manifesto

If I had to write a manifesto as Mina Loy did I would write about how woman are taking over in the corporate world.

For decades the head position of most major big buisnesses were run by men. It has only been seen in recent years that woman are gaining positions of power in large companies. Woman have not had big roles in leading major businesses because the standard for a woman is to be a stay at home mother. It is normal for a woman to stay home and take care of the “woman tasks” as the man goes out to work and make all the money for his family. A “woman task” is anything domestic that has a reputation of being a woman’s job, for example cleaning the house is a woman’s job that fits the stereotype.

I would write my manifesto to encourage more woman to get out there in the working field. In 2014 we have come a long way from the woman staying at home with the children, but I still believe we have a long way to come. We need to make a larger movement to make a point that woman are here in the corporate world, were here to stay, and we are here to lead the company.

A woman and a man think different and I believe a lot of male run businesses could use a female input that they may not even know about. I would write this manifesto to stress the fact that woman can’t sit back, we have to take charge and strive for what we want. The normal gender roles for male and female have begun to be broken and we have to continue with this pattern.

 

Manifesto – Women not being as dominant as males in the professional world

If I were to write a manifesto about women in our society as Loy does, I would write about women still not being as dominant as males in the professional fields of today. The issue I would like to bring awareness to is why do males still dominate the most esteemed professional fields and still get paid more for their work? It is a fact that women teachers, doctors, lawyers, architects, and engineers are neither met with the same confidence as their male colleagues, nor receive equal remuneration.

I believe that even up to today women are constantly still being underrepresented in many fields, especially in leadership positions. Only 1 out of every 7 engineering students is female, and women account for a pathetic 6 percent of chief executives of the top 100 tech companies. And in terms of salary, it’s well established that women earn an average of 77 cents for every man’s dollar.

Our society is constantly changing and making new improvements. But, never did I think that in 2014 we’d still be having this issue. Why are we as women letting ourselves being taken advantage of? We work just as hard and are dedicated to our careers just as the male population is. We’ve all been through the same struggle and fight to become who we are and where we are today. So why not stand up and change the way we are being looked at. I believe we, as women need to help and embrace each other’s work ethic. It’s extremely bothersome to me that the male population is being admired and acclaimed for the same professions we as women are doing but are still not demanding and getting the same amount of respect for. I think it’s highly disrespectful and also pathetic that we aren’t getting paid as much as them although we still put in the same amount of time and effort as they do.

A Manifesto of OUR Society.

If I were to write a manifesto about woman and our society today. I would write about gender discrimination. Gender discrimination refers to “the practice whereby one sex is given preferential treatment over the others. The practice of giving social importance to the biological differences between men and women is there everywhere. In some societies, these differences are very much pronounced while in others, they are given less importance. If I were to write about this issue in a bold way I might go for the smaller things that people do not really notice.

The first being; We have yet to have a woman president. 49 other countries in the world have. Yet America has not, granted we are currently experiencing our first black president so I am sure one is coming in the future. Why is it hard for us to vote a woman president? Why has only one run so far that has had a decent chance of wining?

The second being this; Haircuts. I was getting a haircut well 2 months ago, but I am sure it has not changed since then. I got my haircut and looked at the price for a mens which was $12 and then I look at the price for a woman and it said $25. I thought thank god I am a guy. Okay so maybe I am a guy and do not know anything about woman but an extra $13 for a haircut? I just feel we should all be entitled to a cheap haircut. Is there that much more supplies / energy / work that goes into it? maybe they could each be $18 or $15? Also this was at a local barber shop, do not get me started on those salons, and the people that pay $200 for a haircut.

Manifesto – Tackling Domestic Violence

In “Feminist Manifesto”, Loy is encouraging women to take charge of their life by taking control and having their own identities that are different from men.  This show us even back then in 1900’s women were fighting for their rights and individuality to have their own identity in society.  When Loy said “The desire for comfortable protection instead of and intelligent curiosity and courage in meeting…”  Loy tells women that they should strive for something other than comfortable protection by men. They should strive for intelligent curiosity and courage.

If I were to write a manifesto about women in our society, the issues I might write about would be the violence against women. By having an understanding of violence in relationships, families and communities is a root cause for violence in our society. We need to change how this problem manifests and magnifies itself in society at large to address the problem at its core.  By changing an individual point of view towards domestic violence, we may achieve a transformation of society overtime.

I am not sure what you mean by writing this issue in a bold way, but since this manifesto will be about my view, motives and intentions I would try to write it in a way that promotes my idea for carrying out changes about domestic violence.
