American Women Equality

Most religions argue that there is equality between sexes within their religious groups but there is further evidence to question this. In religious organisations they are mainly male dominated. In Orthodox, Catholism and Judaism women are all forbidden to

In Envisioning Women in World History, by Catherine Clay, Chandrika Paul, and Christine Senecal many of the societies treated their women as in superior to men especially in religious cultures. These societies believed that men were superior intellectually and physically restraining women from many experiences. Although the laws that women had to endure became harsher when religion was involved most of the times. Some of the hardships that women before 1500 had to endure were, lack of citizenship in Greece and Rome, arranged marriages, and not being able to leave the house alone. Most women had to go through tougher times then men after the Paleolithic era, but the ones that had the least amount of power were the Muslims. Christian women

Upon losing the election to become the 45th president of the United States, Hillary Clinton gave a concession speech and told “all the little girls who are watching this...never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and to achieve your own dreams” (Clinton). While Candidate Hillary Clinton said these girls are “deserving of every chance,” our society may prove otherwise. Although women today are no longer denied basic rights such as voting, our patriarchal society still sets up barriers, which limit a woman’s ability to be considered equal to a man. Here, “equal” would be defined as being perceived in the same light for equal opportunities and outcomes. Similarly, Christian women today are not limited in the same ways they were in early Christianity; however, the Bible still presents women in subalternate roles, compared to men. In American society today, there are double standards in the way men and women are perceived that date back to “traditional” Biblical expectations of women being subservient to men.

Ever since the creation of man, the male sex has dominated historic social-sexual hierarchies. In humankind’s creation according to the bible, women (Eve) sinned by misbehaving towards her lord and savior. As Islam is heavily based on Christianity, did this ideology develop this stigma toward women in society? Do societies follow one another in their way of thinking? Delving deep into historic texts such as Ban Zhao’s Lessons for Women, The Laws of Manu, The Code of Hammurabi and a collection of songs from Buddhist nuns may provide insight into these questions.

Since the Christian religion was a large and prominent force in the everyday life in the average person in the 17th and 18th century, the Bible was a large influence in how the woman was seen in society as it says, “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church…” (Ephesians 5:22-23, 33). The Bible is that the woman was ruled by her husband, that she didn’t even have her own head, and cannot think for herself because it was expected by the very faith that she must submit to her husband. The Holy Book also says that the woman was created from the rib of the man, which it is known now as completely preposterous, so it implies that the woman is inferior to man because she was created from man, because heaven forbid that any evidence point towards that it is man that came from a woman.

over women, and this can be seen in various ways. One might even say that it was through religion that the relationship is carried on throughout everyday life. Some of these religions that exemplify the superiority/ inferiority relationship are: Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam. An example is in the Bible where God took man’s rib and made woman. Also in the religion, Islam, woman were not even allowed to worship with the men. Lastly, many people in the Buddhism religion think that women are just possessions and treat them terribly because of that.

From prehistory to 600 BCE, gender roles have been influenced by religion in many civilizations. In ancient Mesopotamia, “The Mesopotamian woman's role was strictly defined. She was the daughter of her father or the wife of her husband. Women rarely acted as individuals outside the context of their families. Those who did so were usually royalty or the wives of men who had power and status” (University of Chicago). In Mesopotamia’s polytheistic religion, women were only known as the mother of a son, or the wife to a husband. This was influenced by the religion because the many gods influenced how men and women were treated in Mesopotamia. This is similar to how women were treated in another civilization at the time, Israel. In Israel, women would not own property or get a divorce, and, if involved with extramarital relations, would be put to death. According to the Oxford Research

From flagrant magazines on the rack to photoshopped public figures to shapely models on the runway, there is no product better advertised than sex, and no sex better advertised than the feminine variety. Despite all of the legal progress for women’s equality, socially men and women will always be unequal and this injustice must be repaired. No amount of protest and no amount of activism can fix the rampant misogyny in America today, for one simple reason: it just isn’t reason enough to. Our disgraceful society needs immediate and full resolution, but fortunately, such radical change has a simple solution: unlearning.

For my whole life woman have not had equal opportunities as men. Pay for woman in the same jobs are significantly less than males and this isn't just a United States issue this is a global issue. Woman in all cultures are repressed not because of what they look like but for their gender. As it is difficult to address and solve this issue abroad I am only focusing on fixing this at home. This is not just a problem for woman this is a problem for families. Families make less money and financial situations become more and more difficult for single mothers. It's important that we combat this through a petition not only in my state but the whole United States. There is nothing wrong with wanting gender equality. It is wrong to

In today’s society, many people in the US believe that women and men are completely equal. This is a common thought because people think that if both sexes can vote, both are equal everywhere else. Of course, this is not true. Many of the issues referred to in this essay are hidden from the public eye. For example, sexual harassment is something that you know exists, but you never see it happen. Noticing the pay gap, and getting promoted is also something hidden unless you are a worker. Women may have gained their “equality” when they earned the right to vote, but today’s women still push for total equality. In the US, men and women are not treated equally because women are paid less than men, women are sexually harassed more than men, and

has more to do with character and the nature of what it is to be

The Bible is controversial on the matter of gender equality. There are numerous contradictions about the status of women in Christian society. Historically, the most prominent interpretation has been rather negative toward women. The Christian Church, with principally male authority, emphasizes the idea that women are inferior to man. They focus on Eve’s sin leading to a punishment that “her husband will have authority over her.” (Drury, 34)

When talking about religion and gender, sociologists are interested in how the roles of both men and women differ from one another across many different religions. As with many aspects of the world, women generally are at a disadvantage, especially in the religious realm. Sex segregation plays a role in religion and gender. Women and men often hold positions of very different amounts of power.

Many things led up to the start of World War I. There was much tension between the countries of Europe for more than fifty years. There were immediate causes, and long-term causes. Some immediate causes were the assassination of the heir of Austria-Hungry, Germany declares war on Russia, Germany declares war on France, and Great Britain declares war on Germany. Some long-term causes or basic causes were imperialism, nationalism, and the arms race.
