“ True genius, but true woman! dost deny/ Thy woman’s nature with a manly scorn.” “And break away the gauds and armlets worn by weaker women”- crawls beneath my skin as the feud rises between woman and man. The words that slip out of a man’s mouth denying a woman any chance, any respect, any value, and any platform comforts your mind. The idea of having that type of power over someone is exhilarating and liberating. It makes you feel like a true man. Who thought your ride would eventually come to

Years and years of fighting for their rights, women continue to strive to demonstrate that they aren’t just stay home moms or maids; they have proven to be much more than that. No matter how much work women put into something or how intelligent they can be, some people continue to believe that women will stay less superior to men by receiving less pay or appreciation. For instance, while being a mother there are struggles in finding a job that will give women flexible hours to be at work and home;

about what makes a leader may be what continues to keep women down. At a young age, men are often taught to be "confident, assertive and self-promoting," while women are discouraged from those traits — the very characteristics we often value in leadership. In contrast, women tend to undersell their achievements and provide a more nurturing role in the workplace, even when it is inappropriate. If a woman becomes a mother, it "triggers powerful negative competence and commitment assumptions" according

We live in a world full of opportunities; a world where no dream is too big, except the dream of gender equality. For years the struggle against inequality has been waged, and while obvious progress has been made it seems as though in the past couple decades the war has come to a standstill. While this issue is not as evident to some people, it does not change the fact that this issue is real. It is so real that people from all walks of life are speaking out against how and why gender exclusions

What is Gun Control? Is the arrangement of laws or approaches that manage the production, deal, exchange, ownership, change, or utilization of guns by regular people? The United States has 88.8 firearms for every 100 individuals, or around 270,000,000 weapons, which is the most elevated aggregate and per capita number of the world. 22% of Americans possess at least one firearm (35% of men and 12% of ladies). America 's unavoidable weapon culture stems to a limited extent from its pilgrim history

50 years ago, a prominent stereotype in America portrayed the men as hardworking breadwinners while on the opposite side of the spectrum the woman stayed home taking care of the house, children, cooking and cleaning. In the current generation, a lot has changed, roles have slightly switched and men and women both have the opportunity to work in the field they desire. These changes have brought new values and brought forth many obstacles with balancing the family/work life. Although the stereotype

Every era strives to make its mark on civilization. The Stone Age gave us fire. The Neolithics rolled out the wheel. And us? Well in addition to iPhones 2/3/4/5/5c/5s, we have...the spork. Spawned by Canadian Inventor Hubert Gagnon in the 1800s, this spoon-fork hybrid is special not just because it gives you the ability to eat soup and pasta with the same object, at the same time, but because it transcends the fork-spoon binary. As Bee Wilson, author of A History of How We Eat, once wrote, “A spork

Despite the common belief that any individual can achieve any goal as long as they possess a strong work ethic, women still face structural barriers to career advancement.  In his article, “Breaking the Glass Slipper: Where Are the Female Choreographers?,” Michael Cooper (2016) highlights the lack of female choreographers in ballet companies around the world, a surprising reality given the predominance of female performers in this art form. Cooper (2016) hints at ways of understanding the problem

There are legion women who serve as role models and become leaders. Women are survivors with unique inner strength who pose to achieve it all without complaining. Likewise, the women are mounting the leadership ladder in the male-dominated industries related to Finance, Federal Departments and Technology. In the United States, women synthesize a majority of the population earning higher college degrees as compared to men, yet holding only 19.2% top executive positions in the corporate world according

become a growing phenomenon in our societies today. So much so that some women and even men  end up criticizing other women when they decide to not pursue a career and instead stay home to perform their traditional duties. We can see this from Anne Marie Slaughter experience ( the first female director of foreign policy at the US state department) Who said when she left her job to come home and take care of their 12 and 14 year old son, “ [she]routinely got reactions from other women [her] age or older
