Human men have dominated the home, business, workplace and politics for centuries save for the case where a woman was made Queen. In recent years women have begun to fulfill the roles once only prescribed for men by men. Many believe that the reason women have become more demanding with regards to their place in society is due to education. Such a tactic was used to keep slaves as slaves. Men today still believe that if you are to keep a woman 'barefoot and pregnant', then she must not become educated. A strategy of Men or just the nature of things?

Somewhere in time, "it" was decided by "them" that women were incapable of the same type of intelligence as men. I don't know who "they" were, but undoubtedly "they" had to be men. Not only did other men believe it, but most women believed it as well because that is what they were taught from birth.

This is one of the greatest hoaxes of modern times, which has translated into one of the greatest injustices. Imagine the loss to the world of the potential contributions of generations of intelligent women, lost forever because these women were denied the opportunity to learn, to speak, and to act. There were a few exceptions who shine forth in our past, but these were truly a courageous few who had the temerity to defy tradition and protocol and "society" to fulfill the measure of their creation.

I often wonder how different the world would be if this creative, intelligent, and mostly benevolent force could have had more influence and sway in the course of history?

QUOTE
If you complain of neglect of education in sons, what shall I say with regard to daughters, who every day experience the want of it? With regard to the education of my own children, I find myself soon out of my depth, destitute and deficient in every part of education. I most sincerely wish ... that our new Constitution may be distinguished for encouraging learning and virtue. If we mean to have heroes, statesmen, and philosophers, we should have learned women. -- Abigail Adams

Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern but impossible to enslave.  --  Henry Brougham (1828)

Since most men are physically stronger than most women, ancient peoples must have believed that men therefore must be more intelligent, and they had the brawn to back it up.

But as we know, things were so much different in may ways back then, and as we have evolved and learned from our mistakes, that way of thinking becomes more and more ridiculous.

How many men in the modern world, struggling to make ends meet, truly want their women ignorant and uneducated?

That's the practical side of it, but I also believe that men, on a deeper level, still want to be the protector, the provider. They want their partner to be capable of helping win the bread, but they want to remain the heroes in their women's eyes, and know their lady still needs them.

See, women aren't the only ones who want it all wink.gif

I myself absolutely conform to the idea that some of the jobs men have should be just confined to men, like the Special Operations in the American Army. Now, I will gladly help any woman that can qualify for the job, but until that day happens I'm going to have to believe what I believe.

I agree and disagree with the subject pertaining education, but then again Abraham Lincoln educated himself, no one else did- but technically that is not a complete education. I believe that it is fact that women tend to be less academically thriving than men, maybe it's because we have been in a way oppressed over the years, maybe it's because, unlike men, we have more responsibility with ourselves and our family. Feminists will fervidly dispute this, but they fail to realize that what I say is most likely right. I will agree with the feminist when she/he says all women have the potential to do some of the things that men do (not all, because women have physical disadvantages from the day of their birth), but it is merely we choose not to. Our oppressor may have been men during the past, now, though, it is quite the opposite...we are "oppressing" ourselves by being careless, uninterested, and unambitious- even then I feel not at all oppressed, I feel as free as ever!

So, as a whole, I do not believe women are being held back at all because lack of education. If a woman is not educated, it was fully her choice; if a woman is educated (like me!) then more power to her. Many men are still very obstinately narrow-minded, but also many aren't. We are not being held back by being uneducated and ignorant. If anything it is offensive to think that!
