                                                                 Fight against gender inequality

            The Equal Rights Amendment is a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution designed to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex; it seeks to end the legal distinctions between men and women in terms of divorce, property, employment, and other matters, but in our society do we really have an equal right? In society, many people think of women as the responsibility of being a wife because they should stay at home to take care of children and they don’t have the same power of men because women are weak. For many years men have considered women slaves who were to do housework and take care of the family. Such discrimination led to suffering in gender equality. women have been seemed less educated and weak. In now day there is a lot of movies trying to help decrease gender inequality by showing the different side of women. In the movie, Black Pattern has shown me that woman can be strong as a man, women are not like what people think of who only have a pretty face but, instead, women are someone who can protect their country and they can be smart as a man who can invent a lot of high-level technology. In now day a lot of people think everyone is equal however the battle for gender equality is still not yet won. This topic is important to the world by telling our society that we should do more to help women gain their equal right as men, in order to create a society with an equal right to everyone.

             Even knows most of the people in the country think everyone is born with an equal right but does the man really seen women as equal as them self? Not only men but do the women think they are just equal to the men? In reality, women are still fighting for their gender inequality. For example,in the In the article “Don’t no woman have to do nothing she doesn’t want to do”: Gender, Activism, and the Illinois Black Panther Party state that“Since the advent of Black power, the Black male has exerted a more prominent leadership role in our struggle for justice in this country. He sees the system for what it really is for the most part, but where he rejects its values and mores on many issues, when it comes to women, he seems to take his guidelines from the pages of the Ladies’ Home Journal.”this quote shows that when black male was fighting about their equality and their freedom they don’t allow women to come out and help them to fight together. They think women should stay at home. In the article, it also states that “Women added their voices to debates over the meaning of their structural and organizational participation. Although they participated in the broad range of Panther political activities, the party created a separate category of membership for women, called the “Pantherettes,” with its own all-female leadership structure. “ This is very important because it shows how women help in fight their freedom just like a man. This quote helps to argue against the last quote where men think women should only stay home being a housewife but women themselves have profit men are wrong by showing their power of gaining their own right. The same thing in the movie, black panther want Nakia to marry him and be his queen, but what Nakia really want to do is to protect her own country. In the movie, Nakia plays a role basically who keeps Black Panther safe. Nakia also performs solo missions where she spies on other organizations and then reports back to Wakandan headquarters. another example from my own experience my mom had always told me that in her mind my brother is always equal she is not helping anyone but, she always expecting me to help my brother clean his room, wash his cloth and help him to buy breakfast. I always ask her why should I do this for him but not himself, but she replied that because you are a girl and he is a boy. This makes me feel very unequal because to me it unfair. All of this shows that it is not true that everyone is equal.

            Many people think in the society we have the equal opportunity but that is not true according to the global issue it states that  “Although the world is making progress in achieving gender parity in education, girls still make up a higher percentage of out-of-school children than boys. Approximately one-quarter of girls in the developing world do not attend school. Typically, families with limited means who cannot afford costs such as school fees, uniforms, and supplies for all of their children will prioritize education for their sons. Families may also rely on girls’ labor for household chores, carrying water, and childcare, leaving limited time for schooling. ”This shows Although the world now advocates equal treatment, boys are always the first choice whenever they need to make choices. In the another article“ being a woman in turkey” also state that“ woman is one of the essential keystones of social and economic development, both as a mother who will play a significant role in the growth of the future generations, and also as an essential part of the labor market that will add value to economic development. Therefore, the significance of women in economic development is worth examining. ”This quote shows we should give women more chance because they might develop a better economic.all of This help me think of My friend she had told me a lot of time that she doesn’t like her grandmother because whenever she wants to eat something her grandmother always yells at her not because that food is not healthy but because her brother didn’t come back yet he has to eat it first. In a lot family, they think men are someone who can succeed and is someone who can help them have a better life, not women. This is not correct because women can be very powerful and success same as men. In the movie black panther it introduces a character call Shuri, she is  16 years old, she is the person who develops all Wiakanda technology. Wright speaks of her character as being ambitious for Wakanda because she wants to take her country to the next level with the aid of her unbridled passion for her work. This character in the movie help to show people that women can be very smart and powerful.Another reason why her character is very important because Her role is quite impactful because her character is a young, a very smart black girl who can now go on to inspire countless other little girls who see Shuri on screen.
