Women need to step up their game to ensure that we actually use some of the rights we have been given after years of fighting for them.

  • srblake, i agree with your comment to a degree. The article pointed out that women still receive inferior pay to a man's. Not only is this unacceptable, but its proof that we are still struggling for equality. As we continue the struggle, our society remains extremely sexist. Unfortunately the years of fighting and struggling haven't gotten us to an equal level as a man's. To say that we need to step it up isn't correct. Would we ask ethnic people to step it up because of previous struggles and fights? Of course not. And that is because the struggle for equality continues and has never ended....

  • I agree. It is about educating, tolerence, and understanding. I agree with equality and feminism yet it can get carried away. You shouldn't fight for yourself because of a sex difference, you should fight for yourself because you are simply human just like any other person. SOME (not all) feminists who get too carried away and bicker among themselves about how condescending and demeaning some acts are like when anyone, usually a male, holds open a door is wrong- when in fact they should do it out of politeness. I do it for people and I expect it from anyone and it isn't condescending in the least. If someone sexually harasses me I don't deal with it because it is ethically wrong as a person, not just a women. People seem to lose focus of that.
    While we're on the topic of women's issue, I came across a quote I loved, "Women's bodies are valued as ornaments. Men's bodies are valued as instruments."--Gloria Steinem (author and advocate of women's rights)
