Naomi Tirado Discussion 7

Women have been fighting for a chance to even be seen as equal to men and I feel like even in the 21st century we still have a lot to prove. It is very important to look back at history because of the work and suffering many women had to go through just for us to even be in the same work field as men. Of course, we have to celebrate the victories we have and the accomplishments of the women who risked their lives or even lost their lives just to give us the right to vote, but at the same time, it is important that we also realize how much progress we still need. In a lot of countries, women are still being treated poorly and have no rights. Reading about how women used to come together no matter what to protest just to have men hit, spit or even throw stuff at them even being arrested and tortured. We had to fight to have a spot in this world and we still have more to go. I do also believe in feminists that can be too overly extreme and start to degrade and push men down and to me I do believe that yes we should fight against men who oppress us but the ultimate goal is to be seen as equals. I used to work at a job that was all outdoors lugging logs around and building gardens and the majority of the people working there were all sexist and made me and other females feel inferior and that was hard because I constantly was seen and treated as a weak little girl. Obviously, I left that toxic environment but we have to do better to have better work places where women feel equal. Where they have a safe space to share, work and be creative.

    Hi Naomi, I do agree that it is very important to know the history of how women came to be. In today’s society, we would not be who we are without the women of yesterday. Sorry to hear that you were treated in that way. and Yes we still have a long way to go. I noticed that a lot of men in this generation are feminists too, they also believe that women are important.

    Hey Naomi, I love your post for this week, and I agree the women before us did a great job in getting us this far, but we still have a lot more to do to hopefully our future granddaughters can have the equally we want. And yes, you’re right. Going back to the last few assignments, this comment brings me back to the documentary I watched on girls how these five girls from different countries are fighting for equality and how this specific girl was targeting men who married little girls in Bangladesh, anywho I had the same experience when working at a phone company how many of our male costumers would hate to deal with me because they didn’t believe women were doing a better job than men.
