The Men's Rights Movement

That all social interaction is gendered and guided by status, positions, and roles. I have also learned that when the status and role of male and female become stereotyped it could result in sexism or discrimination. In order to prevent such, feminism is a worldwide movement to end sexism by empowering women. They include: liberal feminism, cultural feminism, socialist feminism, radical feminism, etc.

When thinking about feminism in today’s society we tend to direct our minds and thoughts to a more radical and powerful train of thought. Feminism has been going on for centuries, with two main ideologies at the forefront; liberal and cultural feminism. Someone who identifies as a liberal feminist is someone who believes that women and men are a like and equal in most respects and deserve equal roles and opportunities (Wood & Fixmer-Oraiz, 2017, p. 58). And cultural feminism is someone who identifies as someone who believes that men and women are fundamentally differently; you have different rights, role and opportunities (Wood & Fixmer-Oraiz, 2017, p. 58). The women’s rights movement can be understood and broken down into three “waves”.

The Women’s Rights Movement was the fight for women having equal rights with men. (Women’s Rights) This movement was for women to have the right to vote and the right to work for equal pay. This explains what women were fighting for. On August 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution allowed American women the right to vote. (19th Amendment) “Each individual is to have any freedom to develop by his or her own lights, and not by the command of officialdom.” (Allen) This quote states that each person has freedom to fight for what they

Cassandra Abbarno Mrs. Lyons AP Lit 16 October 2015 The Scarlet Letter RRJ #1 Chapters 1-3 In The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the main character Hester Prynne is convicted of Adultery and is punished in several different ways including a stay in prison and the adornment of a gold and scarlet ‘A’ on her chest for the rest of her life. Despite her lengthy punishment, I feel that Hester Prynne and I share some similarities. In the book, the ‘A’ that Hester wears is very bold and elaborate; so much so that some towns people are offended by it, feeling that a symbol of such a crime should not be shown as something beautiful and she should not be showing pride in her mistakes as she does.

Dolly Parton once quoted, “If you want the rainbow, you have to put up with the rain.” This quote helps understand the impact the Women’s Suffrage Movement makes on the present day. In 1848 the battle for women’s privileges started with the first Women 's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York. On August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment, which provided full voting rights for women nationally, was ratified in the United States Constitution when Tennessee became the 36th state to approve it (Burkhalter). Freya Johnson Ross and Ceri Goddard stated a quite valid argument in a secondary source Unequal Nation saying, “Since the ratification of the 19th Amendment, major social changes have transformed the lives of women and men in many ways but the United States has not noticed how far away our nation is from the gender equal future” (5). When women were finally granted the right to vote, barriers were broken which would allow an increasing chance to make progressive steps to a more equal nation, but our nation has yet to realize our full potential.

The women 's suffrage movement, the time when women fought for their rights, began in the year 1848 and continued on all the way through the 1860s. Although women in the new republic had important roles in the family, the house, and other obligations, they were excluded from most rights. These rights included political and legal rights. Due to their gender, they have been held back because they did not have as much opportunities as the men did. The new republic made alterations in the roles of women by disparaging them in society. During this era, men received a higher status than women. Because women were forced to follow laws without being allowed to state their opinions, they tried to resist laws, fight for their freedom and strive to gain equality with men. This leads to feminism, the belief in political, social, and economic equality between men and women. It is the feminist efforts that have successfully tried to give rights that men had, to women who have been denied those rights. Upon the deprivation of those rights, the Seneca Falls convention and the Declaration of Sentiments helped women gain the privileges and opportunities to accomplish the task of equality that they have been striving for.

With the advancement of suffrage to equal pay, over the last century, women’s rights have progressed immensely. Through historic marches and demonstrations across the United States, women protested for their equal place in politics and social progress. Despite the fear-mongering components used in achieving these rights, women’s rights are still thoroughly debated within society today. Over the last century, incredible and unreachable goals have been fulfilled for women, such as the right to vote and a sense of equal state in the “Free World,” and can only improve in the years to come.

"Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." - the Equal Rights Amendment

Radical feminists- the aim was to challenge normal values of society and at the end this resulted in the rights been divided between the two genders. According to radicalists they believe that based on whether you are male or female will state how powerful you are in society.

Over a hundred years ago, one event created chaos among gender roles and here are some of the initial factors of how rights for women started as a predicament which later began to evolve into a much larger problem that involved many people around the nations. Over the course of history, many issues had change the world to what it has become today. Many problems led to social, economic, and other changes. One small event is able to cause more obstacles, which eventually leads to larger complications. Even though society had tried to resolve these issues, they still encountered many hardships that were disruptive to their own perspectives as also for other people within the community. Thus, this was an important issue because it had changed

Capital punishment is the same as the death penalty. When a person commits such a cruel crime such as murder, their punishment may just be their life getting taken.

The Women's Rights Movement was a significant crusade for women that began in the late nineteenth century and flourished throughout Europe and the United States for the rest of the twentieth century. Advocates for women's rights initiated this movement as they yearned for equality and equal participation and representation in society. Throughout all of history, the jobs of women ranged from housewives to factory workers, yet oppression by society, particularly men, accompanied them in their everyday lives. Not until the end of the nineteenth century did women begin to voice their frustrations about the inequalities among men and women, and these new proclamations would be the basis for a society with opportunities starting to open for

It is important to get the proper vaccinations on time when they are needed, or when they need to be renewed to ensure that you have a better chance at staying healthy. Vaccine preventable illnesses are dangerous, and if left untreated can possibly lead to death. Approximately forty nine thousand United States adults die from vaccine preventable diseases every year in the United States. Vaccines are designed to fight off diseases and viruses. You cannot “catch” the disease or virus from the vaccine. When you skip vaccinations you leave yourself venerable to illnesses. In today’s modern time it is easy for people to cross the globe in a matter of a couple days, and the viruses and diseases can travel just as fast with them. Viruses and bacteria

I chose to write about one of my favorite social articles ever that can be found at cracked. The topic is the men’s rights movement. In the article, the regular cracked columnist J.F. Sargent is joined by sociologist Michael Kimmel and former white supremacist Frank Meeink. The article was written following the Isla Vista Massacre where Elliot Rodgers killed six people and injured fourteen others. Rodgers cited the men’s rights movement as his main motivation for the killings and he detailed this in both a YouTube video and manuscript that he published.

Feminism is the movement that promotes equality for men and women in political, economic and social issues. Feminists believe that women are oppressed due to their sex based on the dominant ideology of patriarchy. Going against social norms of patriarchy will result in liberation for women, men, minorities, and gays. There are many different types of Feminism, which includes Liberal, Radical, and Social Feminism. Liberal feminism is reformist who believes in the viability of the present system, which includes education and employment. These types of feminists believe that oppression exists because of the way in which men and women are socialized, which supports patriarchy and keeps men in power
