Women are the counterparts of men. Their roles have changed over the course of time. In today’s society they are at their peak point. Because they exist in all parts of our society. From schools to hospitals, from business sector to space, from politics to football. They are everywhere and can do everything or, at least they think so, a man can. One may think that this is a good sign of cooperation between men and women. But is it in reality? It’s a man’s world and women should take their dirty hands off our business.
In most of the ancient societies women were treated very badly. They were seen as scums. They couldn’t own a property or had individual freedom to get married. They were forced to walk behind their husbands and widows couldn’t remarry. They were inferior to men and source of temptation and evil. According to Greek mythology it was a woman called Pandora who opened the box that Zeus gave to her and brought plague and unhappiness to mankind. There are many other famous sayings that discredit women. Among these are;
• Woman, you are the devil’s gateway.” Tertullian
• Woman is the gate of the devil, the path of wickedness, the sting of the serpent, in a word a perilous object. St. Jerome
• In fact, even though the man was created outside of paradise, he is found to be superior. Ambrose the bishop of Milan
• Women are on earth to bear children. If they die in childbearing, it matters not; that is all they are here to do. Martin Luther
Male dominancy went on until the industrial revolution. With the industrial revolution people left their farms and started moving to cities where they worked in big factories together with other people. At first women still couldn’t work because the work required physical strength but they found a perfect solution to this. If they don’t have physical strength they have physical attraction. So, they started selling their bodies. Even though prostitution existed before, it became much more common after the industrial revolution because people started living in crowded cities. Crowded cities mean more interaction with other people and more interaction leads to seduction. Of course prostitution was not the only so called job that women were doing. They started taking parts into society more and more frequently. Also feminist philosophies were becoming popular back at that time that encouraged women. One of those philosophies supported the idea that “individuals had unlimited capacities and that when people's roles were defined according to their sex, human development was severely limited.” Thanks to such views women were set free and their role in society has never went down since then. They become more and more active in our lives. It feels like an old dream now, when you read how women were behaved back then. But still in today’s world women are used as sexual objects to trick the men’s mind. When you go to buy a car, you can see all the customer representatives are women. Yet those women don’t even have a simple idea how to drive that car or how that engine works. It’s only because to make the car more appealing, creating an environment with women’s sexual attractiveness to sell it. Unfortunately some silly men fall into this trap. On the other hand women are actually unaware of why they are chosen for such jobs. They think it’s because of their intelligence, yet it’s merely because of their attractiveness. It is unlikely but let’s just say a woman was able to get a job using her intelligence capacity. Here another factor interacts with the woman’s decision making capacity. It’s the emotions. Women are tend to decide according to their emotions. They barely or never consult to their brains which help individuals to be impartial and reasonable. Women eat according to their emotions, they dress according to their emotions, they dye their hair according to their emotions but when they decide according to their emotions it’s disaster. Of course one positive factor of women being emotional is that their emotions are easily exploitable. But, still negative sides are worse than positive ones. Unfortunately there is no way to send women back where they came from. What we see now is women’s rising from their ashes. They are invading more and more men’s world. They create some silly trends such as keeping their maiden surname when getting married. When getting married, women do accept losing some certain things, if they haven’t done so; but why not accepting losing their maiden surname. Moreover I pity the men who let this happen. It is a sign of dignity for men to give their surname, running over their wives’ surname. Women who don’t want to lose their surname shouldn’t be getting married. Because it is funny and absurd having 20 word length name almost as long as a paragraph. All in all, women existence in society only corrupts our lives. They should be doing the only thing a man can’t, giving birth. Because apart from giving birth man can do everything by himself and does not need any help from women. Male is the superior form of human species. Ancient people knew this truth, I hope at some point in the future mankind will remember it again.
