Controversial Arguments Against Women

The movie Peter Pan (1953) is about how Wendy and her brothers believe in silly fantasies but to her dad it seems to be problem since Wendy is already a young lady and needs to act more like her own age and stop acting like a little girl. So Peter Pan takes Wendy and her brothers to Neverland so they never have to grow up. He takes her so she could be a mother to the lost kids in Neverland. While they are th they have many fun experiences like meeting mystical creatures for example mermaids and fairies.Wendy uses this experience to realize she can’t stay a kid forever and that she has to go back and grow up. To anyone this movie is nothing more than a movie for children, but

Women have been downgraded and mistreated because of their gender. From birth, Women and Men grew up with very different rules to follow. Men were raised to be the head of the house and do work for a living. Growing up as little girls, women were taught to raise their kids and make food for their families. “Strong family structures were necessary because the family was the basis for all other institutions. The government, church, and community all worked through the nuclear family unit.”(“Gender and

In the world today, women have a say in what they want to do and things that they desire to do. Back in the day, before the 1800’s, women had to be submissive to their male counterparts and do according to what was required of them. In the end, this led to the demeaning of the woman and the concept that women were inferior to men. Even though this concept and perception changed, there have been some countries and regions of the world that have not yet recognized the equality that women deserve. Such areas do not allow women to vote, attend school, have a say in the community, and the women are at the mercy of their husbands, fathers or male superiors (Hartmann, Susan M).

Throughout the history of society, women and men both have faced the constricting roles forced upon them, from a young age; each gender is given specific social and cultural roles to play out throughout their lives. Little girls are given dolls and kitchen toys, little boys are given dinosaurs and power tool toys, if one was to step out of this specified role, social conflict would ensue. Contrast to popular belief, sex is a biological construct, and gender is a social construct specifying the roles men and women are to follow to be accepted into society as “normal”. The effects of gender roles have had on women have proved harmful over the decades. Although the woman’s involvement in society has improved throughout the decades,

In the national General Social Survey (GSS), more than one-third of the public agree with this statement: “It is much better for everyone involved if the man is the achiever outside the home and the woman takes care of the home and family.” Thus, the cultural belief of Woman’s Rights is (and is still) being used today. Though with it’s positive actions also comes with its strained bias and social issues. Women are often treated by men as “pure” and should be “protected”

The use of the logical appeals in “6 Feminist Myths That Will Not Die” by Christina Hoff Sommers addresses six hot-button issues that many feminists claim to be true. She debunks these myths using statistics and reliable up to date sources to assure readers that these wide known _____ are myths. Hoff Sommers uses Ethos and Logos to support her reasoning throughout the article, however, her arguments seem to lack pathos.

Abortion is a social and political issue that many people worldwide feel strongly about. Although the thought of “killing” another human being sounds horrific, it may be the only choice. The question that is often asked, does a woman have the right to choose what happens to her unborn child. Since a woman must carry a child during pregnancy and then be responsible for its physical, intellectual, and emotional well-being, as well as the enormous expense associated with raising a child, she should be allowed to decide if she wants an abortion.

Controversy surrounding equality between men and women has always been present in history. Throughout centuries women suffrage has taken a tole in the way society views women. The positions and rights of women possess improvement through the last century.The status of Women in society has been jeopardized throughout the last decade. Misogynistic acts and practices have created a negative affect as to how women should behave and act. It is because of these social judgements that women face the progression of women as equal as men. Insinuated and conspicuous sexism lingers among educational, professional, and economic social structures. Women who deliberately pursue their assumed roles do not view it as oppressive compulsion in their life. Betty Friedan took a stand for women by refusing to deal with a society that actively oppressed and silenced women who were expected to fulfill certain roles . Such assertive roles disregarded the commitment of educated and motivated women , instead it delivered a inconspicuous message to society saying that educated women were greedy and vile.

