Will we ever be equal? Of course we will all be equal. We are all equals today. Women and men serve different purposes every day; this does not mean that one is better than the other. For some reason I feel like the some women think they still aren’t equal. I do not understand the mindset of some of these people. The recent election had two very powerful women fight for very high profile jobs in the United States. Granted both of the ladies lost in their elections, one did not even make it to the primaries, however, a person who makes the argument that they are still oppressed is completely insane. Both Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, have been taken very seriously, and both are very smart ladies. They have broken the barrier. This same argument goes to racial inequality. The current president of the United States of America is Barak Obama. That name does not sound like traditional name like, Ronald, George, Bill. Barack Obama, has broken the same barriers as Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton. I believe that as long as someone wants to succeed and make something of themselves they will do it. We just have lazy people in the United States who want to point the finger at each others differences and blame their differences on why they cannot get a job, or the ridiculous claim on how we are all different. Let’s grow up and start taking responsibility. WOMEN ARE NO LONGER SEEN AS STAY AT HOME MOMS!

I think that equality is an ideological state that will never truly be achieved. Every individual is unique, therefore there will never be equality. While equality may be achieved in certain aspects of life, such as voting rights, it may never be achieved in other areas. For example, the gay population is denied certain rights that others are entitled to, such as marriage (in certain states). Also, because of physical, biological, and gender differences, there will never be a golden standard of equality that everyone is entitled to. I think that we may strive for equality as much as possible, but we will never have true equality in all aspects of life.
