What Are Women Irrational

It is because women are not granted the same opportunities as men, they grow up with the thought of what they should not do implanted into their minds. When women cannot get an education or get a job like the men can, they feel that their only place truly is in the kitchen with the children. In some cases, men tell their female significant others that it is only them who can say what goes. This point is exemplified when Jaimito criticizes the lives of Dede's sisters saying "the Mirabal sisters liked to run their men, that was the problem. In his house, we was the one to wear the pants" (176-177). Males were always seen as the dominant and that was how they expect to keep it. They refuse to let their power be taken away by the opposite gender that is believed to be the weaker of the sexes. With this thought in mind, women hold back or reluctantly accept what fate they have for them. They believe it to the point where they agree that their place is below the men. This point is proven when Patria tells her sister "It's a dirty business, you're right. That's why we women shouldn't be involved" (51). This shows readers the submissive side of a woman that all were

Through years of history women have been subjugated. They are seen as vehicles for reproduction and sexual objects. Yet this is a mentality that is directly related with moral theory. Since this is for the most part a male dominated society, women's views are often seen

Throughout centuries of human existence, women have been deemed as inferior to men in multiple different cultures and religions. Men have developed a norm to be the individual who carries out duties to help maintain a stable life for himself and the family in which he is providing for. Because of this fundamentalist approach towards how society should be, women’s rights have been suppressed throughout political, social, and cultural actions. The Islamic religion in particular, is fond of abusing the rights of women and empowering the rights of men in such a way that it has created a permanent existence of conflict within countries who follow Islam. In fact, in the Quran it states that women must have lesser authority than men, therefore their

Gender is decided by cultural, social, political, and economic forces which influence social behavior of men and women. Gender differs from sex, as sex is assigned based on anatomy of a person while gender is assigned according to the sexuality of a person. In our Indian society people always believe that women are greedy liars, unvirtuous, and they are the one to seduce men. Women are always considered to be full of all bad qualities. Yes it is true that women have vices also but why always they are judged by the vices or bad qualities they have and not by the virtues they have. In our society why only women have to prove their loyalty to the society, men are never asked for such thing to do. Infect if women have all the vices then why all the prisons are filled with men criminals. In all the entire book Tarabai argued for women’s equal share with men. It is not true that men are superior in gender relation. Women are far better than men. It is also written in book that what’s good for a man ought to be good for woman as well. Woman are not different from men so the rights and restrictions that are for woman also should be for man as well. Why always man are given all the liberty and woman are kept in prison and are burdened with so called

In 1848 women around the world came together to form what we call a women’s revolution. Women decided to step and say how much they know they deserve the same rights as men. We are all equal, no matter what our gender is. We are all born with rights that aren’t able to be taken away and those come with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If the government sees someone being untreated by these rights, they are meant to do something about it. They are meant to annihilate the persons causing the unjust treatment. But instead they have not. We have this mistake of redoing past history and this is just the same. It shouldn’t be okay for a man to own a woman in any way, or affect what she does and how she does it. He, referring to the male, has made her have no voice. She’s voiceless in front of the man and not just her husband, but any male. You’ve taken away women’s rights to give them to less intelligent and more ignorant men? That does not make sense, when the woman can be just as smart, if not smarter. She has no representation. If married, which is supposed to be a glorious thing, she is in the eyes of the law non-existent and in the eyes of marriage her husband is her master instead of a husband. Him being the master justifies him to take away her rights and it is okay. She can in the eyes of her husband commit crime and its okay, she cannot own property, she cannot make as much money as the man can if any at all.

Women often are put in positions that often create turmoil within themselves. Women tend to make decisions based more on emotion and values as opposed to what is dictated by governing laws and rulers. By choosing to do what is “right in their heart” women often suffer great consequences such as persecution, abuse, exile and even death.

Providing such controls permits women from becoming independent: to think emotionally and mentally development. Of course here an opponent might validly argue that men must take the dominant role and provide authority due to the idea: “women report more intense and persistent anger than do men” (88:1546). However, even though it is true that women are more susceptible to revealing their emotions; women are just as capable as men to run their lives in a constructive, healthy way. Polygynist men have hidden behind the blanket of religion to justify their male supremacy and dismantle the strength and equality of women in a whole.

One can agree that for many generations women were victims of sexism. Even though sexism was unfair, it later taught women to stand up for themselves. One reason why sexism existed was because men were looked upon as superior. Because men had the role of being strong, aggressive and the sole provider. Unfortunately, men were to become the masters of most women. For the duration, women were

Guys are expected to do certain things or they get called out for it. Girls on the other hand can be or do whatever they want. On page 461 in the reading it says “Whenever I ask a young women what they think it means to be a woman… say, basically, “Whatever I want”… “Nobody can tell me what it means to be a woman anymore.”” Even though in the reading about young women saying “Nobody can tell me what it means to be a woman anymore.” It stills effects young girls every day, maybe not physically but psychologically.

Across the globe, women of all walks of life are constantly oppressed by their male counterparts, shamed for actions frowned upon simply because of the double standards they are assigned since birth. In many cultures, women are viewed below men, and as a result they are forced to cater to all of the unfair expectations that men demand from them. One of the most popular and universal expectations is the belief that a woman must retain her virginity until marriage. In Half The Sky, women who disobeyed these unwritten laws of society faced the most extreme and harsh consequences. In one instance, a girl named Du’a Aswad went out late with a boy, and didn’t return until the morning. It was immediately assumed that she had slept with him, despite

For example, Black girls are considered more deviant because of the amount of liberation they possess. In order for girls to make moral decisions about their sexualities, they need to be taught how to control themselves. Once again, this notion that a girl/woman’s body needs to be policed for the sake of society, as if they are the only ones in the wrongdoing. If a girl is sexually active, especially those with more than one partner, she is viewed as possessing delinquent behavior that needs to be fixed. Therefore, it is no surprise that girls are proportionally more likely to be admitted to training schools or group homes, whereas boys are more likely to receive day treatment (Chesney-Lind and Sheldon 171). Boys are apparently ‘active agents’ of change in their lives, compared to girls who are seen as ‘perpetual victim’ who is pathologized for her ‘badness,’ who lacks agency for change, and who will always experience (and need) external control over her life (Paso 824). This is simply the reflection of the roles played out in larger society where a man can have sex whenever, wherever, and as many times as he wants, because men can control their sexuality; while women are ridiculed for even acknowledging their sexuality. Yet, between 60% and 99% of rapes and sexual assault are perpetrated by men onto women, children, other men, and transgender people (The Order

The government, using interpretations of the bible, views women as subservient and their bodies used simply for reproductive purposes. Women are not allowed to do anything that asserts their independence or defy the edicts of the

The united states, Christians, and parents have failed to teach their female citizens and daughters that choices are something you have to live with though.

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”.

Throughout history, countless acts of gender inequality can be identified; the causes of these discriminating accounts can be traced back to different causes. The general morality of the inequity relies on a belief that men are superior to women; because of this idea, women have spent generations suffering under their counterparts. Also, a common expectation is that men tend to be more assertive and absolute because of their biological hormones or instinctive intellect. Another huge origin is sexual discrimination; even in the world today, many women are viewed by men as just sex objects rather than a real human being with
