On balance, Feminism is not needed in the US anymore.

I will be arguing that On Balance, Feminism is not needed in the US anymore. I will provide examples on how the USA has surpassed the everybody in women rights, and how there are numerous examples of equality today. Note(100 years ago, people would not dare say women always beat men in arguments. Now, it is a general fact. ) Terms: Balance- condition in which different elements are equal or in the correct proportions(In this case, America does have discrimination, but I will be arguing that the equality outweighs the inequality. ) Needed-1. require (something) because it is essential or very important: Powered by Oxford Dictionaries Feminism- Feminism is a range of movements and ideologies that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve equal political, economic, cultural, personal, and social rights for women. This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment. A feminist advocates or supports the rights and equality of women. Source-My opponent We will examine each quality that is essential to equality for women in this debate. Political Equality-First of all, women have a say in America. . http://www.archives.gov... It clearly states that the United States of America cannot discriminate against a voter because of their sex. Now, I shall note how many female Governors there have been. A governor is a huge position of power in the United States of America. This should not be taken lightly. Female Governors: Gina Raimondo-Rhode Island Kate Brown-Oregon Maggie Hasson-New Hampshire Mary Fallin-Oklahoma Nikki Haley-South Carolina Susana Martinez-New Mexico Nellie Tayloe Ross-Wyoming Miriam A. Ferguson-Texas Lurleen Wallace-Alabama Ella T. Grasso-Coonecticut Dixy Lee Ray-Washington Vesta M. Roy-New Hampshire Martha Layne Collins-Kentucky Madeleine M. Kunin-Vermont Kay A. Orr-Nebraska Rose Perica Mofford-Arizonaasas Joan Finney-Kansas Ann Richards-Texas Barbara Roberts-Oregon Christine Todd Whitman-New Jersey Jane Dee Hull-Arizona Nancy P- Hollister-Ohio Jane Swift-Massachusetts Judy Martz-Montana Ruth Ann Minner-Delaware Linda Lingle-Hawaii Olene Walker-Utah Jennifer Graholm-Michigan Janet Napolitano-Arizona Kathleen Sebelius-Kansas Kathleen Blanco-Lousiana M. Jodi REll-Connecticut Christine Gregoire-Washington Sarah Palin-Alaska Beverly Purdue-North Carolina Jan Brewer-Arizona . https://en.wikipedia.org... Before, I move on to the next argument, I want to stress that this is a very significant point. A governor is a very powerful position that many sexists 100 years ago would probably never think a woman would never hold. The idea that this has happened means that women have achieved political equality. Women are able to hold political offices, and benefit the rights of women as a result. Not only is this important in the local level, but also in the senate. There are 20 female senators which also serves a very powerful instrument for women rights. Economic Equality- I have heard the same tired argument from feminists claiming that women get paid less than men. I hope in this debate, I can at least clarify once and fore all that this is a myth. 1. Men are far more likely to choose careers that are more dangerous, so they naturally pay more. In the top ten most dangerous jobs(from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics), they are all male dominated jobs. As a result males will get paid more. 2. Males are for more likely to work in higher paying jobs-According to the White House Report, 7% of female professionals were employed in high paying computer fields, while 38% of males have gotten professional jobs. Females are also most likely to be in low-paying education and health care jobs. 3. Men work longer hours than women-Men work 6 hours per week, or 15percent longer than the average fulltime working women. 4. Men are more likely to pursue high-stress and higher-paid areas. 5. "Women business owners make less than half of what male business owners make, which, since they have no boss, means it's independent of discrimination. The reason for the disparity, according to a Rochester Institute of Technology study, is that money is the primary motivator for 76% of men versus only 29% of women. Women place a higher premium on shorter work weeks, proximity to home, fulfillment, autonomy, and safety, according to Nemko" . http://www.cbsnews.com... I believe that I have gave solid cases on political equality and economic equality, but there is still cultural and social equality. The arguments that I will be making the next portion of this case is purely analytical. It would be laughable to leave a source, because I am expecting anyone with a life would know of this. Cultural and Social Equality: We expect that equality is realistic, and can happen. We saw this with the Civil Rights Movement, but there are still movements like Black Lives Matter. Why can't the common man just stop holding grudges against other races and the opposite gender of himself? Most people(Fox News) assume that racism is a thing of the past, while others think that there needs to be a radical movement(Internet) to cement equality into everyone's minds. I offer an alternative answer(not solution) to this problem which involves empirical evidence that most people have seen with there own eyes. We have all seen the kid that wears glasses. Some of us have seen that kid bullied in public schools, or others have seen him geek out in front of your own eyes. Either way, people have a general assumption about people that wear glasses. You must be either smart, weird, bullied, or innocent. I am assuming that people usually have this assumption. When one is an adult, they will probably think more on the lines of smart. Either way, these are assumptions about what kind of personality people with glasses have. Now, just imagine if that kid was an athletic superstar who was destined to go to the NFL. This could be probable, but highly unlikely. I will equate this to feminism. People have general assumptions about what each individual is just by taking one look. We have all done it, and it is nothing to be ashamed of. But, feminists think it is wrong, because no-one should have the assumption that a female is inferior. They should have the assumption that they are equal to us males. Well, here is the problem with that. You are never going to change someone's subconscious thinking. But, you can change what someone thinks consciously. That is why the war on women rights has been won. Social rules apply to people. At colleges where Political Correctness is reality, no one will dare say anything racist, because they know of the humiliating consequences of saying something like that. But, a PC person could just as easily look at a Chinese guy, and ask for help on his homework. The PC person did not ask anyone else, because in his experience Chinese people are usually really smart. Feminism has been successful in creating a world where is socially unacceptable to call a gender inferior. In a professional life, nobody would say do not hire her because that gender is inferior. Females are never going to hear that in there professional lives. The backlash is also very humiliating if someone ever says(discount Donald Trump) anything that hints at saying females are inferior. If a politician accidently says that, his carrier is done for. It is because of the circumstances, Americans are in that prohibits us from saying mean racist and sexist things. Here are the three reasons why this is the case. 1. Consequences of saying something like this is humiliating. 2. Females usually dominate the Teacher field making children have sub-conscious thoughts of female intelligence. 3. There are movies and TV shows dedicated to making one feel guilty about judging women. But, you cannot stop what humans think sub-consciously. . http://www.theguardian.com... A good source for this is actually a study conducted about what happens in the subconscious part of your mind. "Researchers engineered a situation in which female participants heard a male experimenter make a sexist remark; some were then given the opportunity to call him out on it. Eric Horowitz explains the scenario:In each experiment, female participants first rated their beliefs about the importance of confronting prejudice and then engaged in a "Deserted Island" task with a confederate. The task involved selecting from an existing set of people those who would be most helpful on a deserted island. The confederate " chose all males until his final selection, when he justified his choice of a female with a sexist remark ("She"s pretty hot. I think we need more women on the island to keep the men satisfied. ")Those who had the chance to challenge this remark, but didn't do so, rated the experimenter as less sexist " and challenging sexism as less important " than the others. Which would seem to be a case of cognitive dissonance in action: when you're confronted by prejudice and you don't object to it, your own attitudes shift in a more prejudiced direction, to maintain consistency between your behaviour and your beliefs. " This gives you clear evidence of how my viewpoint is empirically proven. If Con is still dissatisfied, I will give more clear evidence and examples in the next round. That is why I affirm that Feminism is not needed anymore. Feminism has already solved the economic and political problems in America. I have proven that there is nothing to do when it comes to social and cultural equality. We have already created social rules that regulate what we say and our conscious thinking. We do not however control subconscious thinking.
