Female philosophy

Introduction

Females are faced with fundamental and general problems concerning their knowledge, value, mind reason and existence. It involves rational questioning, critical discussions and their presentations to big ideas. Generally, the female gender has been considered to be the weaker sex. This has resulted in various problems that are evident. There are few prominent females in top most position and powerful positions worldwide. It has created the notion that for any female to be successful there must have been a helping hand. This has resulted to favors being made to them including advances so that they can get what they aspire. This has led to a high number of females feeling inferior and incapable of achieving what they want. In this paper, I will argue that Young Successfully defends her argument about the feminine bodily comportment because it is clearly that women are not working for their full potential therefore, we should change some of the behaviors such as how women represented in the movies or the language used with baby girls in order for women to work for their full potential.

All along when growing up it is evident to say the tone used in address a girl child is different to that used to a male one. Girls are considered sensitive and hence the need to approach them in a cautious manner. A woman’s body undergoes hormonal and physiological changes. This is when the body is subjected to puberty menstruation and pregnancy. (Young, 143). Due to this they experience mood swing and little or less work is what they can be able to do. This creates the impression that woman’s physiological and anatomy is the least to determine the unfree status.

There are differences that exist in the development of the female. This may cause some slow bodily movement which may hinder full utilization of the female potential. It may be true but given the same chance, there is a possibility of realizing their full potential. Will can be achieved if the sexual being of the female is not put in a test but rather their capability. (Young, 143)

 

In sports females are deemed to be more reluctant than their male counterparts. This is not true if it is argued on the basis where women have become successful in sports. In a game preparation, it is shown that that the girl do not articulate with force or speed while the male counterparts show aggressiveness, force, and speed (Young, 141). Considering the females who have made it successful in sports it is slightly true since the records held by men are barely broken by females.

It is true to say that men are more masculine which is evident in the vigor that they portray in the games. Female energy may not match its male counterpart energy bit this does not mean that females do not do their best when it comes to that. It is culturally accepted that females cannot match male’s performance. However when appealing to such difference it should not be based on nominalism. There is a remarkable difference between the two but this should not form any ground for female underestimation (Young, 142).

It is debatable to say that women are perceived as if they do not utilize their full potential as it is expected. This is evident because they are judged by their feminine body. For instant in acting industries, there are roles only assigned to the opposite gender since they are supposed to be masculine and only the males can deliver the act. This is because the female body tends to be partially immobile hence they cannot be assigned to such roles (Young, 153). This role requires vigor and energy in order to perform them. This makes it difficult to give them such roles. The only option left is to give them more feminine roles to act. Due to this action movies have been dominated by the males.

 

It is a failure to judge female capability by their physical looks. This is because a group of them are left out to compete for favors other than their own capability. This results in such areas being overlooked as male dominated industries hence reducing competition. This clearly shows that the female gender is not been given the chance to explore their talents and capabilities due to the fact they are seen to be so. This results to the demoralization of the females hence they tend to put less effort in whatever they since they are subjected to physical judgment. This is because they develop timidity with age with the notion that they should not get dirt, hurt and they should always act like a girl (Young, 154)

 

Conclusion

It is true to say that socially the female gender is considered inferior. This is because they are subjected to roles that are lighter and less energy is needed to perform them. This is mental and can be changed if the girl child is given an equal chance as the male counterpart. Female physic should not be used to judge the capability of any female.
