Male Dominated Society
The definition of a Male dominated society is “ A society that benefits men in the law's, education, government and day to day life.”. I believe that the United States was very male dominated in the earlier stages of our country. Women were expected to clean, make food, and raise the kids. While the men work the farm, go into politics, be in the military, and run businesses. Today women can do everything men can if they want to. Women have equal rights, more opportunities to succeed into today’s society, and benefits. Women did have to fight for these rights throughout history but our society is not male dominated any more. There are 22 women CEOs in fortune 500 companies. That back in the early times of the United States like the 1700-1800s was never heard of. Women were not allowed to run companies and men wouldn’t want to work for a women because back then men thought that wasn’t their place. Women started to work in the 1860’s, while the men were in the civil war and during the industrial revolution. That’s when the jobs had to be filled because the men were gone.Today if you want a job you are very likely to run into a female boss/employer and we now respect that, the times have changed. In 1777, all states passed a law that took away women’s right to vote and in 1870 the 15th amendment was passed the said in the text the women were not allowed to vote. Then in 1920’s women were given the right to vote by the 19th amendment stating any U.S citizen no matter what sex is allowed to vote. This shows that after countless protests and trials that society is willing to change. I know some men probably weren’t happy when the 19th amendment was passed but society grew to embrace it. Now, it’s no surprise seeing women vote or even in office, senate, and the house. Who knows maybe our next president could be a female, coming from a country that didn’t even allow them to vote. In the 1960s to this day, females have had a huge movement in the United States. This
