Satire Essay On Women

Improved Essays
“Because women's work is never done and is underpaid or unpaid or boring or repetitious and we're the first to get fired and what we look like is more important than what we do and if we get raped it's our fault and if we get beaten we must have provoked it and if we raise our voices we're nagging bitches and if we enjoy sex we're nymphos and if we don't we're frigid and if we love women it's because we can't get a "real" man and if we ask our doctor too many questions we're neurotic and/or pushy and if we expect childcare we're selfish and if we stand up for our rights we're aggressive and "unfeminine" and if we don't we're typical weak females and if we want to get married we're out to trap a man and if we don't we're unnatural and because we still can't get an adequate safe contraceptive but men can walk on the moon …show more content…
We spend our time teaching women how not to get raped, how to protect yourself at night, and what to do when you need to get away. If you’d teach your daughter about safety, why wouldn’t you teach your son about consent? Why is it that the words, “yes” and “no” are only confused when it comes to consent? Why are the lines suddenly blurred? Why are excuses made for the rapist, and why are they able to make excuses for themselves? “She changed her mind last minute so it wasn’t truly raped.”

The senate recently approved a bill to defund Planned Parenthood. Of the people that voted on this bill, only one was a woman. Many women are only able to afford doctors appointments, contraceptives, STD screenings, and other such services through Planned Parenthood. If you take away these options for a woman, they no longer have the choice of protecting themselves. The same people voting against abortion, are the same people voting against a woman’s right to birth control. I believe that a woman should never feel guilty for her choices, she should never feel bad for owning her

    Individuals will have to go without any form of preventative measures to live a happy healthy life. There will be no resources available to help educate young adults, whom the government loves to state are, “tomorrow’s future.” This is a very frustrating issue that is in need to be fixed to better help the people of this country. “Proposed cuts are simply cruel.

    Planned Parenthood has been under scrutiny most recently in the past few years for their role in abortions in the United States. Planned Parenthood believes that a woman shouldn’t be judged by the government or anyone for the decisions that they make because a woman’s body is her own and she should have the decision of what she wants to do with it. This was the basis of the Supreme Court case: Roe v. Wade. “Jane Roe” argued the Texas stature that an abortion at any time during the pregnancy was illegal. The court ruled in her favor by saying that a woman has the right to get an abortion until the fetus has reached fetus viability.…

    Test Essay The outcome of the Planned Parenthood defunding debate could potentially oppress thousands of women across the United States. The unequal lack of healthcare opportunities for women and poor individuals would be a form of oppression because those with power, or money, would have much easier access to these services. Planned Parenthood’s main focus is providing services for women and families. They offer services on a sliding scale to ensure that all women have access to affordable health care.…

    Women need Planned Parenthood to help them make the correct medical decisions about their body based on proper medical advice; this organization has helped many women across the nation. The government plans to defund it because they think they own a women’s body. This is false; women own their bodies, not a governing body, a man, or even another woman. The…

    Dear Editor, The article “Women Need Dignity More Than Sex Without Consequence”, Aug. 22, by Grace-Marie Turner states that women do not have to be responsible for their actions and that the government will pay for them to have sex without worrying about pregnancy. She also argues that when government funding is involved ethics and religious liberty must be upheld. Government-funded contraceptives are not an issue about morality or possible sexual consequences – it is about providing women with options. Government-funded contraceptives should be available to women because it is a simple product and tool that allows women to take responsibility for themselves, and gives low-income women access to the option of using contraceptives.…

    Consent is something highly necessary, but also something that’s often glossed over in health classes. When teens don’t learn about consent, what it looks like, and how to ask for it, people are at risk of being seriously violated. In fact, people, especially women, have already been harmed. In the year 2009, 3.1 million women were raped and that number is growing (Lau). However, those are just the statistics for those who reported their assault, in reality only around 60% of people file police reports on their rapes or assaults and 98% of offenders never spend a single day behind bars (“Statistics”).…

    For centuries, women have been fighting for rights they should be entitled to the same way men are. From the right to an education, to working, to voting; it’s no surprise some women have to fight for the right to control their uteruses as well. The big debate in America is pro-life vs. pro-choice. To break it down simply, pro-life is anti-abortion, while pro-choice is giving women the right to decide for themselves, so pro-abortion. The controversy is that women would be aborting innocent children and that’s immoral, while the opposing side stands firmly behind the claim that are various reasons why a woman would choice to abort their unborn child, whether it be for financial reasons, a pregnancy by rape, simply because they don’t want the…

    The history of birth control goes back as far as 3000 B.C. when condoms were made out of fish bladder or animal intestines. In 1916 Margaret Sanger opened the first birth control clinic in Brooklyn with contraceptives that she smuggled from Europe. At this time “birth control was a radical idea that challenged conventional notions of women’s sexuality and reproduction” (483). Before 1916 both genders struggled to get birth control. In 1873 The Comstock Act allowed mail carriers to confiscate birth control that was purchased through the mail.…

    Rape is a brutal, physical action that takes away, from the victim, far more than their innocence and sense of being, but, in addition to, their frame of mind is altered, sometimes obliterated to the extent of insanity, constant anxiety, self-loathing, and fear. When interacting with certain people and crossing certain boundaries without the consent of both parties is a serious problem. What makes sexual violence worse is that most states do not have a clear, set punishment that is reasonable depending on the situation. Sexual assault and rape are two different things that are punished the same which is an issue. Sexual violence is extremely serious and people need to learn the importance of what makes sexual assault and rape what they are…

    Almost all cultures in the world are set up within a binary system. These cultures force people to conform to either adherently masculine characteristics to show they are male or adherently feminine characteristics to show that they are in fact female.

Anyone who does not conform to these characteristics is chastised and marked as being a freak for not fitting into societal norms. There are people who have spent their whole lives studying the way people act in accordance to their gender and rather or not it is necessary and born within them or unnecessary and a taught action.…

    When people hear of the organization Planned Parenthood, many images can pop into their heads. To some, Planned Parenthood is a wonderful place where they educate the population and provide medical services to women who cannot afford the regular services. To others Planned Parenthood is a horrible organization that sells the fetal tissue of the babies aborted. No matter what people’s views on Planned Parenthood, I believe that the government should finance Planned Parenthood because; Planned Parenthood educates all types of people on various topics, Planned Parenthood also offers services to women who cannot afford them, and the multiple accusations against Planned Parenthood are incorrect. Planned Parenthood should be funded by the government because they educate the population on; forms of birth control, STD’s, sexuality, body image, men and…
