Women have always been considered "sub-par" compared to men. During Slavery women were in the field picking cotton alongside their male counterparts. Yet, during the Great Migration women were back at the bottom of the totem pole. Some of my classmates stated that women are still in this below zero position , and personally I believe that women have more power than we are aware of.
I believe that women are born with the gift of persuasion. Once we are out the womb we know how to phrase things to get what we want and sometimes need. Women know how to say things with such fines and eloquence that men don't have the ability to do. My father always tells me that "women think with their emotions and men think with logic". Which is why women can easily get what they need. The ability to speak how you feel in such an emotional way so that you get what you need is one that most men, don't have the brain capacity to accomplish.
This gift that our gender has been blessed with is often not used because of the negative connotations that come with it. These connotations include 'jezebel', 'loose', and 'gold digger'. When often it is only women getting what they deserve. If a man persuades his boss to give him a raise it isn't a problem. If a women does it then she's greedy and is sleeping with the boss. Why can't the women be hardworking and be getting paid below their rightful salary?
Women should use the power of persuasion not to sleep their way to the top, but to get what they're trying to deny us of it.
