The Woman’s Manifesto
Rayna Malik Walters, JD
We lag behind our male counterparts in earning potential despite being equally qualified. We bear the weight of child rearing and familial duties despite working the same work hours as our partners. Recent research shows that 94% of both men and women agree that a double standard exists for the sexuality of women, that is, women should be chaste or as close to virginal as possible. Advertisers perpetuate the ideal that a “good” woman’s job is to clean house, cook meals, take care of her man and run the children to practice and rehearsals.
