I tend to ignore a personal or awkward question. Well, my life is an open book, anyway. Depends on the person asking and the occasion. Depends on the reason why they ask. Sometimes I do the bit, "why do you ask?" in a civil tone. That usually takes care of the Nosy Parkers.. 35.

This well-known expression comes from As You Like It, by William Shakespeare. It means roughly “There’s in fact a real and interesting story behind this.” You can use it as a linking sentence when you are going to talk about the background of an interesting object, incident, or idea: “The old man said, ‘See that tatty-looking pocket watch in the box? It saved my life during the war, and thereby hangs a tale.’”]. 42.

SOME HISTORICAL NOTES. Late 19th to early 20th century: Beliefs about women's physical and emotional frailty are widely used as justifications for restricting women's rights to vote, get an education, or hold professional jobs. Many educators argue that higher education will make women frigid, drain them of their beauty and health, and "prevent their pelvises from developing fully", causing women to suffer or even die in childbirth. To "treat" women who become rebellious or depressed due to their constricted roles, doctors surgically remove their ovaries, uteruses, and clitorises in highly dangerous operations. Meanwhile, the same scientific "experts" who lament the frailty of middle- and upper-class white women proclaim the robustness of the poorer women - both white and nonwhite - who must perform hard manual labour in fields, factories, and households. 1920s-1930s: As growing numbers of women receive higher educations and obtain jobs that allow them to survive economically without marrying, those who remain single and continue in "romantic friendships" become stigmatized as lesbians. 55.
(56) By Dream_Cather joshua.ranad@gmail.com ___________________________________________________________________________ 1950s to 1980s: Disdain for and fear of female reproductive organs among doctors (most of whom are male) continues in the twentieth century, and results in an epidemic of unnecessary episiotomies, caesarean sections, hysterectomies, and radical mastectomies. These numbers begin to taper off in the 1990s, but remain far higher than those recommended by medical scholars or the World Health Organization. 1960s to 1970s: The "Second Wave" of feminism begins. Feminists argue that women and men are morally, physically, and intellectually equal, and that the differences between men and women are less important than the similarities. In later years, some will argue that women's ability to create human life has made them innately superior to men -- more pacifistic, loving, moral, creative, and ecologically inclined.. Write Down Some Notes. 1 -- THE CASE FOR Yes, Women Are Now Equal To Men. A lot of progress has been made since the 1960s. Many parliaments today have both male and female representatives. Many companies are now owned or managed by women. Men now share in the raising of children and household responsibilities. Television series now portray women as successful career makers. Many important laws have been passed to ensure equality in the workplace. Haven't you ever heard of Margaret Thatcher or Mrs Çiller? People aren't discussing equality anymore. It has become a reality. In some countries, a married couple can choose whether the man or the women takes leave from work to look after the newly arrived baby.. 56.
(57) By Dream_Cather joshua.ranad@gmail.com ___________________________________________________________________________ 2 -- THE CASE AGAINST: Excuse Me! Women Still Have A Long Way to Go Before They Are Equal To Men. Most parliaments and governments still are made up in their majority of men. Women still earn less than men in many work situations. Women are still portrayed in a superficial manner in many television shows. Women are often not given enough responsibility based on the possibility that they might become pregnant. You can't change the results of hundreds of years of history within a mere 30 odd years. A lot of evidence point to the fact that sexual harassment is on the increase. We are having this debate because women are not equal. Otherwise, there would be no need to discuss the matter. O.K., Folks... The Floor Is All Yours Now !!.
