Afterwards, the ambulance rushed the boy to the hospital, with his father by his side. The emergency personnel determined that the boy needed brain surgery immediately. A female surgeon in her mid-forties entered the emergency room. She was ready to help the boy, but his father asked for a male surgeon, because he believed that major surgeries should be done by male surgeons only, not female ones. At that moment, she was the only one who could help the little boy. Should the father have waited for a male doctor, even though his son could have gotten worse, or even died while waiting?

    The first thing Stanton does that makes this an effective speech is pathos. Stanton uses this appeal by telling different stories to evoke the women of that times emotion. She tells of how women are treated in different places. She says: From the Arabian Kerek whose wife is obliged to steal from her Husband to supply the necessities of life,-from the Mahometan who forbids pigs dogs women and other impure animals to enter a mosque, and does not allow a fool, madman or women to proclaim the hour of prayer,- form the German who complacently smokes his meerschaum while his wife, yoked with the ox draws the plough through its furrow,-from the delectable gentleman who thinks an inferior style of conversation adapted to women-to the legislator who considers her incapable of saying what laws shall govern her, is this same feeling manifested (Stanton).…

    Throughout history, the male has been the most dominant figure living on planet Earth. Difficult tasks and jobs have been given to men, and women were given simpler, less demanding jobs. Women often were thought of as weak and fragile so they could not do the tasks of men; who were pictured as muscular and intelligent.

Women had to come a long way and a lot had to change in order for the Democratic Nominee, Hillary Clinton, to even consider becoming president one day. The effects of women suffrage led to the start of the powerful feminist movement that changed the way women confronted social standards. Warrren K. Leffler points out, the beginning of women’s suffrage began in 1848 when Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott issued a meeting in Seneca Falls Convention in London to talk about “Social, civil, and religious rights of women” as well as to ratify the…

    "Once upon a time, it was a man’s world,” states David Brooks firmly. For centuries it has been understood that men rule over the more important dominant and power positions of the world. From great male pharaohs, to an increasingly systematic view of presidency, men have been able to manipulate genetic gender roles in order to instill the notion that it’s truly a world only able to stand with the leadership of men. However, contrary to the beliefs of the gender based roles of conduct in society, that represent males as supreme in intelligence and in physical dominance, we have evolved into an era where woman carry an equivalent and sometimes ever greater capacity to strive for success than ever before over men. To begin with, no longer…

    It is proven that from 1977 to now that the representation of women in politics has grown increasingly, but not at a fast-steady rate. The main reason women are underrepresented in electoral offices is because there are not a lot of women candidates on the ballot. Women are discouraged from running for these positions due to reasons such as not being able to win the election or not having a female role model to follow in the footsteps of. For women candidates and voters, there is a strong sense that they will not be able to win the election based on their gender. One study conducted showed that “two-thirds of voters believed that women have a tougher time winning elections than men do”.…
