Struggles

            Katheren Millet once said "Because of our social circumstances, the male and female are really two cultures and their life experiences are utterly different." Women our constantly at odds with themselves to be treated and respected like men. Males struggle to find peace within themselves and handle the stress of being a male. Society expects certain standards from both men and women that are not always the right things to follow for people to feel at peace with themselves. This causes the never ending struggle we as a society face to be happy in our own lives.
             Women have fought for equal rights and jobs and to be treated as a man since the beginning of time. Women in the beginning were just a source of carrying on life. They were there to give birth and that was it. Women have always tried to prove themselves to men, hoping to be as worthy of respect as men seem to be. Because a society has taught women to feel like they have to be on a man's standard, we are forcing a society to be something that they aren't. Girls today are being forced in so many directions to try and become what is considered the right and proper way for a girl to act."It is feminist women who write and edit books and magazines for teen girls. It is feminist women who hacve fought for abortion rights and the end to parental consent laws for girls. It is feminst women who have championed the right of girls to be as sexually free as boys. In short, these older women are the authors of the girlhood project. Are they now the right parties to repair the damage done?" (Whitehead, 375) Whitehead discusses here how ridiculous it is and sounds for a girl to be taught to be exactly what guys should not be. Just because male standards allow things that should not really be allowed by a society does not mean that for there to be equality a woman must also behave in those ways. .
             Men also have standards that they must live up to as a society.
