Analysis Of Equality Of The Sexes By Judith Sargent Murray

On January 21, 2017, more than 2 million people protested in the Women’s March when president Donald J. Trump was elected (Przybyla and Schouten). Many marching for the same equals that they had been fighting for more than 100 years ago.

This was a clear and powerful infringement on their social rights. As explained in Document 1 Bigelow Bill, women in the United States of America could not regularly attend a university until the year 1837. Many people in power wanted to repress women's education to keep them small-minded. They thought that without an education, women would be unable to share their voices and be powerful. Since many people were misogynistic and discriminatory, they believed that women shouldn't make a fuss or be outwardly open in a public setting.

In the late 1800’s women were tired of being put on the back burner. Women were not able to vote, work certain jobs and some were not able to get a basic education.

1.T.Hall was singled out because he had both qualities of male and female. Because of this fact, he played the roles of female and male. This made people upset, because there was clear guidelines and social rules that must be in place for both genders. The idea that a female can role-play as a male and gain the same rights of males scared many people.

Lastly, public education became important, and the states need to fund the schools. Over time more and more public school were opened. Women were not supported to continue their education after they learned how to read and write. Also, there were not many colleges that would allow women to attend them. Also, they wanted to separate the man and women

The mid-19th century was a critical time in the fight for equal rights for both women and slaves in America. While blacks struggled for the chance to be free from physical slavery, women were embroiled in their own battle for equal reciprocity of rights. Women did not have the right to vote or have access to education and in many cases, were raised to be married off to be homemakers. This led to women seeking their equal access to resources that would allow them to advance their lives creating a better future for themselves. Gender equality means that everyone, regardless of gender, deserves equal treatment and access to opportunities. Allowing for everyone competes creates a more rounded and diverse society with a free marketplace of ideas. However, certain accommodations must be made in order to ensure that everyone can compete fairly.

Two years after the Seneca Falls convention, the very first National Women’s Rights Convention was called to order in Brinley Hall in Worcester, Massachusetts, on October 23–24, 1850. Many famous women rights advocates attended the convention including Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Lucretia Mott. Over a thousand people attended the convention making Brinley Hall overflow with people. The speakers addressed many issues on women’s equality such as higher education, the right to own property, and to vote. Many newspapers wrote reviews about the conventions some positive and some negative, but no matter what side they were committed to they helped shine a light on the issues of women’s equality and gained many supporters (“mass movements”).

My experience, or “biography” with gender and gender inequality can be attributed to what C. Wright Mills’s calls “history”, or the social world. According to Mills, our individual lives interact with society to formulate our experiences. This perspective “enables us to grasp history and biography and the relations between the two within society” (C. Wright Mills 3). As discussed in Module Twelve: Gender, Work, and Family, women and men are placed into two separate spheres; the private sphere and the public sphere. My life experiences relate to the private sphere, which is associated with femininity and domestic work. Society reserves the public sphere for men only, in which they are dominant and “breadwinners”. This is the sphere that I have been conditioned by society to not pursue.

For many centuries women have often argued and fought for the same equal rights as men. In my short life time, I have witnessed arguments take place to whether women were experienced enough to hold political possessions such as President of the United States or whether they are qualified to fill combat possessions in the military. Debates also take place to whether women are knowledgeable enough to be the CEO of a major business. A very dark time in the lives of women occurred during the Romantic Movement in the 18th century. This is a time where most women were poorly educated. Instead of taking philosophy, history, English or math classes; their education consisted of basically making them attractive to find a husband. Their education

From birth, humans develop an understanding of appropriate emotions and social etiquette through experiencing and perceiving the environment. Else-Quest, Higgins, Allison and Morton (2012) carried out a meta-analysis examining the dynamics of four main emotions defined as SCE (self-conscious emotions), and how each SCE differs between genders. It is shame, guilt, pride and embarrassment that drive us to be more socially accepted, creating barriers around the ‘norms’ of our behaviour, thoughts and feelings.

This incorporates History in the case of women’s rights. There were many men who believed that women should only be considered housewives. When men everywhere in the United States went to war during World War I, women were called in to take their places in the working world. Women believed that they should get equal pay for their work while filling in, but the employers believed otherwise; they believed that women should continue to get paid less because they had less capabilities than men. The women criticized the employers until they got somewhat of a payoff in their quest for equality with men: the Nineteenth Amendment added to the United States Constitution. Eventually, throughout all the protests and strikes, women broke through the “deafness” of men, and received a reward for their

Butler starts by taking a gander at the issues of characterizing woman. In the past woman 's rights has considered ladies to be its subjects for political representation. Butler, nonetheless, contends that we can 't consider women to be a bound together homogenous gathering subsequent to each woman is a one of a kind person. Women are not a unified gathering subsequent to there are a considerable number of divisive contrasts between them. This is a substantial point to make as it would appear to be improbable that a neediness stricken assembly line laborer woman from the Third World would feel she had much in the same manner as a

Equality means the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, and opportunities. How do Americans have equality if women were not allowed to fight during the war. Their jobs in the war were to attend to radios and be nurses for the soldiers. Women could not vote until August 18, 1920. For almost 200 years women were silenced in a country they lived in. They were the backbones of every man, but could not vote. In 2017, women are still unfairly being judged on what they can do, what they cannot do and, how far they can go. It goes to something as small as sports. The WNBA and the NBA are both basketball organizations, except one is for women and the other is for men. The NBA receives more views, more sponsors and more attention than the women do. ¨No matter how many women dunk, no matter how incredible the playoff action might seem, no matter if the league expands to Las Vegas and Cancun and hires the cast members of Glee to hand out $100 bills to every customer, well, the WNBA has been what it is -- a fringe

Gender equality refers to sexual equality that men and women should receive equal treatment as well as equal pay in the work place. Nor should they be discriminated against based on their gender. It can also be referred to as equality of the genders. It basically seeks to create equality in law and in social situations. Gender equality is also working to be present in political activities and securing equal pay in the work place. Gender inequality has gotten a lot better over the years and continues to be making progress towards becoming completely equal.

Gender equality means that all humans without the discrimination of being a man or woman, have the right and opportunity to develop personal abilities and choices without having to deal with any stereotypes. It does not mean that men and women have become one, but they have the same rights, responsibilities, and opportunities which do not depend on the sex of the person (born male or female).
