Equal? Greater Than.

I don’t really like gender issues. I don’t like talking about them or reading about them or sharing my opinion on them. And I think a lot of people are just like me and that’s the problem. I am most interested in one topic though: Has the Women’s Movement Left Men Behind?

Since gender issues are my least preferred from all of the myths, I probably won’t write about that. However, the above title hit me during class on Monday and got me thinking I could probably write a kick ass paper on it. In a society of Women’s Marches and fighting for Women’s Equality and trying to change the way the world sees women, are we doing men wrong by expecting them to keep the same role they have had since the beginning of time? Has the fight for equality gone too far the other direction? Are we fighting for equality, or are we fighting for women to have it better than men? And if it is the latter, are we just trying to get even for the hundreds of years we were treated unfairly? And if so, when does the cycle of abuse end? Or will we just go back and forth between who has power until the end of time?
