Law, Justice and Society chapter 11

Before this chapter I thought feminist were woman who all hatted men and thought that men are wrong in what they do. This chapter has changed my mind to me feminists are women who believe that women should be treated the same as men or just close the men, since men and women are built different and both men and women have different needs. Since Greek Mythology women have been treated as inferior to men and have been believed that they are the worst thing that has happened to the world. Homer believed that women were made to be controlled and that they were put on this earth just for mans pleasure. Plato and Aristotle believed that women are the body and the men are sole and that women are home and the men are society. That shows that they believed that women were not as good as men and that women are inferior to men. Athens believed that women are just for pleasure and that's all that they are good for. In Sparta women had some right but not as much as men. In Rome women were girls for their entire lives, that means that women were like property that when they got married their husband owned them. In Europe Federal System women were subordinate and home bound, if there was no male in the house hold then the women could have owned the property. Through out the entire history women are inferior to men and have been used as utensils of pleasure for men. Women were owned and if anyone hurt the wife or daughter of someone the husband or the father was compensated for the damage, it worked like property damage right now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YA13GNT8Mc (not only females can be a feminists males can be feminists too because they can believe that women are treated poorly in the past and now.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTLDb-flVNE (this video has some bad language). Today women still do not get paid the same as men at all jobs. Some jobs discriminate against women just because the people that run the jobs think that women can not handle the work load of the job. I believe that there are some jobs that women should not do but it is not for me to decide if women want to do the job or not. Women's law has been improving and has been giving the same rights to women as men have but there is still much work to be done in the world. So feminism is like a social movement that gives women more rights that men have and gives women more opportunities in life. We have came a long way from the olden days but to make everyone equal we still have to go even further. This chapter has been very interesting to me and now when i look into history i will know that women have been treated unfairly by men
for many years.
