What is the dignity of women in our society?
96967
A woman has and always will be a person, a human beeing. Not a posetion, not an object, not a question of who's better debates.. \n\nBut I do have to agree a woman does have one of the most awsome jobs in this world. I'd never wish my child away though at the same time I don't belive it was my duty. I did it out of love..and i'm a house wife out of love for both my husband and daughter. This is what makes us happy, they need me here. \n\nThere was no religious ideas forceing me to become what I am, nobody told me to do it, and it wasn't exspected of me one way or another. And most important I am still free to do as I see fit, to go after the things I want.\n\nThis right here is what some loose focus on when we get into debates on females. We loose track of the fact that the woman if given her rights will freely fall into her own place when she is ready. No matter where that place is.\n\nIt shouldn't be out of demand, nor should it be because she was forced. \n\nI'm a proud mother and wife becuse I WANT to be.\n\nThere is a small sample of dignity for you..

I think in the end, life evens things out. If they are nice people, ultimately they will be rewarded and will find happiness. Treat women with respect becaues they deserve it. They are the foundation and they bring life. They also introduce happiness into some of those dark places in the world.

O.k. some of the guys possibly reading this are not likely to like my answer, but, here goes.\nI believe that women are most definitely "equal to" men in every single way, (except when it comes to physical strength, and that's a general statement)- and superior to (or more "evolved", if you prefer), in other ways. (That is the part men aren't going to like to hear!)\nAnthropological studies have thus far traced the existence of "man" back to a an AFRICAN WOMAN. Women were also the first to learn to "communicate" with one another (referring to humans in general). Women have highly developed social skills right down to this day, and, in my opinion, have developed many skills critical to survival that men just haven't developed much of at all. (They haven't had to. Women have been taking care of them since human beings first appeared on earth!)\nWe, as women, bring forth new life onto this planet- (sure, with the sperm donation of men)- but it's the women who generally care for and raise and teach and nurture these new lives. We don't get half the credit we deserve for our abilities and our intellect, but that is where a big fault with women does apply- because we are generally not motivated by our egos, we have allowed ourselves to take this "back seat" in society, figuring we could profit in other ways- or keep the peace (which is also very important to us). However, now we live in a "man's world", and don't seem to have woke up to the fact that it is just as much our own doing- our own "fault"- as it is men's. It's time for change. It's time for women to band together and be heard. We are not a "minority" in number, and in this country (because we live in a democratic society)- we have the opportunity TO BE HEARD and our "votes to count"- but not enough women seem to care. That needs to change. We will continue to hold this place in society until we (as a whole) accept nothing less than what we deserve, and that is respect- but it begins first with ourselves. \n\nWe need to learn to respect ourselves. If we do not, how can we expect anyone else to do so, and who else then do we have to blame?

Finally a man who appreciates the hard working woman.  It's just in our nature to get things done.  Women are the complement of men and the backbone of families and that means not resting until everything is in its place.

There are still women in the world that don't have rights .That are pasted up for a job because a guy would rather hire another guy.Because we have to  stay at home with the kids.Because society wants us to kiss butt.If we speak out we're PMS wielding maniacs.......

Chivalry seems to be a thing of the past.  It went away with equal rights for women, but some men, myself included, still treat the "fairer sex" with the respect and dignity they deserve.

The answer from a citizen of the world would be "my country does" and it would be coming from a hypocrite since no country gives the proper respect and value women deserve.  Women are the heart of the family and community etc, etc, but let's be frank, even in this great country of the US of A,  women are so far away from getting the same respect and value men get. Let us consider these simple facts:  Politics: any women president/vicepresident in the 230 years of America's 'fair' and 'equal' system?.... Of the 100 senators, how many women? (14, in case you wonder, that's not good enough!)  Jobs: who gets better salaries doing the same thing?  Socially: who is expected to do more and get little or no credit?  (it's obvious, women do at home, they always do more, sadly they  get less)... \n\nI am a citizen of Mexico and I can say that in none of our Latin American countries men give women their proper place in society. Women are natural leaders, yet we fail to provide them the resources and opportunities.  Octavio Paz, a Nobel Laureate, once said, in Mexico a woman "is an image of both fecundity and death. In almost every culture the goddesses of creation are also goddesses of destruction. Woman is a living symbol of the strangeness of the universe and its radical heterogeneity. As such, does she bide life within herself, or death? What does she think? Or does she think? Does she truly have feelings? Is she the same as we are?" and, ( apologize for writing this in Spanish)" "La mujer es una fiera domestica, lujuriosa y pecadora de nacimiento, a quien hay que someter con el palo y conducir con el freno de la religion"  Basically he said that women are domesticated beasts who are full of lust and sinners since birth and religion should help us control them..."  Strong, isn't it?  \n Yes, I must say it, religion is a tool that helps keep women in a place much more inferior than men... This is not a domestic nor personal issue but a worldwide one.  The time is now to continue making changes at every level to finally admit women into the world.

Most of the women that are demanding for doors to be opened for them aren't the ones fighting for equality. Yes, we want to have the right and ability to vote and to go to war if we so wish. We want the right to do all the things men do. That doesn't mean we do want to do these things, we only want the chance. Women are still fragile and want to be treated how we once were. At one time women were treated with the utmost respect, honor and love, but, we had no rights. We are only asking that we still be respected but that we have all the oppurtunities and chances for greatness that men do.

I was going to give you a big huge list of our rights, but I would prefer to direct you to a couple links that explain them better than I can, if you could read any of them.\n\nWe have a great ammount of rights, and it is the duty of our men to protect our rights and stand up for us. Not what many "Islamic" countries would lead one to believe these days, but people deviate.\n\nI hope they help you!\n\nEdit: Yes, we get to keep our own earnings to do with whatever the heck we choose, lol. The men are responsible for supporting the family, not the women. We can shop, save, give as gifts, open a business...endless opportunities.

Virtue.\nIt can be hard to find these days, but a virtuous woman's worth is far above jewels.

I dont think both mean out of dignity.\nthe word DIGNITY means some self respect. Ones self respect is lost anything done later on loses its value and effectiveness and no more it can be said to be an act out of ones dignity.\nThis ca apply only to those who are still left with self respect and then they lose their temper and misbehave etc.\nAlso I would like to add that even those who sell their bodies \nare respectable and it is their profession and you cannot misbehave with them too.They too have their DIGNITY and you cant enrage their modesty. They agree to have sex only under certain terms and conditions and with those whom they agree to and at places pof their choice etc . Just because they \nfollow their profession to earn their livelihood their dignity is not lost. I would say it is those who go after those that sell their bodies who have lost their dignity and not those who are selling since they are doing a GREAT SERVICE to the SOCIETY and NATION.\nLike sewage water needs a course for the sewage water to flow in society too those who are sex maniacs and perverts and those who want sex but are not getting it elsewhere or not satisfied with their own legally married wife etc these people who satisfy their urge are doing a service so that bad water doesnot spoil the good water that is bad people do not spoil the good sicety.\nSame way why blame only drug addicts what about those who sell the drugs\nWho is a greater sinner my dear.
