Females

On the topic of women and comparing them to men I find that there are certain qualities that each group is generally better at. For example, the stereotype is that men are bigger and powerful, while women are better communicators. There has also been question on the inequalities for women. Affirmative action is one topic that seems to come to mind. About every class on law we have talked about affirmative action, so should women who have been passed over for years for jobs be given an advantage because of affirmative action? I feel that it would be unfair and from talking in other classes some women don’t want the help they want to do it on their own. They feel like affirmative action makes people look at women in that position as being the benefit of affirmative action even if it isn’t the case. So to me I think that affirmative action is unfair and we as a society should just get away from the belief that women are not capable of doing certain jobs. Some women are showing this now, for example, in law enforcement. Many feel that only men can work as a police officer but many women are doing well at this job. Look at the case of the shooting at the army base in Fort Hood, Texas. The officer that took down the suspect and saved many lives was female. So for me I feel like we as a society can get away from the view of women as being incapable of performing at certain jobs. We don’t need affirmative action to help with this because it just creates more problems in my opinion.
