I think one major societal problem of this age, and the previous ages is the way society views women. Though women have come a long way throughout the century, there are still stereotyping, a pay cut, and a general "rule" of how women should act. There have become many movements to spark a change, but have they really worked? There have been many instances where women have prominently stood out, rebelled, and it worked. These include Susan B. Anthony, Rosa Parks, Mother Teresa, Eleanor Roosevelt, Malala Yousafzai, Michelle Obama, Sophia Bush, and many more. After so many years of women not having the rights that they deserve, it is hard to push for a complete change. There have not only been good changes with this, though. From the perspective of a teenage girl in the 21st century, I constantly hear, women jokes, women remarks, and I see the complications of it. I have even seen a Twitter account mainly directed towards “meninists.” It completely mocks the feminist view, and turns it into a complete joke. I think that it is constantly becoming more and more of a joke to many men (definitely not all!), so much to a point that it may become worse than it started. I think to stop it, what women want the most should be given; to have equality through everything. This would not only mean through the things that would benefit them, but through all things. Women are not trying to become superior, they are trying to become equal, and that is what they are trying to prove.
