Now that the doors of education and opportunities have been opened, women have achieved not only equality but superiority in some areas. The battle was always a battle of the mind. Women have been beat down and programmed that they are inferior but when a girl sees a successful woman, now she knows that she can also be successful and powerful. Each generation builds upon the gains of the previous generation and it becomes like a flood. It starts out like a slow drip, then it becomes a small but steady flow, and over time it becomes a mighty river. Now girls in the United States grow up expecting and demanding equal access to all societal institutions as men, and girls grow up expecting to match and even surpass men. If they tried to segregate women in the United States in 2006 by telling them they had to get a man’s permission to go to school or to see a Doctor or to go to a mall, there would be a riot and men would be there with the women at that riot because men in the United States want women to be liberated.

It was not always like that, in fact you don’t have to go back very far to find a time when a majority of males had a chauvinistic view of women. But no more. The dominant nature of woman is unleashed and the submissive顺从 — willing to obey nature of man is now free to be expressed. These natures now feed off of each other, thus women are becoming more empowered with each generation.
