Continuous Discrimination
The constraint of women in society has been a long and never-ending battle. They have struggled to make a living and have an independent self due to society's restrictions and expectations. Such issues are evident in Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own when Woolf comments on the extravagant and conversation filled luncheons of men and the simple, quiet manner of the women. For a long time in history women were expected to be obedient individuals that simply acted as property, not even their own person and this expectation is shown in this instance as even when they are among women they do not feel the right to have intelligent conversation or treat themselves to grand foods. This is a significant thought because it proves that restrictions such as these are capable of changing and influencing society for a very long time. Even today there are numerous individuals who are stuck in these times where women were not treated as equals and it disgusts me to think that people still enforce and spread such ideals. This is obvious in the endless comments made among the media about women and their inferiority which our society indulges in every day. I strongly believe that until these jokes and comments are stopped, our society will never truly have an equal sense of men and women.
