Women Need To Take Responsibility

I think women are just doing themselves an injustice by claiming that society and cultural institutions are denying them ownership to their sexuality. While it is certainly true that no law should ever actively discriminate against a gender, society seems to have forgotten that there ARE differences between men and women. Men and women are not the same, and they shouldn't be treated the same. That doesn't mean that one gender is better than the other one, it just means that they're different. Women need to stop complaining that society is treating them unfairly. In today's society there are very very few instances were women are being discriminated against because of their gender. Most of the time, women are favored for jobs and grad schools because companies and universities want to diversify. Women need to stop being victims, they should be empowered by the gender and not let it cripple them. To some extent women are in control of how they're treated by men and society. You need to respect yourself before you can ask other people to respect you. Women need to behave in a manner that shows that they are respectful of themselves and that will earn respect in return.

  1. I absolutely agree with you. I feel that women do need to take responsibility for their own actions as opposed to acting as the "damsel in distress". Women do need to behave in a manner that gains respect as opposed to exposing themselves in a degrading manner.
