Stereotypes: The Issue Of Equality Between Men And Women

The constitution's 14th amendment is to protect the right of all citizens, but that does not guarantee the discrimination of the sex. The equal rights movement would make a better standard for deciding on cases of sex discrimination. The 14th amendment does not protect anyone from sex discrimination. The ERA would provide legal defense to women's rights. This amendment would help all humanity, not just women.

One Amendment that I, as a woman, would not be able to live without is the 19th; “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex”. This right only came about within the last 100 years is the result of more than 70 years of struggle by women suffragists. With this amendment women can vote for change that will help to bring about total equality between the genders and although I am not yet able to use this power, my future depends on it.

Current laws to prevent sex discrimination just aren’t enough. The federal laws and regulations contain many loopholes and they are inconsistently interpreted, or even ignored. Women who seek enforcement of these laws must not only convince the courts that discrimination has occurred, but that it even matters. An Equal Rights Amendment would not only guarantee equality, it would take the burden off women fighting discrimination and hold those who discriminate accountable.

In 1921, women were granted suffrage, but suffragists were still hungry for more. Knowing that the right to vote would not eliminate sex discrimination in America, Alice Paul wrote the Equal Rights Amendment to step closer to equality. After half a century of struggle, women in America are still fighting for rights that men were given to when they were born. Even though women are just as intelligent, capable and hardworking as men, if not more, they are not considered an equal under the U.S. Constitution. Can you believe that today, in the 21st century, we still degrade women and treat them as inferiors to men? Can you believe that just because you are a woman, you are less than equal to the male population? Look around you, all those boys and girls are not equal to each other under our “just” country’s laws. As it is long overdue, the Equal Rights Amendment should be ratified because there is no other amendment that talks about sex discrimination, it would eliminate any inequality in regards to sex, and it would make the judicial stance on sex discrimination cases much clearer.

This relates to the Constitution because even though it is not about voters rights for women it is about the treatment of women in this country. For example, if you have a man working in a female prison this would never happen because of the culture we have surrounded ourselves in this country. Another example that this is a culture thing is because look at all of the directors who would sexually assault women because they are in a position of power. I think this is similar to how racism is a part of this country. It will not be solved because there will always be people who

The 19th amendment was the true beginning of the women's fight for their rights, because the right to vote provides a powerful voice. In the twenties, women were discriminated - sadly, they still are - so society didn't let them vote. However, women didn't accept it, and they began to fight for their right to vote. Senator Aaron A. Sargent introduced the Nineteenth Amendment to the Congress, which prohibited denying the right of vote to U.S. citizens based on their sex. In 1919, the Congress passed the amendment, and in 1920 it was ratified. Today, women not only can vote, but they also have participation on the government, for example Madeleine Albright. She was the first woman that became the Secretary of States on the United States. Even

Females were upset when they weren’t included in the amendment. The Declaration states, “that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” However still excluding women aren’t giving them rights, life, and happiness. Here America isn’t living up to its promises as well.

Women were strictly mothers and wives. This Amendment created new roles for women, new laws for equality, a boost in the economy, and many other changes to the United States. The 19th amendment greatly affected the U.S and changed society. The 19th amendment had a large political impact.

This amendment, ratified on August 18, 1920, guaranteed all American women the right to vote. This amendment, initiated to advance the cause of equal rights for women, was the culmination of the women's suffrage movement in the United States, which fought at both state and national levels to achieve the vote. This constitutional amendment was initiated to enfranchise all American women and declare that they, like men, are deserving of all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. Women were granted the right to participate in politics, which initially was only given to men. As a direct result of this, women began to enter the political sphere and workplace; they began to pursue their dreams without feeling restricted due to their

The current situation with equal pay in America is that women of every race is paid less than men, at every education level. This amendment is needed so that women can take care of their families better, it's a global problem, equal pay for women can help end poverty, and to help better retirement. This amendment is meant to address the problems we have with equal pay around America.

If you asked a fourth grader when women had the right to vote they’d probably answer the same time as men. Unfortunately, that was not the case if history serves. Women haven’t been able to vote for even a hundred years yet, and while that is important in general, it’s also important to me. The first reason the 19th amendment is important to me is because it’s one of the movements women and men had to fight for in American history.

While there are many amendments to the U.S. Constitution that have impacted our society and nation, I believe that the 19th amendment to the Constitution is one of the most important events in our history. The 19th amendment states, “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” (1) There are several reasons why I find this amendment to be important, and I will discuss each point. Women have been fighting in our armed forces since the civil war. Women helped colonize the United States. Women are the backbone of our society.

The Equal Rights Amendment was created to give equal rights to both female and male because they weren’t getting treated equally. Women didn’t have the same rights as males, one of them was voting and during that time it was a really big problem in the U.S. Also, because there was so much sex discrimination like females weren’t getting the respect they should and they would treat them so bad, because women couldn’t vote, own

Not only did women need the right to express their political opinion, many women felt they were being oppressed. Why should a woman be considered less important than a man? The American woman, that gave birth to the American man can’t vote, but her son can? Even after the 15th Amendment was passed claiming it gave equal rights to all of its citizens, it somehow did not apply to women. The 19th Amendment unified suffrage laws all across the United States. Once the 19th Amendment was passed, no American citizen could be turned away from the voting polls. Without this amendment, we would not have all the powerful female leaders we have today and in the past. Just a few include: Hattie Wyatt Caraway who was elected into the senate in 1931 (In Arkansas!), Frances Perkins who was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt to serve as Secretary of Labor in 1933, and of course the currently controversial presidential candidate, Hillary Rodham Clinton, with many more to name.

Secondly This amendment affected the people who didnt have the money or right to vote.Also the women were greatful so they didnt have to protest anymore.For the people that didnt money had a relief becuase
