Right now in English class we are reading "The Taming of the Shrew" by Shakespeare. Which is a very famous play/book. In the book the character Kate is trying to be "tamed" by the character Petruchio which raises the question. Are men and women fully equal?

I believe that men and women are fully equal but there are some jobs that over the course of history have to suit women better. Many women are a stay at home mom while the husband works for the money which to me, has nothing to do with equality but rather choice. Women are able to do just about everything men do whether it has to do with sports, jobs, politics, etc. Of course the struggle for women and the rights they have has a come a long way over the course of time and there are still countries where women are nowhere near being equal to men but in the U.S. I believe that women are equal.
