In China, foot binding, a process in which tight pressure is applied to prevent growth, was a desired practice among the higher social classes. The practice originated among the court dancers in the 10th and 11th centuries, and later spread to all social classes. Originally, women whose feet were bound were women who were raised by a wealthy family, and therefore did not need their feet for labor.

The issue of women’s rights and how different societies and cultures deal with it had been on the table for many centuries. In the United States of America during the 1800s, women began to move toward and demand getting equal rights as men, they decided to speak up and fight for their stolen rights.

No woman is allowed to be angry. This is the message that is subliminally delivered by those who tend to accuse the anger of a woman as a played-out weapon. For far too long has the uproar of unjust accusations made by women been disregarded as an emotionally biased issue. This has caused a great many of women to restrain their tongues before speaking their true and pure opinion. They fear persecution and that their whole argument will not be taken heavily if the delivery is not well thought out and calmly delivered.

Woman who are targeted because of their skin color or because they are immigrants coming into a country like America, in hopes of finding better, attempt to prosper in a cold world that values dirt more than they value them. Excluding women from certain health care facilities because they hold a green card, neglects them from being allowed the same equal rights as any citizen in the United States would have, is what especially hits hard for me. While reading “Invisible Immigrants” by Michelle Chen in the Reproduction and Society book, I was made aware of the drastic measures some women are forced to take in order to accommodate their health but I was also able to open my eyes and see what my reality could have been like had I not become a United

Women in the Puritan Society The Puritan life was extremely different than the world today. Men were superior to women in the Puritan society.

Women throughout the world experience many forms of violence or inequality. This is present in abuse, female genital mutilation and child marriages. Violence against women is generally brushed aside in the western world as a third world problem. While it is more commonly an issue in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, it is still relevant in other countries. Many women in western culture still experience abuse and rape, and even a form of FGM (‘the husband stitch’).

There are many women who are being forced into sex, beaten or perhaps abused in her lifetime by a person called a man. At some other times, the women are being assaulted by people whom they don’t know, but most frequently they are hurt or abused by people who are close to them.

Experiences, Perceptions, and Discrimination within Bisexuals Kristel Anne Ocampo Juli-ann L. Alonso-Balmonte For years, the lesbian, gay, bisexuals and transgender (LGBT) community in the Philippines have always make a stand for the equality and respect from our society and have been crying out for action from the government specifically for the passage of laws that will protect the rights of all people regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI).

LGBT persons in the Philippines still face violence and discrimination from the family, from civil society organizations, from medical and health institutions, in schools, in employment and from the government. They have been kicked out of their homes.

Freda Alder has claimed, “At their essence women and men are more similar than dissimilar. Some saw this as unsettling and challenged this idea because they proposed that they were very different in the sense of their preferences, beliefs, and behavior. She is correct in the way that they engage in as much crime as men and have the same needs, but their risk needs in correctional institutions and in communities do differ. I believe that men and women need different programs and different treatment from one another because as much as they are alike, they are different. Each gender responds to situations and treatments differently.

In the past years, women are often suffering from the inequality between them and men. Dehumanization, objectification and violence are different words that are closely related. Most of the the time, women are the victims of these words. That is caused by specific advertisements that reinforce these actions. In the documentary Killing Us Softly, Jean Kilbourne talks about how women are victims of inequality.

For decade women have been discriminated by society, all around the world. In many countries women are still treated as the inferior sex. “daily life for women in the early 1800s in Europe(Britain), was that of many obligations and few choices. Some even compare the conditions of women in time as a form of slavery.” (Smith, Kelley. "

Throughout history man has displayed violence towards both the environment and other men- physically and emotionally. As a result of the need for land, rights, social change and power, man has felt the need to compete and prove their dominance to other races through violence. In many cases, those who initiated the violence felt they were superior to those they invaded because of the difference between their race, religion or way of living. There are many different contributing factors to the history of violence; many of which still exist today. Violence has been around since the Mayans, Incas and Aztecs.

From 1848 to 1920, an outrageous span of 70 years, women fought for equal rights, to have their voices and opinions heard. Little by little women have gained rights they have so passionately fought for. In 1973, about 50 years after women became eligible to vote, and began to be taken more seriously, the case of Roe v Wade granted women to have one of the most impactful rights to date, to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. Now, it is safe to say that all women and perhaps most men would not want women to lose the rights they have today, especially because there have been many influential women around the world who have been given the chance to be impactful because of the rights they possess. So, if we do not want to take away women’s rights and
