The Issues Of Women 's Rights

Today, many recognize gender as a spectrum, but understand it in a linear fashion not too different from the original dichotomy of two opposing sexes. On one end sits masculinity, and on the other, femininity. In the instance of people coming out as transgender in the workplace, they were perceived as having jumped from one end of the spectrum to the other with a complete one-eighty degree twist. The definition of gender is multifaceted, and some people may place more importance on it than others. Rather than conduct a scientific study on what defines gender, I’d like to encourage people to take the more widespread knowledge of binary feminism and expand that knowledge to include genderqueer individuals. Be aware that others may fall outside your notion of gender, and do not punish them for that. Do not expect a person to act in a certain “feminine” or “masculine” way any more than one might expect a man or woman to act only within their allowed sphere - but do not criticize someone who does act in what might be considered traditionally “masculine” or “feminine” way for doing

Although the issue of women’s rights has attracted international recognition and support, women still face many inequalities and barriers. Gender-based violence and economic discrimination are problems in many parts of the world.

Perhaps, you are asking yourself this question, what is gender dysphoria? I have the answer. Gender dysphoria is “ the diagnosis typically given to a person whose assigned birth gender is not the same as the one with which they identify.” However, let’s not confuse this with sexual orientation, this does not mean they are homosexual, this means they do not identify who they are as their given birth

In recent news it is suggested that gender recognition is something a person is born into. This recognition is not necessarily in line with the physical recognition of gender as we are all accustomed. What happens when a person who is physically female, sees themselves as cognitively male.

The United States of America was built on the unfair labor of others. The United States used slaves to produce an abundant amount of cotton in the South. Many mill owners started using children to work in the factories. Later on, many mill owners employed young, unmarried women to work in the textile mills, straightening cotton threads as the cotton entered the water-powered looms. The United States has been developed on wrongful labor of others by racism being the effect of slavery, lack of education being the effect of child labor, and unfair woman rights being the effect of the labor of Lowell females.

There has been a substantial amount of progress in women's rights since America was founded. Before women were only seen as housewives and nothing else. Now women can be anything they set their mind to. However, even though there are more opportunities they still suffer inequality.

The fight for women’s rights in America has been a long one, spanning many generations. It has been a little less than a century since women saw their first significant victory in the 19th Amendment, which acknowledged women’s the right to vote. Of course, women forged on, calling for more recognition and equality in the workplace, the classroom, and the church. Among them stood leading women like Mary Daly, who “trenchantly and thoroughly assailed the deification of maleness in the church” (West 113). However, these feminist leaders were predominantly white, middle-class women whose main issue was that they were women. In the mid-1900s, racism was still a normal part of American society, which was evident in the beginnings of the feminist

Throughout history, battles and wars have been fought to gain some type of rights or freedoms. In 1775, the American Revolutionary War was fought for independence; In 1865, the American Civil War was fought to end slavery. Although no wars were fought, many battles were waged for women 's rights. The struggle for women 's rights begin in the mid-late 1800s at a time when women were not allowed to vote or own property. Women, as with African-Americans, during this period were not recognized as having any legal and political rights as men and whites, respectively. This attitude towards women, at the time, was ascribed to the “gender rules in the 1700s” where men thought of “women as fragile creatures always in need of male protection and always denied access to the public sphere." (Lecture 2, 6:19). If women wanted to gain their individualism, rights, and freedoms they were entitle to; they would have to unite and create opportunities to do so. The inequalities women faced was the foundation of the Women 's Suffrage Movement and many other organizations in support of women.

I remember in the 10th grade when my English teacher had us do a class poll. He told us to raise your hand if you believed that woman's in today's world are treated fairly. I was the only student to not raise her hand. Because I knew that woman in America might have a lot of rights but in the rest of the world women are treated as Second class citizens. The 19th amendment states “guarantees all American women the right to vote”. Most countries allow women to vote but I think it's sad that it took so long for many of these countries to give women a right that they deserve. Vatican City the home of the pope is the only place a women can not vote. This brings up the fact that religion is the main reason why women do not have many of the rights

Throughout history women’s rights have been a conflict in society because of the many unfair advantages given to men and not women. Social injustice is shown through women’s rights by their voting rights, employment, and healthcare. Due to these dilemmas women all over the world have gathered together to create a group enforcing women’s rights. For example, in the book, The American Women’s Movement it talks about the group known as “The National Organization for Women (NOW)” (MacLean 71). It became one of the largest, most membered feminist organization in the country. The organization branched out to different sized region cities.

Many members of the transgender community treated harshly and unfairly in professional and social settings. This leads to violet mental health problems, and devalues the lives of many productive members of society. A term used for people who identify as a different gender than the sex they were born with. Gender Identity- One 's personal concept of whether they are a man, a woman, gender non-conforming, bi-gendered, etc. Gender expression- The external representation of one 's gender. Sex- The anatomical categorization of male or female that one assigned to at birth. “I do not look like a little girl. I am a little girl. This is what five year old Josie Romero claimed in National T.V (Innes 5) Biologically Josie was born as Joey a male but now she identifies herself a female (1). Many accuse and criticize

Gender and sex are terms that are used interchangeably. Gender biology includes sex hormones, external genitalia, and internal reproductive structures. Gender identity falls under the lines of one’s internal sense of self as male, female, both, or neither. Together the intersection

Globally, we have huge disparities in the ways which genders live and are treated. In the United States, our mainstream society has began to move away from traditional values and expectations, to accept a wide range of personal identities, understanding that who we are (within ourselves, toward each other and within the world) is influenced by many factors. Regardless of the advances and efforts made in promoting an aware and receptive environment, there are many people and many cultures who adhere to century-old traditions and beliefs, denying the complex mechanisms which affect, and sometimes completely determine, our development and our outcomes. Science has begun to explore the brain and it’s development in relation to gender and sexuality, extant research has provided us with a range of literature and resources, elucidating the foundations of our

Kristen A. Burgess, Emory University School of Medicine and Charles F Gillespie M.D., PhD, department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Emory University School of Medicine, state that “gender identity disorder is a mental disorder in which gender identity is incongruent with anatomical sex”. Individuals experience different degrees of unhappiness with their sex at birth, which in turn causes them to pursue the life and body of the opposite sex (2010).

! When we think of ourselves as male or female, it 's called gender identity,
