Women

My topic for the research paper is women. This topic is interesting because I have to go through the advantages and consequences of being a woman. Over the past years, I have learned about the determination of women to be considered equal to men. Even though we are supposed to be treated the same, are we actually? There's always a silent prejudice against women in the government, sports, and even in every day jobs. Just recently there was an episode of Desperate Housewives that showed one of the main characters, Lynette, being fired from her job because she kept her pregnancy a secret. Had she voiced her pregnancy, the company would have let her go due to the money a company loses with a pregnant worker. Although the company is legally not allowed to fire a woman for being pregnant, they always try to find the loop holes. Women face disadvantages every day, but I find the power women have had in the past to be inspirational.
