Society nowadays is fantastic. I was very lucky to be born and already have so many rights. Being born a girl and already having the rights to be equal to the boys. I have always been a person that has challenge the status queue. Girls these days have really taken the chances to be respected. Where ever you go there is a women pushing the limit and trying to be the best. We have women that are climbing the ladder. Condoleezza Rice is a very good example. She is the first African American women to be Secretary of state. But even with women in high places some people don't know what exactly Women Suffrage is.
When I was in high school learning about the about women suffrage my teacher played a prank on everyone. He began by asking everyone if they were for or against Women Suffrage. Most of the kids in my history class of 35 said they were against it and only a few people said no. He then asked why we were against it. It wasn't hard for everyone to answer that beating up women is very wrong and Women shouldn't have to deal with taking beating. All the people that said they were for it said well yeah i'm all for women rights. While some kids laughed my teacher told us that it had no direct meaning of beating up a women. He began with saying we were not the only ones that didn't know. Jay Leno did a similar test in time square and everyone said the same things we did. People need to know and be knowledgeable that women suffrage is women's rights and the right to vote and not about women suffering.
While I agree that we are extremely lucky to have been born already equal to men, I still do not think it is FULLY equal. Women have definitely come a long way and continue to be making more efforts, I totally agree with you! However I feel as if no matter how hard women try, we will always be looked as inferior to men. You are so right with how you said people need to understand that women suffering is a complete different thing then women suffrage! I find this interesting to read because I am writing about the opposite of your argument. I can't wait to read more!
ReplyDeleteI agree women aren't fully equal till this day. Some men are still getting paid more then women in the same position. I feel our generation now had improved a lot on women equality. More women are be head in charge in a lot of important positions and job. Now we as women have the right to do and say things that didn't apply in the past. While it is true some people still don't know the real background information about the women suffrage. How we fought to be where we are now. To finally have the right to vote and be equal as men. To display how much power we have and our opinions matter.
