What are the women rights in society???

Question

Has something changed a lot from the past?
Have women the same rights as men have?

Answer 1

in America, yes..you actually have more rights than men. if a man and a woman have sex, and a pregnancy results, the man has the "right" to accept the womans decision and live with the results. if she chooses to abort, he has no say, if she chooses to keep it, he has to pay

Answer 2

I'm not sure if either men or women have more rights but I definitely liked what GSDJunkie has said in her answer. Women NEED to step up in being women. We need more of those loving stay at home moms that will take care of our children and teach them the morals that they need to become good stand up citizens. Schools won't teach such things so it's up to the parents, ESPECIALLY the women because men (in general) can not give that same affection, understanding and care to a child that a mother can.

MEN are MEN and WOMEN are WOMEN, they will never be the same, they can be equally valued but they will never be the same.

Answer 3

It depends on your perspective and from which country you are writing. Western culture, i.e, Europe, the British Isles, U.S. and Canada has accorded women equal rights with their male counterparts, at least on paper, although disparities still exist in equal pay for equal work sectors, etc. What are those rights? To exist within the framework of their society, and abide by the laws of that society. They are not limited in ownership of property, business, profession, voting rights, service on a jury. How is that a change from the past? In the past 400 years, women have progressed from being considered not much more than chattel property whose rights were tied to the wishes of their husband or male family member (sounding remarkably similar to current Islamic culture) to independent beings with the rights to decide their own future or lack thereof on their own. The right to vote for American and British women was accorded in the early part of the 20th century (so even in our culture, women have had an opportunity for a political voice for les than 100 years). Western/Jewish culture affords very different rights to women than does Islamic culture. I know that many Islamic women would say they have as much freedom as they desire in their own country, but any "freedom" that puts their mobility at the discretion of a male family member doesn't sound very much like freedom to me. Does this answer your question?

Answer 4

Women have some, not all, of the same rights as men as long as they pretend to be men in the corporate sense: unfeeling, putting personal ambition before relationships, competitive, combative and uninterested in things outside of power and money.

Put on all these masks and you may enjoy some respect as a woman. Decline and you'll be labeled someone B-grade who "cries in the workplace."

Answer 5

The Equal Rights Amendment was killed in the 1980's. The argument that was used to scare Americans was women in combat. It was a lame argument. The idea that there is a "front line" in combat denies the reality of modern warfare. Women may not be considered for infantry duty, but they are still considered combatants. Now there is no ERA, and not a leg to stand on the "women in combat" argument.

Answer 6

Awesome answer, Bob!

Women, for the most part, in America, have the same rights as men. We have fought and won many, many battles over the years. We were at one time considered property, first by our fathers, then by the husbands we were "chattled" to.

We have come a long way, but to what peril? We are having babies out of wedlock at an alarming rate, we have convinced our daughters that they don't need husbands to raise families. We have more single-parent households living in poverty than ever. But, it is our "right".

We have children shooting up schools because both parents are too busy chasing the almighty dollar to notice that they've got sawed-off shotguns sitting on their dressers. Dads have no say whatsoever in the fate of their unborn babies, but if the woman chooses to carry that baby to term, then he is required to give her money to pay for it. I had to sign a permission slip for my husband to get a vasectomy, but I can abort a baby without his ever knowing it.

Organizations like the League of Women Voters and NOW have taken the sufferage movement way past where it needed to go, and now they are taking it much too far off into the distance. We, women, are responsible for the breakdown of society as we know it, by putting our selfish needs first, and leaving our men and our families to fend for themselves. They can't do it without us, but we're too busy pursuing our own agendas to notice. In the process we have f'd up an entire society.

Should we have remained property? Absolutely not. We should, however, choose between a BMW and a child, if one is sacrificed to obtain the other.

We are seeing it in the news every day. Kids are getting stuff instead of love and dicipline, and we are spiraling out of control.

It is our fault. We are the women.

Answer 7

In the United States, Women's rights are protected by the U.S. Constitution, same as all U.S. citizens. Outside of the U.S., especially in Muslim countries, women's rights are sometimes non-existent.

Answer 8

In the US, everyone shares the same rights no matter the gender.

Answer 9

No we have more. when a guy can be multiorgasmic then they will be equal.

Answer 10

Not until they stop crying in the workplace
