Chapter 11: Woman and the Law

If I was to reflect upon this chapter I would have to say that women would have to be the most under protect class in the world. Black men even received rights before women did and I find that quite disturbing. However, over time women started to gain more and more rights, but they are not yet equal to anyone else in our society. Most if not all governments in the world are still patriarchy's or dominated by males. I do have an opinion on women being equal though. I believe that women should not be equal for a number of reason. First of which is that women physically are not equal to men therefor in specific jobs males should be payed more based on their strength. Second, women are the sole producers of children. A woman should not be payed less nor should she be fired from work for missing any type of work because of the pregnancy. Some say this is unfair, but when it comes down to it without women the human race would die out.

One thing that should really change is that men and women should be treated equally in the eyes of the law. In old England if a man killed his wife he would be hung and if a woman killed her husband it would be considered treason. This is unfair and in my opinion men and women should get the same charge. Even thought they are physically different men and women have the same mental capability's.

In concluding this blog I have one last thing to say. Men and women should be treated equally in some aspects of life, but really I do not believe that they will ever be fully equal just because of the nature of the human race.
