The Friday Five

1. Do you think you are treated differently because you are a man or woman?
Yes, I'm patronised, ignored, and called a stupid bitch or hysterical when I disagree with a man or I prove him wrong, especially at work.

2. Do men or women have it easier in our culture? Why do you think so?
I think men have it easier because there are less restrictions on them. They're also less raped, murdered, abused by a spouse. They get better pay, less work hours.

3. Do you think girls are raised differently from boys?  If so, in what ways?
Yes, women are still raised to not go into sciences, not have great careers, to think of keeping a home, getting married, having children, to be less than a man, to be catty with other women instead of supporting each other. All the things that keep them in a certain position in society and make room for men to have all the main roles, even if they don't deserve them.

4. Do you think women should take men's last names when they marry?  Why or why not? No. I think if you don't have children there is no point and if you do have children creating a new last name or hyphening is best to show that parents believe in equality.
