Argumentative paper about women and how they are claimed to be a weaker sex than that of males

Yours is not a bad paper and I was in agreement with most of what you said until the end of your essay. I'd like to first answer your question as to "why is a woman not able to handle the stress of actually being President?" You have provided not one bit of compelling evidence to support your implication that a woman couldn't handle the stress. Women are able to handle the stresses of the highest political offices and the fact that no woman has yet been president results from lingering discrimination, not any inability in women to handle stress. In addition, people do not always say that the "first lady really runs everything" and I don't even know what basis you have to make such a statement. Here's another statement that may raise hackles: "No matter how far women have come over time, they are still the lesser sex and will always be shown as weaker than men." Accompanying as it does your implication that women are less able to handle stress than men, I find this statement disturbing. Women can only be considered the lesser sex in connection with how they have been treated. Women may be physically weaker than men, but they are every bit as strong emotionally. I suggest you be more mindful of how you phrase your thoughts so that you are not misunderstood.

Due to the history of the world and the mentality of the past,SOME men still choose to exploit women. A Feminist describes the world as "malestream" because men hold higher positions. However, this is changing rapidly as more women are going out to the workplace. This may be due to a higher availability of education to women. Some women may be suppressed still but the situation WILL be entirely different in the years to come.


Thank you for that essay.The others' comments are very good as well.

The battle between the sexes has been something that always has been present in our society and all societies of the world. I have become sick of divisions. Why does humanity always have to divide itself? We're all human, and I know that phrase seems cliche, but I can't stress the importance of it. You can never generalise, because each person is different and there are so many cases where a woman is seen strong than a certain man and vice-versa. Strength is something that is determined by an individual, not their sex.

P.S. In regards to women not being able to cope with the stress of being President. So you know, the US is not the centre of the world. There have been many women around the world who have been leaders in their country. I find it strange how a country that is supposed to symbolise world progression hasn't been successful in political and governmental equality.

I agree whole heartedly with John on this one. As someone who lives in a country that has had a female prime-minister, I can honestly say that the men doing that job now seem to be weaker in terms of handling stress.
