The Mismeasure of Women Article Response

I liked this article, I had some agreements and some disagreements. But I wouldn't like to read it again, because I usually get very heated when thinking about racial/gender discrimination, and that kind of anger ain't so good.

~A) The article, in the most basic terms, was about how women have suffered in and out of the workplace because of the position they have been placed in the minds of others. They are looked down upon and considered lower than men in the most obvious ways, even though people surprisingly don't see that. And even in journalism are they looked down on, which surprised me.

~B) Apparently, there is discrimination in the journalism workplace, but of course there is a sense in every job a woman gets because of their reduced pay. But it's obvious that women are just as good as men in the sense that they can work. I mean, our journalism class is composed of women only. How cool is that? As a plus, I think that its really cool that a journalist can write an article about gender discrimination. Most people don't even think about how racist the world is and they all just let it slide, like I usually do. So it's good to know that you don't have to choke down vulgar comments about your feminism like a horse pill. This article does encourage women to fight for their rights in a sense. Which is what I liked about it.

~C) However, I do wonder about some of the writer's comments and what she really meant about them. Most of the comments at the end about how women see things differently were vague and ambiguous. And also, how long is it going to take, really, for people to stop looking down on others and just admit they are equal? I just wrote an essay on this today too, wow how relevant. But I already know, that it'll never happen because the world isn't perfect and to strive for equality is to strive for perfection.
