Women should be able to do anything and everything men could do, meaning equal access to jobs and careers in military as well as outside of it. People state that women aren’t “physically, mentally, and emotionally qualified” to actually be involved in combat. People think we should continue to have legal bars against women that want to be involved in the combat unit,…

Lust in Aristophanes’ Lysistrata is described as a very strong want of sexual desire. In this play, Lysistrata rebels against the Spartan and Athenian war that lasts a great amount of time and motivates the women of Greece to strike against their men by pledging an oath of celibacy until those same men put down their arms in efforts to end the war. This medium for literature not only emphasizes the extremity of the war at hand, but also uses comedy to undermine the commentary of political…

feminism had another phase and this one attracted more people. “Whereas the first wave of feminism was generally propelled by middle class, Western, cisgender, white women, the second phase drew in women of color and developing nations, seeking sisterhood and solidarity” (Rampton).

In the late 20th century, English novelist Angela Carter published a short vampire fiction version of Sleeping Beauty that once again reflects society’s perception and expectation of women. In this story, an immortal vampire queen long lives in her mansion in Romania and feeds on the blood of young men.

Walking into a new big building, being assigned a locker, and shown your schedule, the hustle, and bustle of kids running back and forth to their classes, the laughter echoing around the halls. And then you, standing in the middle of it all it feels almost as if you were on pause and the rest of the world continued to play. Feeling alone, frightened, but at the same time excited.
