Okay here is the final presentation (I am going to put it onto note cards this way) I stole some of your stuff cuz it sounded cool. Does I have your permission to use it?
Introduction
In some of the essays we had recently some students said that the male gender was better then the female gender. While most of this was based on the physical abilities of men, one in particular said that men were better in pretty much all aspects of life.
I am here to prove that belief wrong.
Because unlike that common belief in many societies, the truth is our genders are equal. I will explain why in four main subjects, leadership, mentality, biblical roles, and physical abilities.
Physically
It is true, men are physically advanced in strength. But it is also true that women are physically advanced in stability and endurance.
Women are better at surviving then men are. The live longer, and the survive more numerously in dangerous and stressful situations.
Males have a 50% more chance of being still born.
Exactly 94,232 more boys than girls were born in the U.S. during 2004
But, there are still 144,513,361 females of all ages, compared to 138,396,524 males.
More males are born, but more females survive.
Females live on average 4 to 5 years longer then males.
Mentality
In 2007 the average GPA for females graduating high school to enter college was 3.52 and for males it was 3.4. This is not to say that women are smarter then men, it is to say that women are just as capable as men to do well in school.
Many people believe that men are stronger because they internalize their problems. They keep professional and just 'ignore' their issues. But the truth is they're letting stress and other issues they have to deal with bottle up, and at some point they are doomed to explode.
While women externalize their issues. They talk to friends, and release stress. It is because of that, and also our lowered iron levels, that women live longer then men, and often have a healthier and calmer mental state.
Biblically
How many times have you heard the term "seed" as in man's seed referring to "planting your seed"? Well it was thought that the man created life with his "seed" and that women were only the incubators of man's seed. It wasn't until the 1700's that we actually learned that women have an equal role in the creation of life. But before that time, it was thought that men did all the work of creating life, women were nothing more than incubators of their children. This is why men are not suppose to spill their seed (masturbate) in some religions. It was thought that they were killing viable babies.
Also, you will sometimes read in the bible or other holy texts that women are below men, but this is probably not the case. You see, it isn't god that sees us lower, it is the man who typed up his bible's own prejudice. Men took advantage of women, as we were much busier bearing children 4'000 years ago then we are now. They made themselves higher biblically as well as politically, so they could have more power. But putting yourself above someone doesn't make you better then them.
Leadership
It is biased to say anyone is incapable of leadership. To say a female can't do it, is the same as saying an African American can't do it.
Women have proved themselves capable of leadership in society
The FFA is the largest adolescent organization in the world, and since females were allowed in in 1969, the percentage of female membership increased to 50% while the amount of females in leadership increased to over 70%.
Currently, 12 FORTUNE 500 companies are run by women, and a total of 24 FORTUNE 1000 companies have women in the top job.
The 33rd ranked fortune 500 company is run by a women CEO.
No women don't own the majority of these companies, but this proves that they are CAPABLE of it.
Conclusion
The roles are set because of physical makeup, not because of better or lesser. Man is the protector because he's bigger and physically stronger. Woman was given the awesome responsibility of bearing and rearing the children. How can that possibly be viewed as a lesser role?
Is it more important to have someone who provides for your family or to have someone who creates your family? The truth is they are the EQUAL. Without one, you can't have the other.
The roles are different. They balance each other. They are interdependent. One is in no way greater or lesser than the other. We aren't the same, but we are equal.
