A Women’s Individuality

She stands at 5’5 wearing a denim skirt with a floral colored blouse ready for work, cannot forget about the 6 inch stilettos heels that are made for dancing which just makes her legs scream attention. As she walks in the office to start her typing exercise he watches her. He asks her “Are you in the wrong place?’’ she simply answers “No, I am the new secretary.” He shakes his head and walks away to whisper to his pal “Since when we started hiring dancers to act professional?” Women are 60% more likely to catch a man’s attention on a day their natural then on a day they dress up. Women are not only looked down by our clothing but by any existing factor that we might show such as: a job, foot wear, hairstyles, where we eat at or even who is in our contact list. Women are doing better than men in other areas; on average, they live four or five years longer than men, although the gap is closing (Andrew Stevenson). Men should process their bodies in a more local ways (Stephanie Pappas). Women +prejudice= a male’s discrimination. Some women to claim they are blessed for the fact they have a God giving shape anyone would kill for. The study of a women’s shapes of over 6,000 women, carried out by male researchers at the North Carolina State University circa 2005, found that 46% were banana (a man’s less likely pick), just over 20% were a pear, just fewer than 14% were an apple, and 8% an hourglass. Another study has found “that the average women’s waistline had expanded by six inches since the 1950s” studied by Michael Vereen. Today’s statistics prove that the waistline catches the male’s eye every 5 minutes a day. Women are taller and have bigger butts and hips than those of the 1950s (Michael Vereen). Not only do they contradict us by our body, but also by anything that comes up. Men like to think they know everything. If you have a weird bump on your ankle, they are suddenly doctors. If your cupcakes did not turn out just right, they are suddenly pastry chefs. Now, some men think they know everything there is to know about women. They do not know what makes us women-like our tubes and eggs, but how we act. How we are as a human being. And how all of us fall under the same umbrella (Ella, Ella) (Coed Magazine’s). Economist David Neumark argued “that discrimination by employers tend to steer women into lower-paying occupations and men into high-paying occupations.” Warren Farrell had stated “that the pay gap can no longer be attributed to large-scale discrimination against women.” Women spend more of their spouse’s money when they want something because they expect to look good for their men. When a woman is alone she tends to be careful about the way she spends her money. In 2001 men gained control over their money when their women are not working. Statistics prove that women get treated less than men because they have no money that is equal to the man’s amount. In 2011, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported “women’s media weekly earnings to be 81% of men’s.” As a result, women’s earnings were closer to men’s in more states in the south and the west and the men will have to accept that. No limit or new boundaries? Courts have interpreted title VII’s prohibition against sex discrimination to categorize men because they are men and women because they are women. SGR law show that women were not made to be judged at any point in time against any circumstances. That relatively straightforward idea typically has conjured up some traditional and distinctive images when discussing sex discrimination. A male manager subjecting a female employee to some type of unwanted sexual advice; a woman forced to endure sexual jokes and jeers from male co-workers; a woman is denied a position or promotion because she is a female (Smith, Gambrell & Russell, LLP). Although, women feel unappreciated when men judge them they still have a voice from a complete stranger. That stranger is me, speaking for all the beautiful women out there. Women were not put on earth to be judged, put down, categorized or even treated unfairly. We are humans just like the rest of mankind. Men should not judge us because we are not perfect and neither are they. God did not make men perfect; in his eyes everyone has their flaws. . Objectification of women comes from centuries of social programming, not nature. But little did anyone know, for centuries of religions and arrogant tyrants or self-appointed upper class fools teaching each other and other men that women are objects. Also during this significant time those same influences from religion and society teaching women that their bodies are somehow evil for the fact that nature designed the woman's body to be able to attract males. This is where the discrimination of women comes from. Women deserve more and we waited enough centuries. It is time to claim what is rightfully ours. Respect!

Do Women Have it or Not?

Daily mail argues in the article “YOU HAVE TO BE HAPPY TO BE BEAUTIFUL” that a glimpse at the magazine rack in any supermarket checkout line will tell you that women are frequently the focus of sexual objectification. The daily mail also states that you have to be happy to be beautiful. In this day of science research finds that the brain actually processes images of women differently in the mind of a man. Women are more likely picked by body parts then by the brain. Women only think of men being the whole package (having a job, own house, own money, own car etc.) that’s why women do not objectify them by their parts. “Many people should process a woman’s body in a more local way, Not focusing on individual body parts like breasts” stated the daily mail. To test the idea, Gervais and many other acquaintances carried out two nearly identical experiments with a total of 227 undergraduate participants. The results showed a clear mockery between the images of men and women. When viewing female images, the participants were better at recognizing individual parts than they were matching whole-body photographs to the originals. The opposite was true for male images: People were better at recognizing a guy as a whole than they were his individual parts. Again another theory proved to be correct by men. Did you know that, women with bodies that have many more shapes and parts that are different, it probably does not take her entire body to determine who she is? But this nonsense in the article, where it all automatically becomes a whole issue about women being discriminated for bogus reasoning, is a load of BS. Objectification of women comes from centuries of social programming, not nature. But little did anyone know, for centuries of religions and arrogant tyrants or self-appointed upper class fools teaching each other and other men that women are objects. Also during this significant time those same influences from religion and society teaching women that their bodies are somehow evil for the fact that nature designed the woman's body to be able to attract males. This is where the discrimination of women comes from.
