In her article, Mary Grabar, author of “Boyz n the Book”. The article begins to explain the enrollment into a college by gender, as told by Department of Education, they recorded in 2005 the total fall enrollment made up to be 57 percent and knowing that gender discrepancies will increase in further dates. Grabar explains how women tend to excel in an English career and men typically in a mathematical, engineering career. To support, the article says that boys in high school fall lower in a reading test score than girls, but that’s justifying that the girls read every day rather than once a week. The article, “Boyz n the Book” emphasizes that males in schools tend to care more about what they want to read or what is more exciting to them and maybe what they would rather do instead of focus on an academic acceptance.…
Response: This article shocked me because the fact that men saw themselves as better than women is extremely degrading and unfair, women can do the same things men can do…
Most men normally think that the process of creating new life is simple but that very process (ovulation, fertilization, delivery, etc.) is extremely complicated. Without going into too much detail, the creation of life requires two important pieces that cannot start nor end without the other one. Women are the final, and most crucial, puzzle piece for life since they hold and deliver the baby with a whole host of symptoms to boot. Because women are tasked with a heavy responsibility, women must be regarded highly with that crucial task yet they don’t. Men get all the praise yet men only have step 1 and 2 while have the final, and most painful, steps left to go. So this mentality that men have it better than women must stop because without one puzzle piece, life and the human race wouldn’t be here…

Many people have different perspectives about who can have the balance between their houses and jobs. In “Why Women Still Can’t Have It All,” Anne-Marie Slaughter makes a point in her essay which is that women cannot have it all. However, in “Why Men Still Can’t Have It All,” Richard Dorment responds to her essay with a different opinion saying that men cannot have it all, and he makes arguments to prove his opinion. To understand his opinion, we are going to look at his points, how did he make the points, and my opinion on his arguments.…

‘Why men and women still can't have it all?’, a question battling the gender odds in many aspects and a question that is yet to be discussed. In her 2012 article, "Why Women Still Can't Have It All?", Anne- Marie Slaughter a successful career-oriented woman discusses her struggle in being away from her family while working in Washington and the reasons behind women not having it all. After she left her job as the Director of Policy Planning at the State Department, she returned home with the desire to be with her family leading her to write the article. On the other hand, Richard Dorment in his article, "Why Men Still Can't Have It All?", also explains that men go through the same boat as women do and highlights his opinions on Slaughter's…

Thomas Wentworth Higginson explained this in "Ought Women to Learn the Alphabet?" Men could be the most stupid people in the US but as long as they are men, they can get an education, a job, money, decide what the future is for the US. Women are underestimated at what their possibilities are and men are given too much power. Men and Women could achieve the same goals. According to an excerpt from "Ought Women to Learn the Alphabet?” by Thomas Wentworth Higginson, "John is a fool; Jane is a genius: nevertheless, John, being a man, shall learn, lead, make laws, make money; Jane, being a woman, shall be ignorant, dependent, disfranchised, underpaid?" "Ought Women to learn the Alphabet?" explains that some women are smart but do not get the chance to an education, job, or payment. Some men are stupid and get an education, job, and payment. Doesn't matter who it is, women have less abilities and depend on their husband for everything. Women need more responsibilities and need to be equal to man's…
Do you know what being acrougus means? Courageous means that you would risk your life for someone but it doesn’t even have to be that courageous. You would be considered courageous even if you did something little like remembering to take something out of the oven before it burns. My three types I woulod consider being coragous are standing up for someone or something, someone risking there life to save someone or something and last but not least when you speake up about something that most people won’t.…
David Brooks says in his article Mind Over Muscle that “once upon a time, it was a man’s world… But then came along the information age. In the information age, education is the gateway to success. And that means this is turning into a woman’s world, because women are better students than men” (Brooks 577). Women are now known as more advanced academically and all around better students. A writer for the New Yrok Times stated that the “department of Education statistics show that men, whatever their race or socioeconomic group, are less likely than women to get bachelor's degrees — and among those who do, fewer complete their degrees in four or five years. Men also get worse grades than women”…
Hecuba by Euripides shows Trojan Queen, Hecuba, struggling to come to terms with those decisions of Polymestor, the King of Thrace. Through the raw emotions of anger, grief and frustration, she decides to revenge in her child’s murder. However, Hecuba must go against the social boundaries that are set for women. She creates her own “laws” by telling Agamemnon that she will seek revenge on Polymestor and actually going through with it. Yet at the same time, femininity in the eyes of men is seen as a disadvantage, but this only drives her more to do as she wants; Hecuba uses her femininity to her advantage. As Hecuba reaches heights in her mission, she faces prejudiced remarks from Polymestor…
In academics, women also suffer from sexism at the hands of sexist males in higher positions. In her essay High School Lowdown Miranda J. Van Gelder recounts numerous clear cut instances of such sexist acts as male teachers asking female students to lift up their skirts, making comments referring to the girls taking their rightful place in the kitchen,' and referring to girls by demeaning pet names (Van Gelder, 305). According to Myra and David Sadker's "Failing at Fairness," boys receive more challenging questions, more attention from the teacher, and more helpful feedback. From elementary through college, girls receive less and lower quantity instruction, fewer scholarships, and suffer economic penalties after college: female' jobs are poorly, while women in male' jobs are still paid less then men in the exact same jobs (Sadker, 90).…
What I have concluded from the 3 articles I found, are that societies are the culprit of this issue; because of the conservative thoughts that are held firmly by the societies, they view the reason for the existence of the women is to show the superiority of the men. I felt insulted when I saw this statement, it seems like my existence in this world is to show the superiority of the men. To be candid, I don’t deny that men are physically stronger than women but except in this aspect, women can do better in everything than men such as cooking, sewing, gardening and even in academic results, women receive a greater number of the honors degrees at many universities. Because of the societies, women will never be equal as men. I just hope the societies are suffered from Amnesia and let the both genders start all over again so that equality can be achieved. Besides, according to “The New Misogyny”, the Macquarie Dictionary has decided to change the definition of the word misogyny, ‘hatred of women’ to a softer meaning, ‘hatred of women plus entrenched…
Out of the fifteen people asked, 53% of the survey population responded negatively to the question inquiring whether men were equal to women. Zahra Mania, a secretary for a business organization claimed that in our society, there is a substantial gap in the rights of men and women. The interviewee claimed that despite both sexes being intellectually equal, preference is given to men in acquiring important jobs such as being CEO, CFO, etc. Another respondent, who opted to remain anonymous backed this point by stating that women are far more likely to attain low-paying jobs such as being secretaries or receptionists. A journalist refuted these points by saying that in her profession, men were given equal rights to women and that in order to be promoted, a person’s work was taken into consideration, not his or her gender. Similarly, another journalist agreed with this point, adding further that equality between men and women is mostly dependant on the customs of a society, and the career one wishes to pursue.…
