1. I thought this blog prompt was actually very interesting. She hints that by women learning the hard skills, such as reading and writing, a women will begin to grow confidence in herself. Accepting their place as an individual in a complicated society that is male dominate thinking. An educated women should be treated equally and recognize their qualities as they make strides in life. I strongly believe this concept is widely accepted among modern day civilazation. Some of the most influential figures were indeed women. In fact, it could definitely be argued that this would to men as well.
2. During heer time period if this events actually occured then absolutely I agree with her. However, in today's university setting I don't feel that discrimination towards females is as relevant. Women as well as men are both given an equal oppurtunity to obtain a strong founded education, and use it to make a respectable future for themselves. I guess there will always be that mental outlook of men are better at this but women are better at this, but I don't feel that is much room for improvement or remedying this area.
I like the way you expressed how an educated woman should be treated equally. Sometimes if some males would just give women a fair shot, they could see how much they could learn from them.
ReplyDeleteEveryone in America, at least by today's standards, are given equal opportunity in public education. It's a matter of which direction each individual takes their education that makes them shine in the future. I agree with you that today's university setting doesn't discriminate as much as it use to between genders.
ReplyDeleteI agree that there isn't as much gender discrimination as there was in other times. Great response.
