What prevents girls and women from having power is that they think someone else is better than them when they're not.  Or someone could just be giving up their power like if someone is bullying you or you give up your power to like a boy or not.  from---I<3McDonald's

When someone puts you down, you lose confidence.  If you don't have confidence, you usually do not have the courage to be a leader and speak what is on your mind.  I feel that typically a girl wants to stand up, but is not able to have the strength because of her confidence level.  In my opinion you don't need physical power because emotional power will get you further in life.  from---MINGMING<3

What may cause girls and women to lose power is stereotypes that say we aren't as smart or as brave as guys; and the constant pressure if you want to impress others.  from---Lil Elmo :)

....afraid of being made fun of.  If you stand for what you believe in or share your opinions.  I think if you don't speak up then you won't have a chance to show how smart you really are.  from---Ana
