1. Argumentative Essay On Women And Social Media
The most hypocritical belief in American society today is feminism. What was once a bold movement for social and political equality has turned into
an arrogant beast that will neither heed nor listen to the opinions of dissenters. Modern day feminists have turned men into the enemy, and they look
down upon women who do not share the same views. They have twisted their ideology into an aggressive campaign to gain greater liberties for women
while ignoring men's issues. Most men, along with those who disagree with contemporary feminists, are often attacked with harsh words, primarily
through the use of social media and the Internet. Many blogs, Twitter accounts, and online newspapers that support feminism sometimes make men out
to be the "enemy"...show more content...
This is defined as "A culture, environment or society where rape is common, and in which social attitudes or practices work to trivialize sexual
violence, make rape seem normal, or shift responsibility from rapists to rape victims" (Rapeâculture). While rape itself is a very real and horrible act,
rape culture only increases contempt for men and the victimization of women. It focuses on a misogynistic society while completely ignoring the fact
that many rape victims were either A) men, or B) not actually raped. The belief that men cannot be raped is an injust fallacy that has been proven
wrong in multiple cases in the past decade. in 1994, a college student named Katie Roiphe wrote a paper on the "feminist crusade against campus rape
culture," saying that "'these feminists are endorsing their own utopian vision of sexual relations'" (Durgin). Basically, Roiphe is calling out feminists
who cry "rape" any time they have had a lessâthanâsatisfactory sexual experience. By doing so, the voices of women who actually have been raped are
given less

2. Women Are More Emotional Than Men
It is a stereotypical image around many different cultures: Women are more emotional than men. According to Brody and Hall (2008), "women are
believed to be more emotionally intense, as well as more emotionally expressive" (pg. 396). When people think of the main difference between male
and female, the emotional state of the different genders would probably be one main concept that comes to mind. According to Baumeister and
Bushman (2014), "the traditional stereotype of female emotionality is wrong" (pg. 221). While the different emotions that are dominantly expressed,
or the way genders express the emotions being felt could vary among males and female, the actual act of living an "emotional life" is "nearly
identical" between males and females (Baumeister and Bushman, 2014, pg. 220). The two genders were "remarkably alike in the degree to which they
reported feelings at any point on the emotional continuum" and for that reason, the stereotype of women being more emotional than men would be
wrong (Baumeister and Bushman, 2014, pg. 220). As stated above, the emotions that are more frequently expressed by men or women can differ.
According to Brody and Hall (2008), women tend to experience more frequently the positive emotions of "joy, affection, warmth, and wellâbeing" (pg.
397). When looking at negative emotions, "disgust, sadness, fear, anxiety, hurt, shame, and embarrassment are generally reported more by women than
by men" (Brody & Hall, 2008, pg. 397). When looking at

3. Essay on Equality for Women in Education
Before the 21st century, women have faced many obstacles when trying to gain equality. They were seen as the "weaker sex" and were seen as not
as educated or not as capable as men. Even when some women tried proving these statements to be wrong and showed that they were just as capable
as men and assert any sort of opinions they were ostracized and dismissed. They were seen as unâladylike and were not respected. Women were not
given a chance to prove that they were equal to men during this time. Any opinions they raised were quickly dismissed. Many women writers and
thinkers were not taken seriously at this time (many having to create pseudonyms to hide their gender when they wished to not only be published but
to be taken seriously),...show more content...

being Fontenelle. When Emilie expressed interest in astronomy, her father arranged for Fontenelle (the secretary of the French Academy of
Sciences) to "speak" with Emilie at age 10. Her father was one of few parents during this time that encouraged his daughter to study and wanted her
to become an intellectual. It has been said that her father had thought that Emilie would be "no great beauty" so that could have been one of the
reasons he encouraged her learning. He wanted her to have some value to a man she would one day marry. It is not known whether or not her mother
was "thrilled" about her daughter being educated in such a way, only speculation that she may not have been very happy with it but she accepted it. As
I stated, it was unusual at the time for parents to be so accepting of their daughter's interests in math and science, especially because of their status and

Throughout the United States history, there has been many political debates, one of which was Women's Rights, which had played an important role in
US society. One major debate on this subject was the proper role of women in American society in 1848â1910. Many people had different viewpoints.
For example, in "How to be the Perfect Housewive", an article from Godey's Lady's Book and Magazine, the author explains that everything you do
should be for your husband. On the other hand, American activists, Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, believe women should have equal rights

