Female Soldier’s Fight for The Front Lines Women have been fighting throughout the history of America to share the same equal rights as men. In the country’s bleak past, women were not allowed to vote, run for governmental office, or work certain jobs because of an overall feeling that women were inferior to men. Looking back on these acts of discrimination today, the leaders of our country recognize that the way women used to be treated is unjust and completely wrong. Women are equal to men…

Newt Gingrich’s comments regarding women in the military are sexist, discriminatory and hold no statistical or scientific merit.

Gingrich goes further in his generalizations and biases that women are unfit for combat, because they cannot remain in a ditch…

Military Women have been breaking their backs in the military for hundreds of years, and yet we still do not learn this in a classroom setting. Whether it is in nursing, nurturing, or on the bloody fields of U.S. soil during the Civil War, women have been a tremendous help in the success of the military. There are many tests that state that women are not strong enough to survive in war, but some beg to differ. Women should have complete equality in the military, meaning there should be no laws…

there’s an issue with women fighting in combat. Women shouldn’t be able to fight in combat due to their physical differences, rape, pregnancy, and attrition rate.

A poll taken by USA Today states that “Forty-four percent of Americans believe that women should not be assigned to infantry units” (Attitudes Toward Women in Combat).

that means more than another. Any constitutional right given to man should be allowed the same for women. Iron Jawed Angels, greatly depict a moment in history that allowed just that. The suffering and fight put up by the NWP showed the intelligence and courage that women possess. In the beginning of this movie, there is no doubt that they were going to go in there with all their might and bring about justice and equality for women.

Even though The military feels that putting women in serious combat positions endangers the women as well as their fellow male soldiers because of a man's natural instinct to defend a woman in danger and because they feel women don't have the physical and mental capacity to endure the same kind of experience, I believe since women are allowed to serve in the Armed Forces they should be allowed access to ALL available opportunities in which to serve. Women are given the same opportunities as men to…

slaves fight on both sides of the war? Yes. At first, the Confederacy forced slaves to do menial work at the front lines of the war, but the slaves frequently escaped and provided the Union with information.

On the Union side, black soldiers were not forced to fight, but volunteered to fight, because they believed in the cause. 5- What were women's roles on both sides of the Civil War? Most feminists, but not all women, were…

world. Only children should be allowed to use these words.” De Vigny believes that heroes and monsters are simply childish terms and nothing more. He argues that these words originated from our childhood to describe fantasy. The terms can be used to refine a variety of different things such as people or ideas. The French poet suggests heroes and monsters cease to exist in the modern-day world, but epic poems, such as Beowulf, provide examples that model valiant men and women on Earth today.…
