Teen girls 'engulfed' in violence and trauma, CDC finds

2. They are facing a world where they will be reproductive slaves...

....abortion being restricted or banned, along with contraception. They are bullied, judged more harshly than boys in every way, devalued (if they don't look "f*ckable" they're useless), and coerced or forced into sex - at school, sometimes at home and in the future, at work. They STILL do not have equal opportunity with boys and still cannot expect to be paid the same as them with equal qualifications and education in many or even most fields. If they decide to become wives and/or moms, that will cost them a LOT of career ground and individual financial stability and independence since the US has no decent childcare system or nationwide paid family or maternity leave (ie: required by federal law). They are NOT supported in any aspect of their lives -- OTHER than as breeding apparatus. They are constantly vulnerable and subjected to the oppression and misogynist judgement of social, legal, educational, professional, and economic systems. ESPECIALLY if they are girls or women of color.

Who WOULDN'T find that depressing? I agree with the other respondent here. This isn't new. It's just that the numbers are now more accurate. And truth is, it's probably even worse than that.
