How come women are treated differently from men all the time? Not only handicapped people, but women - and handicapped women, forget it!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Women are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently.
A woman is handicapped by her sex, and handicaps society, either by slavishly copying the pattern of man's advance in the professions, or by refusing to compete with man at all.
Men treat men differently than they would a woman.
When I watch 'Mad Men' and I see the patronising attitudes to women that are so shocking for all of us to watch now, I feel that I've lived and see the same evolution in this regard around disability.
Often, the disparities in the ways men and women are treated are subtle; there are not these clear barriers that you have to break down.
It's undeniable that what we are taught as a culture to believe about disability is at odds with traditional notions of masculinity.
I grew up in a time when many people believed that men and women should not always be treated equally.
Women are obviously much more discriminated against than men in many ways.
We are still living with a double standard. I know it. Every woman I know knows it, whether you're in the media as a woman, or you're in the professions or business or politics.
Women are completely disadvantaged - despite what men will say. It is not a fair fight.
