Oppression of Women;

          Women have had a history of being discriminated for their gender. During the 1800s the idea was created that the only "true woman" was the submissive wife and mother concerned exclusively with home and family. This idea meant that women were considered to be good women when they stayed at home taking care of the house and taking care of the children, meaning that single unmarried women were considered to be less. Women were considered to be weaker than men. Women were basically encouraged to be followers, but could not have an opinion.

          Women were not allowed to vote, because politics was not considered to be a women business. Businesses were also sexist. Women were not given high positions or important jobs in business companies. Also women could have had the same position as as men and done the exact same job, they got payed less than men. If we go even further back in history girls were not even allowed to go to school and get an education. Women were forced by the government to surrender their properties to their husbands after marriage. Women were basically not allowed to be fully independent.

          Women were discriminated for a very long time. Women were under estimated for their gender. They were put on lower positions than men. They were seen as if their place was always at home taking care of the children and the house. Women should have been treated equal to men, because they are fully capable of doing things just as well.
