Misogyny: The ongoing battle

The perspective of women has evolved throughout the generations, but does this view truly capture their importance?
Women are depicted and treated in such ways in our past that would bring modern day women to arms.
They have contributed to different works in various fields such as the sciences, literature, history, and so many other core studies, yet with all the knowledge and input they have given us; they still seem to lack the appreciation that is needed.
By taking a look at what the past has held, it has shown that the classification that the male species has rarely looked toward a woman as anything more than a “helper.” A female’s voice was never truly heard by her father/husband because they believed that their opinion mattered in no way that would benefit decision-making.
Phrases such as “it’s not a woman’s job” spun from this way of thinking, which is truly outdated seeing that these ladies have done more than men in most cases.
Modern day women have truly proven to the world that they are capable of doing just about anything a man can do plus more, from owning multi-million dollar businesses to running for President.
We neglect our womenfolk, but most importantly we neglect the hard working, and educated women that have built a foundation for a world who has barely given them the recognition that they deserve.
Briana Rankins, a Criminal Justice major for Lake Charles exclaims; “Men in high positions tend to feel as though women are offered positions simply to take orders. Most women stand against normality, but I feel as though God made both men and women to be equals!”
Looking down on women will lead to a path of destruction, which is something our ancestors would deem ridiculous, but we no longer live in that era so all that can be said is simply, cherish our ladies.
From a woman’s perspective, misogyny is a part of life. There will always be someone to tell a woman what her role is. Though this generation is very headstrong, the previous generations are stuck in the past. There is always a man to say that his wife should do dishes and he’ll take out the trash.
When asked whether misogyny has become and ongoing battle for women, Corinne Vaughn a Political Science major from Campti, Louisiana responded, “Misogyny is alive and well in this day and age. It has become sad that we always have to go the extra mile whether it be working harder or sexualizing ourselves to make to the top. We aren’t being seen as human beings but as items. We have been belittled. Even once we’ve proven our worth, we still don’t receive the credit that we deserve. Misogyny is the very issue that I and many other women and young girls have at hand right now: Fighting Sexual assault, domestic violence, and respect on a corporate level. Misogyny affects women in all aspects of our lives.”
In conclusion, misogyny is an ongoing and blatant disrespect for women. In a world run by men, there will be a woman to trample over. Women have secured their positions in society and deserve to shake the stigmas that they have been branded with
