How about equality?

Trifles by Susan Glaspell is a one-act play that was performed on August 8, 1916. 1916. If you haven't read it, please go to this link,"Trifles", and do so. 

So if you read it, you know the story it’s about a murder. But even though the main idea it’s about an unsolved murder scene, there is a second topic I would like to discuss; and this is discrimination to women. Since the first scene, we can see how the sheriff, county attorney and neighbor practically ignore the women in the room, when they are talking and reviewing every step of the crime. In this time, women were shadows. Women were expected to know how to cook, clean, get married, have kids, take care of the children, stay home, keep everything in place, and tolerate the arrogance of their husbands. It was like this: if you were born a girl your job was to be a slave to the man you decide to marry. And don't get me wrong, some women like to clean, cook, take care of the house, etc. And that is not a bad thing; the bad thing is when women are obligated to do such things for a stupid society standard. And we can see this in this play.  The men start to make fun of women for commenting on the undone quilt, and asking if she was going to knot it or quilt it; which is ironic because at the end of the play that the answer to that “silly” thing that women are wondering, is metaphorically used as the verdict of the case. What is really unbelievable is that this play was written almost 100 years ago, and as of today, women still have to fight for rights and equality. If you are thinking “But it is better than it was 100 years ago” let me tell you, you are right. But even though it’s better, it’s still a problem in society how women cannot be taken seriously just for GENDER. OKAY, GENDER!!! Not intellectuality, responsibility, punctuality, teamwork; you know, stuff like that, but for THE GENDER THEY WERE BORN WITH. People, its 2015 and we still find it “odd” when a women wants to run for a political campaign, joins the army, it’s in the Supreme Court, CEO of a company, good athlete, etc, etc, etc. And yes, the widow did killed the man, but come on, she was that little bird in a cage, singing, wanting to be free and fly away, and her husband killed everything that made her human. She wanted to be free, to be able to live a life where she was no prisoner, so she chose to kill the bastard who took away her humanity. I’m not saying it was a good strategy, since she got caught and all, and murder is awfully wrong. But the husband had already committed murder, yeah, he killed his wife’s soul. And she wanted it back, so she did what she had to do. I repeat, I am not in favor of murder, but I am in favor of humanity and everyone deserves to be able to be happy and themselves. No matter the race, gender, ethnicity, type of music you listen, etc.; what matters is personality and that we all accept each other’s as we are: people.