During the late 19th and 20th century, many political and social events like the persons case, suffrage, and both world wars aided in transforming Canada 's meaning and purpose for a woman. Many political figures like Emily Murphy and Alberta 's Famous Five played large roles in characterizing the rights and freedoms of a woman. Secondly, the roaring twenties was a time for females to challenge their traditional roles and prove that they have much broader capabilities than to stay at home. Finally, women began to fill the gap of men in the workforce and assisted overseas during the world wars. Both world wars served to shift gender roles in Canada since women in Canada participated in non-traditional roles and gained political rights.

The oppression of women has been brought into light in the recent years but it was the norm in many societies in early history especially in premodern east Asia. During that time, the roles of men and women in society were determined by great scholars that had the power to get their voice to be heard and set general rules in society. In China, scholars like Confucius, Mencius, and Mozi had great impact on the way people divided the roles between men and women. The overall oppression of women in premodern east Asia can be seen through quotes from great scholars about how women should be obedient to men, should not make important decisions in their families, and are not spoken of equally to men in society.

Her work would emphasize the commonalities of the sexes, not their differences. She also deemphasized the differences between races and sex. She referred to the Constitution’s wording when speaking of or defending women’s rights by using phrases such as “the people,” “citizens,” and “persons.” She also took a different approach when addressing her audiences. Unlike most female reformers of the time, she used a more masculine style of delivery. She delivered her own speeches directly, addressed both sexes of audiences while in public, and used debates, lectures, and oratory to make her arguments. This was uncommon since most women of the time relied on male family and friends for their support. However, she did not rely solely upon logic

Contrary to popular belief, men are more affected by the countless stereotypes forced upon them; from a small age they are told not to cry or not use a certain color marker. These gender roles can seriously damage the way that child thinks and how they control their emotions. On the other hand, women have been oppressed since the dawn of time they have been excluded and discriminated against, treated like the most fragile glass in the universe. In the western world where rights claim to be equal among all, many of these equalities are twisted to fit the will of people who wish to oppress and control. Because of these inequalities a girl in athens is denied education and looks out a window yearning to be taught as her brother is, a soon to be mother comes to the realization that all her hard work towards her career was for nothing, and a startling suicide rate of 7/10 and 3.5x climbs higher every

Girls, young women, and mature mothers. Society has consistently given women strict guidelines, rules and principles on how to be an appropriate member of a man’s society. These rules are set at a young age and enforced thoroughly into adulthood. When not followed accordingly, women often times too many face reprimanding through means of verbal abuse, physical abuse, or social exile. In the midst of all these strict guidelines and social etiquette for girls, a social rebellion started among girls and women and gender roles were broken, however the social rebellion did not and does not affect all girls and women. For instance, in less socially developed places, young girls on the brink of womanhood are still strongly persuaded to be a man’s idea of a “woman”.

Not only are woman subjected to society norms based on their personality characteristics, but also on their life choices and “domestic responsibilities” questions arise for woman like “who will care for you children and husband”. Montague Kern and Paige P. Edley state that women will continue to be “criticized for abandoning their traditional family roles” (1). This topic is not something that is brought up to their male counterparts. I don’t believe I have ever heard a man be questioned on who was going to assume the responsibility of raising their children. So until society genuinely accepts that raising children and other domestic issues are shared endeavors, then women will continue to face this barrier. (Robson, 208)

Second, Virginia Military Institute (VMI) forbid women from their admissions and denied women equal protection violating their 14th Amendment rights. In the State of Virginia, this was the only educational institute that did in fact excluded women. Furthermore, due to the institute’s rigorous training techniques they refused admissions to women. Consequently, their resolution was to establish an all-women’s accommodating facility with different teaching practices, academic offerings, and less monetary resources. Separate is not equal. U.S. V. Virginia, 518 U.S. 306 (1996). The standard review for any gender controversy is intermediate scrutiny. VMI failed to provide an exceedingly persuasive justification for discriminating against women. Even though, men and women are inherently different to discriminate stymies women’s opportunities. VMI makes various arguments that are all rejected by the court. In addition to this, VMI fell short in making an argument for exceedingly persuasive justification required to have a separate gender based classification. VMI’s long running tradition of excluding women is ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. In 1997, thirty-one women would be admitted to the institution.
