Equal Rights Era Pros And Cons

A baby shouldn't come into the world unwanted. Many people still argue that adoption is a second choice, but most women don't want to carry the baby for full term because it is more difficult for them while a abortion is easier. Refusing a woman their right is lowering our status down to inferior and that is taking away our rights of equality. Woman should not have to carry around children without a choice. Men would never understand the pain and insecurity of a woman, even in these times.

This association leads many to think that feminism is only for the women’s rights movement because the movement strongly focused on women for years. Some believe that feminism isn 't around anymore or it doesn 't have a meaning in today 's culture. Everyone has a different outlook on this subject due to different emotions, and associations with the past experiences, they feel the need to describe feminism as only a women’s right movement. Thus leading to the typical meaning of feminism.

They want all people, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, and class, be treated with respect and free to determine their own lives. Kim articulates that the feminism label comes with a stigma and until that stigma is able to be removed there will always be people believing in the message feminism has, but will they never be willing to label themselves as feminists. We ask ourselves, what can we do to help part-feminists become feminists? A step towards this is to label the man haters as misandrists.

“While men’s rights are guaranteed by specific language in the Constitution women’s equal rights aren’t mentioned” Carolyn

Throughout American history, women have requested and demanded to achieve recognition for having the same legitimacy as men. Naturally born rights, such as access to equal education, and the right to speak out in public were denied to females. Perhaps, the most powerful right they were denied was the right to vote. Though women were considered inferior and given limited roles in society, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Carry Nation played a crucial role in the movement for women’s rights. Women did not achieve this right immediately, but that did not stop them from fighting.

In the end she claims that the removal is necessary due to its unjust laws that oppresses women. She continues to claim that women should be treated equally just as American citizens; should be free and equal. To compare; both writers express their concerns and thoughts in their own writings but addresses towards different issues. In addition, they both use Pathos and Logos to convey

Equality for all. Do the majority of coaches and parents really want equality for all athletes? The answer to this question is, surprisingly, under discrepancy. Title IX, a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded educational activity and or program, is starting to be thought of as “over the top.” Title IX faces controversy as some think that it takes away from male sports.

Ignorance of History Technology gives our generation unprecedented amounts of information and allows for a better understanding of our past and present. Even so, this excess knowledge opens the door to useless facts and news, so much so, that we’ve built a raft of ignorant and pointless information in the tides of knowledge. Our generation have become so enthralled in pop culture and current events that we have forgotten basis of all our knowledge and accomplishments--history. Many claim these people are simply keeping up-to-date on the world around us, and that it is not only harmless but is beneficiary to their learning and education. These claims, however; are a weak attempt at defending ignorance, seeing as educating history and current

Anthony appeals to the ethics of her audience by stating that since the Constitution only uses male pronouns, women should be exempted from taxes and the penalties for the violation of laws. She is basically questioning that since women can’t vote, despite the Constitution’s preamble, then why should women regard to anything else it says. Susan B. Anthony takes advantage of these male pronouns, because the law she has violated states that, “If any person shall knowingly vote without his having a lawful right.” This shows that technically, since she is a woman who uses female pronouns, she does not have to comply to this law, or any law of the Constitution for that

Obama’s speech challenges relativism in a few different ways. What I took from it is, even though it may be history and past it is not okay for women to go through genital mutilation. He says “they have no place in the 21st century.” In other words, in no way is it okay for that to continue to happen. He also says “just because something is a tradition doesn’t make it right.”

The authors of this article show that the ERA will not directly affect the people but that it would indirectly effect the people. They really do not have a set stance on whether we truly need this amendment today or not. I on the other hand fully believe that we need the ERA in the Constitution. The ERA is a great foundation of economic equality and without that foundation, women will never be equal. Alice Paul, a women’s right activist, once quoted, “When you put your hand to the plow, you can’t put it down until you get to the end of the row.”

Most will say that a woman cannot put in the same work that a man can. In 1982, the Equal Rights Amendment was proposed. Just like NOW, ERA became very close to being ratified but fell short in the end. ERA is still fighting to be ratified today.

This is a problem in modern society in the eyes of some people. Others believe that women could not support or help as much as a male could. With the question of whether or not women should be forced to sign up for the draft at the age of 18, my opinion is that they should. Even though others believe that women should not have a role in the military selective service, there needs to be change in our society.

There are widely accepted gender roles, which establish a form of patriarchy (Muller et al., 2009). Researchers believe honor based violence to be paving the way to a full patriarchy, with women having no rights at all (Eshareturi et al.,

Savita Halappanavar is one of many women whose deaths could have been avoided had she been granted the abortion she so desperately needed and requested. Doctors told her that it was impossible for the fetus to survive, and that Savita’s own survival was questionable. Still, Savita was denied an abortion, and as a result, neither Savita nor her potential child survived the pregnancy. This happens to millions of women every year who are denied the right to be liberated from an unviable fetus. Discriminatory, raucous, tyrannical, all of these describe the disregard for the most basic of human rights: The right to control what happens to one’s own body.