5. Argumentative Essay On Women
Women Can The mentality of mankind today is, "Men must prove themselves and take care of their fragile women." It is the right of every human in
the United States, to say the very least, to be treated as equals no matter what race, religion, skin color, gender, class, etc. they are. Being specified
now, is the equality of genders. Men are given such big and heavyâduty tasks which leave them playing big and important roles in society. It is not by
the choice of women to be downgraded to such small and simple tasks that they are given daily. Women should not be belittled by men or any
individual in general, because they are capable of performing any task just as well as men. There are debates in classrooms, workplaces, and in
general conversations about what men can do that women cannot. In history classes, teachers often explain how feminist society was "back in the
day." Females were given the job of staying home and taking care of the children. They were to have meals prepared, ready for when the men got
home from a long day's work and do laundry. It was not until the midâ1800's that women were given permission to work somewhere else besides their
home. Textile mills began to open which employed over 7,000 unmarried women. During the years of World War I, they were hired as nurses to aid
the wounded soldiers. At that time, the lives of many men were in their hands. From then on, females played a big role in hospitals. Once women

man in a provincial town had been charged with raping a thirteenâyearâold daughter of one of his followers. The case against him in could not get far in

7. Essay about Women's History Then and Now
During the 18th and 19th century, patriarchy has been responsible for designing women's role in society. Throughout history, men have been
deemed as superior while women have been regarded as inferior. Society has this ideology that women are the sole laborers of a household; they
were not granted the same privileges as men. In addition, women have been negatively affected by stereotyping. Women have been portrayed on
television as being submissive to men. The depiction of women on television portrays the implications of a societal view of women. From a man's
perspective, an ideal woman is a housewife who does all the household duties herself. However, over the years, studies have shown that gender roles

Also, in many marriages women have a say in everything the man does. There must be a consensus between both the man and woman. Studies indicate
that, "the assertive woman debunks the tired old myths and stereotypes of women bosses, stayâatâhome moms, and "bully broads," and superwomen,
and presents a refreshing, positive alternative." Many studies have shown that assertive women are more successful. Assertive women tend to gain
the respect of others as well as raise objections to present feminine stereotypes. For this reason, critics argue that, "women have developed a kind of
assertiveness, who lets people know what they want, and what they would not accept, without looking emotional." By developing this role, women
have become victorious individuals. Furthermore, women went from being submissive to being influential. Women have changed the world. We
have some of the most powerful and influential women, who have contribute to shaping our society, for example, Michelle Obama and Oprah
Winfrey. For instance, Oprah uses TV to help the lives of many Americans; her book club attracts millions of readers and because she is a benevolent
billionaire, she gives a lot of money to charity. Oprah also built an all girls school in South Africa to give the underprivileged girls in South Africa a
chance to purse a higher education. Oprah Winfrey's Leadership Academy for Girls indicates that, "when you're

The press only adds to the negativity, in one case, they only talked about the murdered, Crawford, and when they talked about the victims, they spoke

9. Argumentative Essay On American Women
Women are considered secondâclass citizens when compared to men who dominate positions of power in the United States. From a political
standpoint, there is a common misconception that women are unable or unfit to serve in public office. Regardless of gender, every voting American
possesses the potential to assert themselves and participate in our democracy. The outcome of the U.S. 2016 presidential election demonstrates how
women are still negatively viewed and discriminated against by gender bias. As evidence of this, in the United States Congress, women hold just 84
(19.3%) of the 435 House of Representative seats, with only 20 women (20%) in the United States Senate (Rutgers, 2016). This is a startling statistic
considering that women possess the same rights as men to run for political office and represent oneâhalf of the U.S. population. American women have

Secretary of State during the Clinton Presidency, was quoted in the New York Times as saying that she "personally encountered male chauvinism in

always say 'don't be so emotional', or would drum their fingers on the table and say I was taking too long to make decisions" (Walsh, 2016). This
serves as yet another example of gender bias in politics, considering the level of respect and international prominence Ms. Albright earned while
serving in this key presidential cabinet position on the world stage. If Ms. Albright achieved this level of respect, then how could Mrs. Clinton not

