Women are often stereotyped into what’s expected of them and the level of success they are able to achieve. Women are marginalized because they are females. There are both physical and mental pressures that come with being a female. Social equality seems to be a tough task to achieve in modern society. Women are isolated from things that are subconsciously seen as a “man’s job.”
“I believe that the rights of women and girls is the unfinished business of the 21st century,” said Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Clinton is judged because she is competing to take on the title of president of the U.S. Clinton is known for being blunt and aggressive, which is a recurring reason why people do not feel that America is ready for a female president.
Being a female comes with many responsibilities and they are expected to do so much at a young age as well as when they get older.
“Women help children, get jobs, take care of the kids … women do everything,” said senior Alexis Legrone.
A lot tends to fall into the hands of a female and she is expected to take it all on and make it happen.
“I don’t feel pressure being a female because I’m my own person and I should be treated the same way males are. They get certain opportunities that we don’t get and it’s not fair,” said senior Autumn Hollaway.
Equal opportunities should be given to both genders, since women have been able to prove themselves to be even more independent than men.
