women as equals

I think it is fair to say that in today’s modern society the feminist movement has been a great success and has advanced many women into positions in society that they never thought they could achieve years ago. This is because women in today’s society are and can just be as successful as men, when they apply themselves, and show that they are just as good as a man if not better in a certain positions. We have seen from the past political election that women have a very good chance at becoming a President or Vice President. We saw Sarah Palin advance to the primary elections with John McCain. John McCain could have chosen strong a male candidate such as Mike Huckabee or Rudy Giuliani, to be his running mate. Women have definitely advanced since the women’s suffrage movement first started. Women are not seen as stay home mothers, or someone to come home to and expect dinner to be on the table, anymore. This is not the standards of today’s society at all. Women have risen through the ranks through suffrage to gain the respect they have deserved throughout many years. Personally, I think that it is shared among most households that men and women work together to build a successful family and a good and healthy relationship. This used to be known as the women’s job and duties around the house, now men are accepting the fact that it is team work that in fact builds a family.

  1. I agree with everything your saying here. Women are getting extremely close to being equal in America and they should be. However, in making this argument, i do not think you should use sarah palin as an example. John McCain only chose her because she was a woman. This actually hurts your argument because she wasn't chosen because of amazing foreign policies or her plan to solve the economic crisis. She was chosen because the republicans saw how well Hillary did and they needed something big to compete against Obama. But besides that, i like your points.

  2. I agree with what you that women in today's society can achieve anything that a man can. There are females of high power all over the country, such as mayors, governors, and such, so it is only a matter of time before a woman is president.

  3. I also agree with you. Women are very close to breaking the glass ceiling and reaching equality. Women have come a long way and are not just expected to take care of household chores, but instead are predominate in the workforce. Also, in family situations males and females are becoming equals.
