Female hysteria

Here at Springfield College where I attend as a female student, I have realized that there is severe overtreatment, as well as under treatment, but sometimes even equal treatment of males compared to females in the classroom/labs, dorms, gym, cafeteria, extracurricular activities, and any other places where institution sponsored events occur. There happens to be a greater amount of cases where males are treated superior to women, rather than the other way around or equal- in my opinion. Granted,…

However, the men within the dentistry field continue to significantly outweigh the female counterparts. For example, when comparing the dentistry and engineering field to nursing and teaching fields, nursing and teaching has always been a common job for women. The amount of women pursuing a job as a nurse has only decreased by 5.5% from 1972 to 2003, by this change; females are gradually leaving behind the traditional female careers and moving into traditional male careers. As for women having a…

tyrannize”(Wollstonecraft Page 7). Some females are nervous about facing the men and achieving justice. One example of that would be Jennifer Lawrence. When wages for one of her movies were leaked and she realized that she was making significantly less than the other males, she was not aggravated. She did not “want to seem "difficult" or "spoiled"” (Jennifer Lawrence). She then went to question, “Are we socially conditioned to behave this way?”. That is an interesting thought. Females in the…

education, and improve their knowledge and skills. Sandberg empowers women to keep moving forward and aspiring more than the regular “woman’s obligation” of staying at home and raising children. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, females are more likely to attend college immediately after high school graduation than males. Their statistics show that women college enrollment has increased 12 percent between 1990 and 2010 (12). However, women tend to choose degrees in…

Theorists like Micheal Foucault and Judith Butler have provided great insight on various topics and critiquing what does not get questioned. Foucault has inspired Butler when it comes to the topics of gender and sex. Butler challenges the ideas that have been inculcated in our own culture by exposing the truth behind what is considered normal and critiquing the binaries in society. Queer theory is important to address because of the lack of knowledge our society has on queerness. Butler’s ideas…

gender equality is that the perpetual battle, has been triumphed. Contrastingly, mankind is not only fighting the same battles as the 1920s but finding new ones. In order to eradicate gender based barriers it is pivotal to determine the origin of female suppression. Throughout WWI, there were several major women’s rights movement that were prominent, however most resulted in minute progress. There were many events during the time that interrupted the momentum of the women’s rights movement. The…

In fact, during the Shakespearean era, women in England were socially and mentally restricted until they practically had no personal identity without men. Few characters embody this concept more accurately than Ophelia in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The female social order operated under such extremes within the play that the men in Ophelia’s life constantly instruct her on what she should think, how she should act, and who she should talk to. This causes Ophelia to become virtually incapable of…

Goodbye to Girlhood. (Article 34) The main idea of this article was describing how media was changing people, mainly females about how they look and act. Media was described as taking over girl’s lives. For example, by showing them unrealistic views and acts of other girls their age. It has been studied and more females have gotten diagnosed with depression, eating disorders, or very low self-esteem now at a lower age. Now, girls are focusing on being/looking sexy and fitting in rather than…

look at it as a yearly salary that is a big difference. Manny women, i.e. single mothers, would need that extra $2,000 or more a year to take care of their family. In 2014, there was a study to determine what the median annual wages for both male and female over all 50 states. In the state of Alabama, there is approximately a $12,000 difference between a man and a woman’s income (The Simple Truth about the Gender Pay Gap). Women just want equality. Some don’t like coming second to a man. The…

and it is based on what it means to be a male or female. Genders have assigned roles that they are meant to follow based on their genitalia they are born with. Sexuality is based on people who are physically attracted to when it in regards to forming physical relationships. Sexuality is based on either being gay or straight with little room for acceptance of any other type of sexuality. With gender, there is only two options of being a male or female and who you are is defined by what gender…
