It\u2019s quite dissatisfying to realize that your race determines exactly how you should be treated in a society. It has become a canker that being black itself isn\u2019t worth it in our own societies, being a gay or lesbian also isn\u2019t recognized as befitting to the norms that govern our societies let alone think of being a gay or lesbian who happens to be black; that\u2019s to total condemnation. At this juncture, it\u2019s very much an eye sore when individuals are forced to live their lives in hiding and neglect the very fundamental principles and rights that provide them with freedoms and privileges to survive and be considered as part of a community. It would actually be worth it should we lay down certain protocols that would accommodate such instances and allow us all enjoy our freedoms and privileges aside skin color discrimination and gender biases, if not for today, at least for the generations to come. These social constructs that stop us from accepting diversity but rather encouraged division and isolation on the basis of racism and radicalism in association with gender biases should be carefully dealt with and eliminated permanently to avoid any form of uprising and retaliation in the near future. It would only be fair that we learn how to tolerate ourselves and give each other room to operate, go about their activities without having to look over their shoulders on the daily because they are seen to either not be normal or are suffering from a deformity that needs to be cured because been gay or a lesbian and having a black skin color actually shouldn\u2019t be a crime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Society have also been arranged in a patriarchal nature where gender roles have been divided vigorously amongst the two factions known as the men and women with men having the upper hand because they are believed to be more knowledgeable than women. Privileges that are endowed on men are more important and deemed more satisfactory than that of women, systems have been laid down for men to be superior to women and as such women have been forced one way or the other to accept these system of living, they are to succumb to men over centuries and have found it very difficult to stand out and be on their own even when the opportunity brings itself. Despite culture being dynamic and it takes relatively a long time for such drastic changes to occur and as such making it difficult to psyche and change people\u2019s mindset of the social constructs that exist in our societies which literally gives more room for men to have the upper hand when it comes to role performance gender based and importance wise as sexes. This then forms a frame work where men are not just dominant but rather autocratic one way or the other leaving little or no room for women to operate. Interestingly men have maneuvered and found a way to keep women at bay by harnessing into their minds the ideology of they been second in all aspects and are to stay there, they sometimes support this with science on basis of IQ development among others establishing a framework that negatively supports men been gender bias taking control of everything and putting women in a position to succumb and accept their place as second to men.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
