Double Standards

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

A lot of people think that women should not get drafted in the military. I personally do not think that women should get drafted because who is going to stay home and watch the kids, clean the house, and make dinner. Yes there are a lot of women that are going to disagree with me just because they think that they should have equal rights to men which they do they just do not understand that. Some reasons for women to no be drafted is because they cannot pick a 180 pound man if they are 100 pounds, they cannot neccsraily do everything men can do and they need to stay at home and take care of the children.

Women should be required to sign up for the draft. The main reason why we weren't required to sign up is that we were deemed the caretakers and needed to stay home and take care of the kids. The issue with this is because there are families where there is only one dad or two dads where all/both dads are required to sign up and -worst case scenario- then the kids would be left alone. There are also women who are twice as qualified to be in the army as some men and just because you're a man it doesn't mean you're fit to be in the

Now a big point that is brought up about woman having to sign up for the selective service (the draft) is that woman are needed to make baby’s, which

Men and women deserve to have the same chance when applying for colleges. There are many woman who have protested to have equal rights, they felt like they were not being treated fairly, which is in part true. A lot of people think that woman should stay home and clean the house, or take care of the children, while the man is out working. Yes it is the man 's job to provide for his family, but women should be able to go to work if they want to. Women should also have the same equality when applying for colleges. There is a great need for men and women in the world, for example there is a great need for teacher in certain places in the world, so many children, and adults need to be taught. There is equal opportunity for both men and women in teaching. There is also an equal opportunity for men and women in medicine, and many other careers, there is no

Let us face the facts, it is this the 21st century, women should be required to sign up for the draft. Women are aloud to enlist in the military, and into any branch, so women should also have the civic duty to enlist. In the later generations of the world, women have never been thought of as equal citizens, but in the 21st century that has changed. The world should accommodate to the change also. To match up to how the country has transformed the government should also look into rewording the constitution, but for now a change in the draft would do. The extensive worry is who will raise our next generation, and will there even be a next generation if all the youngest our out fighting? Back to my first argument, draftees would be given a choice, and I think if women joined the military draft, we would have several other opportunities arise in the future

In a time of war, you need all hands-on deck and by not allowing women to be subject to draft you are cutting the numbers in half. Now I am not saying rip every mother from her child and put them on the front lines however there are plenty of jobs in the forces that women are capable of doing if the time came. Truck drivers, medics, technicians and many more positions are suitable for women that do not involve putting them all in the center of the battle. We are one of the few countries that do not draft women because of

It took a very long time to get women’s rights close to what men’s are, but it is still not perfectly equal. In the present day, their rights are still not the same. In Abigail Adam’s letter, dated 1776, to her husband she asked him to “remember the ladies” and to not put so much power in the hands of the husbands. It wasn’t until 1920 when the 19th amendment was added to the U.S. constitution saying that that women would not be denied the right to vote. But, women are still considered even today not as athletic or as smart as men. Only recently have women been allowed to fight in the front lines. Women

A draft is compulsory recruitment for military service. The draft was meant for young men only but, since women want the same right as men, the questions is should they register for draft? In my own opinion, I don’t think women should register for the draft. They shouldn’t because, they have to take care of the kids, they are not as strong as men physically and the enemy will target them the most.

On the other hand, I believe women shouldn’t register for draft at

n Pride & Prejudice, written by Jane Austen, and The Importance of Being Earnest, written by Oscar Wilde, hypocrisy, lies, and double standards during the Victorian Era are common themes that expose the characters’ sheer ridiculousness and highlight issues within this community. Double standards and hypocrisy are evident in many instances such as with the role of men and women within this particular society, fake and real identities, deceit that was common in the Victorian era, and the characters’ [absurd] morals. Within both texts along with additional sources, the authors used multiple literary devices to depict the hypocrisy of this society and mock the characters’ actions and decisions. According to writer Priscilla Gilman’s “"Disarming reproof": pride and prejudice and the power of criticism.”

Men and Women's lives are controlled by the double standards all around them. Every gender is told how to feel and how not to feel, how to act and how not to act rather than just acting and feeling as they want to. The lives of human beings are plagued by these awful societal rules that are all meaningless. Despite the progress made in equality for men and women, double standards create inequality for both genders.

It is worthwhile to reflect on the social and political advancements of women during the past one hundred years. Women now have the right to vote and to own property. They let their voices be heard instead of sitting silently in the kitchen. Women hold jobs previously restricted to men - police officer, firefighter, construction worker, doctor, truck driver and scientist. Obviously, this list is not all inclusive. Unfortunately, there is still one area that remains restricted to women. Women have assisted the military forces as far back as the Revolutionary War and yet there remains positions that women are excluded from. Female military personnel, having proven their ability to handle combat situations and having

Voltaire once said, “It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.” This quote explains how there are double standards in society. For example, people condemn murders, yet still go to war with other countries. There are a lot of double standards in society regarding women, men, and wealth. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s seminal novel The Scarlet Letter proves that society has double standards. These double standards are evident through Mistress Hibbons social rank, Hester’s place in society, and the town's reaction to Dimmesdale’s sin. One of the best examples of a double standard, is a person with a higher social rank is able to avoid the consequences of their sins.

     Women should never be let into the military because America is not ready to see their mothers and daughters go to war. During wartime, when the men get drafted to go to war, the women are the backbone of the economy and the major suppliers of the labor in factories. Young children, with their mothers and fathers drafted, would have no place to go. A husband who’s wife gets drafted would eagerly take her place. Sixty year old fathers would also do the same for their daughters. Women nurture our society and do a great job at it. Half of the motivation of the soldiers on the front lines is the women that they left behind.
