Opression of the American Women

As you know, women were tired of being mistreated by men so they decided to fight for their rights. All of this, was one of the most important themes in the American History. Men felt superior than women just because they were stronger in force. Females were mistreated and they were restricted from doing many things.  

Women were treated as secondary to men and that was totally unfair.That's because everyone should be treated equally. Many girls were not allowed to be educated, because supposedly they meant nothing in the family. So, without education, they couldn't stand up for themselves and give good opinions. Also, there was job discrimination against them. They were considered weak and unable to perform heavy jobs. One of the men stereotype for women was that "woman's place is in the home". I think this is so rude, because we should have the right to decide what to do. Even though a women made the same job as a men, they were paid less. They gave them fewer promotions and were denied management-training. Woman's work was house holding just like cooking, cleaning, and caring for children. Many color females were restricted from having and employment, education, housing, and the right to vote.

Adolescent women had a lack of knowledge about sexuality and health. This adolescents suffered of genital mutilation, child marriage, premature parenthood and sexual abuse. This was so sad, because  many of those girls didn't have the life they should have. The Government controlled the women birth. If the women had a certain number of babies, they couldn't have anymore. This was very unfair! A women who had the money and the facilities to maintain another child should be accepted to have another child. Many women were abused sexually by their husbands. Others were forced to marry and have sex with men they do not desire. Also, men abused physically from women and nobody did nothing. In the U.S, a woman is raped every 6 minutes and hurt every 15 seconds. Men are so cruel ; they are supposed to show respect to a women and they are doing the opposite. At last, women were not allowed to vote. Their struggle to win this opportunity was slow and frustrating. This was also unfair for women. Men were the ones who choose and make decisions rather females like them or not. Also, the men controlled the women money. The custody of the children was gave to the men, when there was a divorce.

Women claims for their rights!

Some women weren't allowed to speak first than a men in a meeting or public activity. Also, there were laws telling the women what to wear. Many of the amendments of the constitution were violated for a women. The first amendment was violated, because women did not always have the right of freedom of speech. The fourth amendment was because women weren't protected in their houses and men abused from them. The most violated amendments were the fourteenth and fifteenth. This is because American women citizens weren't treated equally and they weren't allowed to vote. 

Discrimination against women can be seen at all ages based on their race, gender, and class. Men did not respect women neither the government. All of this is a a fight for freedom and human equal rights. Women should speak up for their rights and make justice. They should be respected, treated kindly, and be someone in every part they go.
