In adition to women of color in general just simply being overlooked as stated by Castaneda, I feel like it can also be said that the history of all women around the world is different. For lots of women around the world the "natural" part of the nature vs. social argument still applies very much. As touched upon by Haulman under her defenition of "women", you can't just take all women and have just ONE big women's history because their histories and levels of experiences are all different.- Emely Amaya | In adition to women of color in general just simply being overlooked as stated by Castaneda, I feel like it can also be said that the history of all women around the world is different.

| + | I think Julie and Amanda both make great points about "women's work". While reading, I couldn't help but sing the '''"Can a woman fly an airplane? Yes she can, yes she can!"''' song to myself. The whole song is meant to inspire and encourage young girls to do whatever work they want to do when they grow up regardless of whether that work has been seen primarily as "man's work" in the past or present. The song fails to promote work that is seen as primarily "women's work" as an equally empowering, or acceptable, or noble job. The song should say, "Can a woman be a mother, yes she can", or "Can a woman be a teacher, yes she can." And that brings up another point as far as equality goes. Today, because women do fly planes, are doctors, and even do run nations (still not ours as much): what about the prejudice against men who take on roles that have traditionally been roles held by been? There should be a new song that says, '''"Can a man stay home with children? Yes he can, yes he can! | ||

| + | Can a man dance in ballet, can he iron shirts, or play | ||
