Reading Response #6

I feel similarly to the way I believe Zora Hurston feels. I do not believe the pigment of skin should have any affect on who a person is or their worth. I think we are all people and we all deserve the same opportunities. As for gender, there are many stereotypes and such, but we are slowly making progress. There is a huge difference in how women in the home were perceived fifty years ago and today. In the mid 1900's, women were primarily home-makers, staying at home, cleaning, and taking care of the children. I don't believe there is anything wrong with staying at home, but I believe women should have the same opportunities as men. Today more women are working full-time and still taking care of their children, while men are working less and helping more with the home.
