In the 60's women were screaming and fighting for equal rights because, as women, we wanted to be equal to men. We wanted the same rights and to be treated fairly like men would be treated. We wanted to do more and be more. We did not want to be slaves in the kitchen designed to wait on the man hand and foot. We wanted to do something else and be someone and to be listened to, not shunned away because of our sex. Back in those days, women were not to be heard and if they did say something, they were not to be listened to. Their jobs were to clean the house and take care of the family, nothing else because they thought women knew nothing and were inferior.

In those days, men ruled over women because that was how it was, and they did it all the time. Women were to pick up after them and any other men that came into their home. Women had to make three healthy meals a day for them and they expected to have it when they got home for work. It had to be warm because if it was not, the men would get mad for not doing their job of keeping them happy. As women, we wanted so much more than this. We just wanted to be heard by the world and to be taken seriously when we spoke or when we did something to make the world a better place. We were not trying to take anything away from anyone. We just wanted to be acknowledged. We wanted equal pay and for the most part, we got it.

Women are no different then men because we can do anything a man can. I am not saying we are better than them, merely that we are the same. We are as strong as a man and as smart as a man, and that is why we wanted to be treated the same as a man. Now it's all water under the bridge because we got what we wanted, and men don't care if we bring home a check and work for it. Nowadays it takes two people to support a family, but imagine what it would be like if only men could work? Some men don't like their women working because of the way they were raised, but they cope with it.
