Feminism

Our society has come a long way since 1897 when women suffragettes fought for womens rights to vote. We wanted equal rights as men. For years womens work was in the kitchen, cooking cleaning and looking  after the children until thhe husband came home only to be greeted with a meal that the woman had slaved over the stove for. Cindy Sherman played many steryotypical roles of the woman in her flm stills. Looking at her work, these roles are still apparent in todays society the only difference is that the men help out with the housework or children too. Yes things have changed and for the better but yet there are still arguments over whereether we are equal. This point could be argued forever.The point is things have changed. If a company was to be sexist then they could be taken to court. There's too much fear nowadays which can mean that if a man gets chosen over a woman for the job it could be seen as sexist. This is where our society takes it too far. It  was a huge battle that had been won when the suffragetes got the vote but now feminism has been taken to the extreme and is illogical. A woman can't even dress the way she wants without being judged or frowned upon. Women feel like they need all this make up and designer clothes to make us feminime. A man can dress scruffy and no one will think twice. Surely what makes us feminime in the  fact that we were born female. Let us be who we want to be.
