Who Are They? November 26, 2007

Who chooses that pink is associated with women?  Who decided ties are to be worn by men?  Who said women need to be homemakers?  Who gave men the okay to control and dominate women?  I guess if we knew who ‘they’ were, we wouldn’t call them ‘they.’  But, really, I think it is everyone.  Anyone who has witnessed the inequalities and stereotypical situations throughout their life and did nothing.  Didn’t voice thier disgust, didn’t plea with justice, just set on the sidelines of a slowly losing game.  We are the ones responsible for maintining and not gaining.  To undo this reactive chain of events, we need to break the links that weaken equalty and replace them with respect and oppurtunity.
