Living happily ever after is dreamed by everyone. On the other side, it is
very difficult for some women to find for their happiness. It is caused by the
women’s submission that effect to the sufferings to themselves.
Nowadays, women are merely regarded as the second class. They are
absolutely weak, passive and mindless, as described in the western fairytales
(Cinderella, Snow White and Rapunzel). These women get the sufferings but they
are actionless women. They do not take an active part in creating and determining
their own lives and their own futures. They merely wait for the handsome princes
to save and make their lives meaningful.
The women’s submission make lower of women’s status, and birth to the
sufferings to themselves. Meanwhile, these conditions pose men as heroes.
Women need to be respected as others. And in order to be the honorable
women in the world, they should fight for the righteousness and be able to rebel
the violence and also reject the ideas about women, which says that women are
mindless, weepy, passive and helpless creatures.
