If better is establishing new norms for gender equality.
Hollywood Hills High School Sophomore Holly Neher achieved a high school first. She became the first female quarterback to throw a touchdown pass in a regulation high school game.
It may not seem to move the needle much in the frame of the world where the President's daughter is talking about giving up equal wages as an acute cause, but it is still a touchdown strike for feminism. There is no job that a dedicated female cannot do, even give birth to a baby.
This girl can play. She quarterbacked the girls flag football team last spring, and she can obviously take the hits to play with the boys. The pass play covered 45 yards.
So here is to one small step for womanhood in its march to overcome a world running on rules that men make for themselves.
