How Males And Females Are DEFINITELY Equally Represented...

How Males And Females Are DEFINITELY Equally Represented...
www.debate.org

There is often a debate as to whether males or females are superior. I personally feel that in every way shape and form neither group is superior or inferior to the other. This "battle of the sexes" however seems to be coming to its final conclusion as within this day and age both are represented equally 100 percent of the time. The following list includes just some of the reasons that we should accept that neither is more represented and why we should all just agree that we are equal in every respect.


1. There are no sports teams of any level that specifically have only one gender represented.

If you head to a local sports game you will notice that there is an equal representation of gender. There are not even separate teams for males and females. This actually extends onward to the national level. If you watch any NFL (National Football League), MLB (Major League Baseball), or NBA (National Basketball Association) games you'll notice that, once again, there is an equal representation of both men and women.


2. There is no wage gap whatsoever in the workplace, nor a glass ceiling for that matter.

In all fields of study men and women are equally paid. Men and women also tend to be promoted at the same level of frequency.


3. When a divorce happens between a heterosexual couple who have children gender roles will never bias the decision as to who gains custody.

When such a divorce happens, unless one of the parents actually is unfit (i.e. abusive, incompetent, etc.) all sides and facts will be taken into consideration on this decision. It would be unheard to find one of the two parents more "nurturing" based on their biology.


4. Schools do not enforce dress codes based on archaic gender roles either.

The fact that people would have an issue with clavicles or leggings is purely asinine. That is why I am so relieved that no student has ever been sent home over such trivial matters.


5. When a person is in a relationship and they suffer from abuse people will always believe them, even if they are a male.


6. People also believe that no one would ever lie about being raped, and would never disregard the accusations of a male against someone raped him.

7. It is unheard of to give a gender to inanimate objects.

No person calls a toy a boy toy or a girl toy. It is also unheard of to consider pink and blue to denote genders.


8. People no longer believe in archaic concepts such as "chivalry."

It is immensely looked down upon for a man to pay for a woman on every date, or to always open the door for her, or to always pull a chair out for her, etc.


As you can see our society is on the brink of a revolution of equal rights (or at least it needs to be). I accept this change immensely and I hope that we can eliminate misogyny in its entirety.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
