A Woman's Purpose

 

Beauty or Brains: A Woman’s Empowerment

 

Being a teenager, anyone does not hold being gorgeous with brains against you. They do not judge with discrimination even though the possibility of that in one in a million. I watched as I began to learn more and more about the world, how to do taxes, cook, clean, and look attractive everything women should know to impress the opposite sex. However, what I was not told was that women could own her looks and still have brains to cover, but if not acknowledged by a male, then it was a disappointment.  As the years go by, I am now at the age of 16. I learn that being pretty is easy if you have the right accessories, yet to be smart you have to earn your place in a man’s world as on their level. If you are just pretty, you could be easily mistaken than a girl who is very well educated and breath taken. I watched in movies, grocery stores and movie theatres that the pretty girls can have no higher than a middle school education and still make it through the male’s world with no problems. Woman, who are filled with knowledge about the unknown, simplistic makings of food or even how to do the right job, do not even get glanced at. Therefore, I found that women are being upgraded by looks then by brains in this sexist world we seem to put up with.

I have never come close to even understanding real life. I will admit that. “The Big Bang Theory” can be an educational yet functional television show for anyone to watch. There is something I have failed to realize about it. There is a group known as the nerd lock: Sheldon, Leonard, Stuart, and Raig. I can not forget about sweet little old Amy (short blonde head, with a nasally voice) currently going back to school for her bachelor’s degree in health science to become a microbiologist. Her fiancé Stuart (May I say the non repulsive one of the group) is there to support her throughout the whole process. Stuart is unemployed and ashamedly to say that it has been that way for years. Sheldon who not on America’s hot list, however, is brilliantly educated (since birth) about any subject of the matter. Leonard is a shorter version of Adam Sandler with less looks and wears a starships pin like it is a personal gift from Captain Kurt. Despite his looks, he makes up for them by having three degrees in technology and advances with a whole closet of action figures, which is not even open yet. Last, but not least, Raig is a short, weird and unattractive physiologist who is also Indian. He came from Guyana, Egypt to get a job. They all live interesting lives and something to be proud, but Penny, who is an appealing, care-free, single and independent woman, however, works as a waitress at a low rate shop. She gets undermined by Sheldon being that she can not comprehend a single word he says nor give an exact response. She has no technology experience to talk to her ex Leonard about, nor does Amy or Raig. She only talks to them when she is bored. The men allow it because she is striking, and that is the only lady they can talk to without getting gaudy.

Women are so much capable of more than sharpening pencils, answering the phone, or even typing. You do not think women can show a PowerPoint to her executives or be the boss of a major establishment that is well on its way to the top. Men are so threaten to see a woman in a higher position than them that they have to do the unjust, which is inexcusable for anybody. “With females being in a higher education, has been characterized by an absurd combination of discrimination and exclusion, on the one hand, and increasing equality and empowerment, on the other” (Mehran, Golnar). “This study of what every woman is thinking focuses on the triangle of education: equality and empowerment.”

A women’s education should be as important to them as to men finding an eye candy. Educational females are being applauded or shunned down by their effort to work in a man’s position. With over two hundred years passing, women have had a thirst for more knowledge of the unknown, not to mention our looks improve every week or months. I still do not see why our ability to look intelligent is overlooked by our degrees in the field we are well qualified to handle. Personally, I think that women should retaliate with discrimination against men rather than keep ourselves steady. Reason being is that there are rarely women in control over the male sex. I wondered if women still were not allowed to get an education, would we still come across not fit for the men’s due to our appearance.
