Questioning of Femininity

The “ Ain't I a Woman” article brought to life the stereotypes of what it means to be feminine.  My opinion of the article was that femininity is the fault for women not having rights.  There was a quote from the article that states “If God had desired the equality of woman.  He would have given some token of His will through the birth, life and death of the Savior.”  This quote is basing the idea of that creation of sin by the women “Eve” is the fault for God not granting women rights.  I disagree with this statement because it is not fair to base the events of creation off of the sins of Eve.   Women are not respected or granted rights because of the stereotypes that are placed upon them.  In her speech, she asks the question “ ain't I a woman?”  She asks this question because to most men, she was not a woman because she was an “amazon” and “un-feminine.”  She believed that women do deserve rights and equality no matter how they exude femininity.  She also said that people are wicked in their opinion of women and I agree with this statement.  This statement is true because most people cannot get past the stereotypes of how women are and how they should be.  It bothers me that most people do not fully respect women because we have to work twice as hard as men and we barely are succeeding.  I hope that things will begin to change but right now in the workforce for women, the statistics are against us.
