The End of swagger
From generation to generations there has been a conflict over the duties of women. Since the beginning of time, society and media have portrayed women as passive individuals. For years they were treated as slaves, and were mere the objects of sexual pleasure and child-bearing machines. They have never been the cause of resistance for men. But as the time passed the human mentality also changed. Our women are not just women now; they have gone under a massive feminine revolution, which in return has granted them special rights that they can possess in a society. The race among men and women about going "shoulder to shoulder “ has already begun, and now it’s the matter of leadership, meaning whether a woman can lead a county better than a man?. In a famous article the power of women has been beautifully presented. The main idea of the article “The End of Swagger” written by Anna Quindlen is that the United States government will be better off with women replacing men in government. Since all women go through the same biological processes, they can also understand each other better. And when they will be in government, the women’s issues would be solved better compare to when men are in charge.
Ms. Quindlen has supported her argument with different examples. She talks about president Obama who was raised by a hardworking mother. Since he was under the influence of a female, therefore the author confesses that Obama possesses some feminine qualities in his character which are reflected by his attitude. And all these features make him a non-macho president unlike the swaggers before him. Another striking evidence is the Liberian women, who solidly protested to stop country’s civil war and rapes. They were wearing white -shirts and parked themselves on the road leading to president’s house humiliating and infuriating the president
