not acknowledge this at all. Here are the actual statistics: 182,000 women = 0.146% of the women in America. 1 million women=0.8% This debate is about balance. I think these numbers speak for it selves. If 182,000 women are being raped, than that means that 124,818,000 women are not being raped. If 1 million women are being raped, than that means that 124 million women are not being raped. These are simple facts that my opponent cannot deny is true. The majority of women are not being subjected to human trafficking. My female opponent is not subjected to this trafficking. This is why Pro clearly wins this debate.
