War of the Sexes

Mary Wollstonecraft probably had a solid point in the 1700s. Her essay is a little outdated, but it was well written. She had an awesome vocabulary . Lots of cool words. I kinda want to throw a Richard Dawkins book at her though. A couple Sam Harris books too. I got a little tired reading about God in her essay. When God and morals are talked about together, I get a little angry. I won't get into that though. ANYWAYS, Wollstonecraft wrote the word "slave" in her essay a lot. Women were treated like slaves in a way back then. It's a bummer. I always hate it when women act like they are still treated that way. I here things like that every once in a while. It's not my problem that some guys are complete tools. My favorite is when male athletes rip on female athletes for being "weak" and "not as good as males". (Go McFarland Football!!!! Whoohooo!) I applaud those female athletes. My girlfriend could beat me up if she wanted to. I have no doubt about that. I am a small person. There are girls who are stronger than some guys. There are also some guys who are stronger than some girls. There are girls on the cross country team that could outrun me. Am I outraged because of this? No. They are good. Guys who think they are better than girls are tools. I know this is a strong judgment, but it needed to be said. Take music for example. I love so many female artists. Artists that i try so hard to emulate. Their sound. Not their looks. haha. Examples: Esperanza Spalding, Meg Baird, Karen Dalton, the Carter Family, Anais Mitchell, Klara Soderberg, Joan Baez, etc. I think labeling women as slaves today would be pretty outrageous. In the U.S at least, they have just as many rights as men. (i don't really know if this is true, but it seems that way at least.) This was an interesting reading. She has a very strong point. The essay was strong the whole way through. There will always be a war with the sexes, but who really cares who's better. People are people.
