What do I think about these documents’ stances on women’s rights? I am not completely sure, as I did not live in the time period… but I tend to agree with their message if not their particulars. For instance I agree that women should be treated equally to men, but I do not believe that men tend to be any more tyrannical then women. I do however believe that men tend to have more chances to be tyrannical on average. How does this topic relate to today? Women’s rights are very much an issue today, both with equal pay and with gender discrimination, here and abroad. The only thing I have to say that might be considered not fair is that I do not think that women should be (legally required to be) given any extra time off (maternity leave) if they are being paid the same as men… I truly believe if equal treatment. I think that child birth is an very important part of anyone’s life and should be well thought out and planned in advance…. However, I also think I am male and as such have no real right to make any decisions that have to do with others childbirth. I do not think that women should be denied rights based on PMS… In fact there are some interesting studies that have come out that suggest mood swings related to PMS are not much more then societal constructs (Links: http://www.ctvnews.ca/health/pms-moodiness-may-be-a-myth-study-1.1000582 ; http://www.nytimes.com/ref/health/healthguide/esn-pms-ess.html ; etc Google it) as such PMS cannot be used as a excuse to not vote for a women… But then again it cannot be used as an excuse to act like a tyrant ether. Speaking of tyrants… lets name some female ones (just to justify my claim that women are just a likely as men to be tyrannical): Cleopatra; Countess Elizabeth Bathory; Queen Ranavalona I the Cruel; Elena Ceauşescu; Queen Mary of England; Empress Catherine II; etc. Yeah… % wise… I think that more female leaders have be tyrants then men… But then again less women have had a chance so those that have clawed their way to the top may just have be more likely to be tyrants (Just because they had to fight that much harder to be in charge). Well that’s all for now, hope to see you next time… Till then, stay alive (after then too). Goodbye all.
