When I was 14 years old, my junior varsity volleyball coach asked me to attend a city council meeting to address Title IX and women's sports. I was, of course, oblivious to sexual discrimination and naively moaned about how bad the girls' gym smelled. Soon after, I discovered gender inequality firsthand, started to work in athletic compliance and eventually went on to study it.
While my stint at fighting for women's causes seems small compared with the four heavy stories revealed on tonight’s "True Life: Resist The Power! Saudi Arabia," the young rebels' conviction and genuine passion for change is completely relatable. I'm sure everyone has, at some point, been affected by outside expectations, limitations or even injustice.
