Blog 6: International Women’s Week

The first thing i learned from those presentation is that women feel inferiors. It is not only a feel but a reality. In many case the people in place of power are a majority of men. They tend to take decision without taking in consideration women. For example law 21, restraining people in place of power from wearing religious symbols. The main group that is target are Muslims women who were the hijab. seeing the political situation, I would say that this law was put because of the Muslim terrorist group (which are the opposite of what Islam teach) and the government what to show that they are against them by targeting Muslim women. Showing that they don’t care about what women think and are only focus on themselves.

I’ve also learned that women know how to stand their ground. Its been more that three decades since the feminist movements started and they accomplish a lot. I didn’t even knew their were a international Women’s day. Which reinforce my incomprehension of why women want to be more like men and why men don’t respect more women. There is a old movie (sadly I don’t remember the name) with a quote that marked: “Yes, the father is the head of the family, but the mother is the neck of which turn the head in the right direction.” It says everything, why would women want to be men when they are already in control. Probably because both gender don’t realize it yet.

The third think I learned was that men (and people in general) are not smart at all. They pollute like crazy, destroy homes, vote laws that doesn’t make sense, and all for their personal gain. The funny part is that the laws that actually make sense, they can’t even respect them. For example the law about indigenous’ right is one of the most logical one in Canada, and it is past over again and again. They also make studies to be sure what they are doing is right, but if the results go against them they just ignore the results.
