Happy International Women's Day

For generations and generations there has been conflict over the duties of women. Since the beginning of time society and the media has portrayed women as passive individuals. In today’s society not much has changed there are plenty of people (men and women), who feel a woman’s place is in the home. This is just one of the many value assumptions that people think women duties are.In modern society, there are many opportunities open to women that have been traditionally represented closed doors to them historically. For example, many women run companies, hold elected office, are the primary bread-winner in their households, and many other facets of modern society that were not possible a hundred years ago. Further, from morality and ethics to war and peace, we are beginning to understand that women very often exhibit perspectives that are not only different or offer an option to traditional male thinking but they are very often superior. Women throughout history have represented the true nurturing and socializing force of nature, while men have been basically responsible for 2000 years of warfare and destruction
