As a twentieth century teenager, we tend to accept and assume that all man and woman are equal and received similar privileges. However, only when we look back at history, we can see that women have only received these rights for less than 60 years. Women throughout human history are usually inferior to man both physically and mentally. Women were discriminated and treated as if a property of man. Women were born to do house choirs and forbidden to get educated. Women merely serve as a servant for man and a reproductive tool for society. In many cultures, male tends to be in favor over female in family that only man can prove useful and be successful. For example, King George once killed over 6 of his wives just because they can’t give him a male successor. Male tends to be the dominator of the world and expected to do better than women. With such expectation, women tend to accept themselves as inferior to men and perform laboring jobs. Only until recently in the late 1900s those women begin to be able to take man’s job and have voting right and the right to express their opinion. Even though in many countries such as Congo and some other African countries women are still treated unfairly, our world begins to work toward our goal of equality.