11. Argumentative Essay On Women In Media
Media is everywhere. In classrooms, at home, in your pocket, no one can escape the temptation of media. Every little bit of information stems from
media. But, all information has two sides to it, one of which media never reports. Women have always been a controversial topic in media. For
example women are seen as sex symbols rather than intellectual individuals. Social media and media have targeted women to become a conquest in
which reward must be given. For instance, if a man were to sleep around with multiple partners it would not be viewed as promiscuous, while a woman
would be characterized as a slut or a whore. Media has always been a prominent factor in how we view certain ideals. For example, women should be
treated and viewed as inferior from their male counterparts. As the media thoroughly objectifies women's bodies it creates a stigma that women must
be held to a beauty standard to be seen as acceptable in society.
The media focuses on the types of beauty that is acceptable to society. But when asked what is beauty? There are a multitude of answers. What media
illustrates is a beauty that has been shifted and shaped by misogynist men and by a society that does not believe in individual beauty. Media centers
around outward appearances which produced a shallow frame of mind. For instance, women stand in the mirror disappointed they don't appear as the
women in the media. Unhappy with their bodies with their self esteem dwindling slowly they see that beauty, in

Black women are always the leading role and image of negative identity. With the many amounts of stereotypes and verbal imagery, people will

There are many, black women advocating and addressing the problem of the War on Drugs. The War on Drugs is a war on Black women and their

13. Argumentative Essay About Sexism Against Women
Good afternoon everyone! My name is Angelica Scott. I will be speaking to you about sexism against women. Although conditions for women have
improved over time, women still experience sexism. Sexism is a serious issue that continues to affect women today. Sexism occurs in many forms. It
can take place in the workplace, in the form of a glass ceiling, and it is even present in history textbooks.
First of all, sexism is present in the workplace. More women have entered the workforce in the last few decades. After WWII, about 30% of women
were employed outside the home, but today, the figure is over 50%, near 75% if partâtime jobs are included. However, men and women are not treated
equally. Women usually hold lower status, lower paying jobs than men. Only 25% of upperâlevel managers in large corporations are women. Women in
stereotypical female jobs usually hold subordinate positions to men. For example, executives supervise secretaries, who are likely to be women
(Sexism in the Workplace, 2014).
Women who occupy the same jobs as men usually earn less, even if they have the same education and skills. Women earn 77 cents to a man's dollar.

Those days have since past. As women are achieving higher levels of education and are being employed in more prominent positions, their leadership
roles in family organizations have increased. Many young women are refusing to accept the rule of "primogeniture" (Nelton, 1999). Primogeniture is
defined as a birthright or an inheritance. Although women are making great strides in this arena, there is still the feeling out there that the son should
be considered first and the daughter as a second option, only if there is no son or if the son declines the offer. But, Nelton says that, "young women by
and large feel that if they want to go into the family business, the opportunity is there." In each of the cases described by Nelton, the fathers
encouraged their daughters to become involved in the family business. As well, each father let his daughter run the show once she was named CEOâthe
surest sign of support (Nelton, 1999). In more and more families and in business in general, gender is becoming not an issue. As roles increasingly
change on the home front, the business world will soon mirror the changes taking place in the family structure. Nelton also urges women in leadership
roles to not lose sight of the bottom line. She says it is "easy for women to get caught up in the management of people" (Nelton, 1999). She goes on to
say that if you cannot prove that you are also profitâdriven, you will never make it to the successor level.

There are many reasons for this, but I will focus on one which most analysts ignore. It is the oil resource curse: the easy money from oil which has
created a culture of helpless dependence on manna from the Delta, and the consequent political economy based on sharing and consumption rather than
baking the cake or wealth creation. Under such a system, productionâoriented politics is an anathema. This is not peculiar to Nigeria. As evidence, I
posit that there are very few (if any) countries in the world where more than 50 per cent of government revenue comes from such natural resource
rents as oil and the political parties and national politics are 'developmental' in terms of their ideology and plans. If there are such countries, they
constitute the useful case studies for Nigeria. The question is: are there useful examples of how democratic governments have been able to escape the
indolent culture or the lottery effects of easy money from oil to create competitive economies and sustainable prosperity? This is a huge research
agenda and a subject for another day.
In the first republic, politics and political parties were largely developmental. The regional governments and the political parties that controlled them

The reality of beautiful women attracting viewers on the sidelines, leaves no question, but what those beautiful women have to say is of supreme

My parents and family members encouraged me, from a young age, to plant my roots of faith deep into the soil of life, and ingrain the word of
God in my mind. Moreover, I take the words written in the Bible to heart. I strongly agree with the concept of women being made in the image of
man; conversely, I disagree with the thoughts of radical feminists. When God created us, I believe He created roles, both prominent, to women and
men separately. Nevertheless, the Bible describes the creation of both men and women, being equal in importance. Found in Luke 10:27, is the
ultimate precedence of treating one another fairly: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your
