“In our culture, people think women can 't do whatever they want just because they 're women. I remember when I was in high school and I was fascinated with forensic files and every evening when I go home, I would talk about how cool forensic is and that I wanted a job in that field, and my mom would say no because you 're a woman. You can 't be doing that, it 's not safe. This makes me mad because I wanted to be able to do what I want to do and not being judged like that. So to me, women and men should be equal. If men can do something, women should be able to do it without a disapproval of others.”
3. “I believe in gender equality and the women in the past that work hard to earn women’s rights today are amazing but women forget its true meaning. Some goes too far and ask for more than

    All throughout the history of the world there has always been the issue that man is superior to woman. This has been an ongoing fight that women of all races and ethnicities have been faced with in some way or form. In Patricia L. Bryan and Thomas Wolf’s nonfiction novel Midnight Assassin, the authors portray Mrs. Hossack’s as a weak feminine character, this causes her trial to be slanted due to her presumed feminine traits: through the lenses of feminism, this brings the issue of categorizing women to fit specific profiles to the light of the reader. To expand, the term feminism has been used vaguely and not many people understand the true ideals of the movement. Feminism is the advocacy of woman’s rights fighting for equal roles as men…

    Endless Possibilities: A Feminist Proposal My fellow feminists [Pause and add as an afterthought] and misogynists, For many years, we, women, have been oppressed in this society by men. [Pause] For too many years, we have been suppressed in this patriarchy. Our voices and rights have been [Emphasize] stripped away from us, the patriarchy trampling over us, leaving in its wake a barren, desolate path of injustice and inequality. For too many years, we women have dealt with all the garbage that has been hurled our way, all the ignorance that has persisted when male legislators moronically and insensibly dealt with female rights, all the unnecessary trouble that came with obtaining rights that should inherently belong to us.…

    Napoleon, Aristotle, and Confucius all viewed women as useless creatures. Aristotle, for instance, once said “A proper wife should be as obedient as a slave.” The countless amount of sexist opinions that come out of powerful men have greatly affected the presence of females in political affairs and have gated their entrance into equality. Hillary Clinton challenges this idea in her speech, “Women’s Rights are Human Rights.” She believes women, of all backgrounds, should be able to exercise their basic human and legal rights and participate in political situations.…

    • After setting through a few weeks of history, it is extremely hard to choose three changes which have been the biggest changes in the Unites States from 1783 to 1865. I feel like all of the topics, in which we talk about in class, are extremely important to the United States history. Just a few of the more complex changes that I came up with are: abolitionist movements, French and Native American War as well as women’s rights. All three of these topics made an extreme change in the United States that can still be seen in the present day. To start off, slavery was one of the cruelest things that a living person could endure.…

    The First Wave of Feminism With the end of the industrial revolution, women were starting to be recognized as equal in society. However, laws had still discriminated against them and place them in inferior positions as men. In an Anti-Slavery convention of 1840, Elizabeth Cady Stanton (an anti-slavery activist) and Lucretia Mott (a Quaker preacher and reform veteran) were both denied seats on the conference because they were women. They soon got to know each other and discuss the issues of women.…

    A woman shouldn’t feel guilty for wanting to explore the world, become more intelligent, not have kids, want a career or a chance to become a political figure. “We can no longer ignore that voice within women that says: “I want something more than my husband and my children and my home.” To have true freedom in the U.S one must allow for all persons no matter the gender or race the ability to live out their dreams and speak their minds. No person should ever come to a point in their life where they ask … is this…

    Feminism is the advocacy of women’s rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men (“Feminism”). Women have always struggled in the fight to gain equality with men, despite the many major advances; society still has a long way to go in addressing the issue of gender inequality. Women’s rights are somewhat a delicate and unsettled subject that society still continues to debate today. The belief that women simply because they are women are treated inequitably within a society as it is organized to prioritize the male viewpoints and concerns. Within a patriarchal society, women have always been placed on a lower status compared to men.…

    The Reign of the Feminist “True equality means holding everyone accountable in the same way, regardless of race, gender, faith, ethnicity - or political ideology.” (Monica Crowley). This is especially true for women are beginning to be a true power in this world, with women becoming CEO’S of companies, and running for major offices. People need to realize that times are changing in the twenty-first century for women and today feminism is required to be successful in job fields like politics where women are taking a stand and becoming more assertive, in the home where single mothers who work are still producing children who help society, and in the workplace, where women still need to make a stand to make the same pay and have gender equality.…

    Gender Equality and Feminism In America, the prevalence of gender inequality goes primarily ignored. The few who do speak out are criticized, sometimes called ‘feminazis’, as though calling someone out on being sexist aligns you with murderers and committers of genocide and atrocities. People who are proudly feminists receive eye rolls and are called ‘chauvinistic’. Feminism, by definition, is “the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes” (Merriam-Webster). Real feminism isn’t about thinking women are better and wanting women to take over.…
