However, another reason they decide is because they want to keep the power and want to be in control- this is also a very common theme in the play. The women can refuse to get married, but can risk being disowned by their family and technically being thrown out onto the streets, so it is safer not to refuse and go ahead with the marriage. In my opinion, the Elizabethan society is not fair because of the fact that women have no rights and are just used for whatever the men wish. However this is because I live in a society where equality is the key to peace and a country where women have been in charge. Although if I lived in the Elizabethan times then I would not know what my opinion would be, as to whether I would think it is normal or unfair.
Although some perspectives on the subject claim women live in bad faith and put themselves in situations to be defined as a body part, if there was no routine of male’s looking or the notion to dominate and females attention starvation or feelings to please, there would be no need for a dominant and submissive relationship. Overall it seems woman will be in a constant battle overcoming their gender because it’s society and that’s just how it works. Whether it’s right or wrong, at the end of the day, if nothing drastic is done for change, then it is what it is and people will conform to
It can be argued that Jennifer's silence presents the reader with a situation that can only bring them to marginalise the role of the female gender in the text and to view her in a negative way. However, the text does offer other female characters in positions of strength, none more so than Scully's daughter Billy, and to some extent, the other females he contacts during his chase. These other characters are often represented in a negative way, but this negativity comes courtesy of Scully's point of view, biased by Scully's obvious dislike for them or his belief that they like to think they are better than him or that both he and Jennifer were little more than playthings or a travelling freak show to these
She feels uncomfortable around people she does not know. Instead of attending event more often and trying to get over her shyness, she stopped attending events because it something she can not change. This is an example of learned helplessness.

Module 4 Answering the Opposition ITT Technical “The Latest from the Feminist Front” What was your initial reaction to Limbaugh’s claim that “feminism was established so that unattractive women could have easier access to mainstream of society?” My initial reaction was that Limbaugh was being disrespectful to women in general. Al women have a right to easier access to society whether they are attractive or unattractive. They are still women and women should be respected as much as men are respected. His statement is also very insensitive. What are two of Limbaugh’s main points?
Whereas, Pamela Paul’s essay contains information provided solely by her, which can be seen as bias to some readers. The reader may see Pamela Paul as an over protective mother, this will then undermine her valid points on the potential carcinogens in
However they do have differences in their voice. The creature is afraid and lacks of confidence whereas Lady Macbeth is very confident and is not afraid of her actions even knowing the consequences. Both Mary shelly and Shakespeare create determined voices in Lady Macbeth and the creature. In act one scene seven, Lady Macbeth questions Macbeth and says ‘we fail’ showing her confidence that they will not fail. Lady Macbeth refuses to accept failure; she already has a plan in order to kill Duncan.
A bird with a broken wing is much more limited in its options, while a women sick of being oppressed by men can still survive and move on or leave the oppressive environment that she is in. The final passage in a book like this one needs to be powerful and convincing. In The Awakening the ending seems to leave the reader confused as to why Edna would drown herself just to get away from the oppression that she was being held under. There are too many opportunities to alter the ending to this book without make this a women’s rights book. This shows that the ending could have easily been left
It may be that you do not challenge discrimination often, that you do not feel that can challenge discrimination or that you do not recognise discrimination when it occurs around you. It might also be that you are afraid to challenge discrimination for some reason, or that you do not believe there is value in equal opportunities. Whatever the case, it is time you realise that discrimination against anyone hurts everyone. Until every person is guaranteed equality, no one is. Think on this the next time you observe discrimination taking place and ask yourself if you really want to sit back and let it happen.
However, given the fact that she is a female may be somewhat of a constraint. Females, generally speaking, are more nurturing and don’t really share that ‘tough love’ practice that males do. This may be a reason why she would not want to penalize the obese and smokers. Pressey would love to see a positive change for these people and would like to motivate them to do so. On the other hand, some people feel that this topic should not even exist as it is too intrusive into an employee’s personal life.
