Declaration of Rights of a Man & Declaration of Rights of a Woman
I believe there’s a lot of the used in this because Since there was one of these made for men then there was one that was created for women and there lie the sexism of our nation.

Ain't I a Woman.

I would think that everyone would agree but apparently, that's still not true to this day. No matter how hard we fight for it. -
Rosa Parks
Rosa Parks is often considered the first woman of the civil rights movement. However, on this timeline, you can see that's not exactly true. Parks is most known for her act on the bus for not getting up and moving when she was asked to move.

Becasue there were women back then who would not want black women to have rights only white women which contradicts everything they fought for. -

She went through things many women have gone through but should have never gone through. She spoke out about the sexual abuse from Harvey Weinstein and how she has grown from it.

Me Too is a Movement not a Moment
This TED talk was about how people have shaped and warped the #MeToo movement. We need to be better, to be looking out for our people, and how this isn't normal but it has become normal for women and men and everyone else to be a victim of certain events. It's crazy how it's become normal. The author of this TED talk was also trying for a very long time to figure out how to say this to make the entire world not just this audience jump up for action because at this point this is ridiculous. -

The Fight for Women’s Rights is a Fight Against Authoritarianism
This article is a summary of the women's rights movement in 2022. This article speaks about the struggle for women's rights, and abortion laws being mandated and regulated by men without the consideration of what a woman goes through.

Barbie
The Barbie monologue was a very powerful part of the new Barbie movie It was made very prominent on purpose because they wanted to make aware the struggles of everyday women. What we are told to wear and told to put up with, told to eat, told when to smile, told how to speak, and deal with certain issues and be able to figure out everything and don't complain because if you do complain then you are considered unfit for a role or position of power. Every audience viewing this got to witness it.
