1st attempt

After reading " A Doll's House", I've got this strong sense that it was play arguing for the equality of men and women. In the modern day, people always talk about the inequality of men and women in the work force, but I quite don't understand what they mean other than the trend that men are often promoted and paid more then their women counterparts, put couldn't that just be explained by the greater number of men in the work force? Then you hear about the women in third world countries. When I think about those women, I think that is more a circumstantial thing, that there forced into traditional roles because it is what they need to do to survive. I realize that " A Doll's House" was written back in a time when women had to fight for an education and work opportunities, but in this modern day, how is it still applicable to me in the modern day North Shore? Ofcourse I turned to the answerer of all questions, the mighty google, and just typed in "women's suffrage in the twenty first century" to see what I could stumble upon.

I found an article, " Feminism and Women's Suffrage in the 21st Century" on associatedcontent.com. The author S.Rodriguez was a good writer, but after reading it twice, all I could get out of it was that feminism in a modern sense is a desire to be considered equal to men, and that means to be as well educated and considered as smart as men and that the real revolutionary idea is that its fighting what society dictates for women.
I guess that is similar to Nora, the female lead in "A Doll's House", who left her husband Helmer in order to explore the world, find happiness, and not live what she felt was a lie.
But then I looked back on Rodriguez's article.
I am confused as to the point she is now making.

"But didn't we, like, settle that issue like, a long time ago?" About 90 years ago, yes. That being said, women's suffrage is still being brought into question. Shocking, right? John Derbyshire of the National Review found it perfectly reasonable. He recently released the book "We Are Doomed: Reclaiming Conservative Pessimism," containing a section called "The Case Against Female Suffrage." In an interview, he agreed that the U.S. would be a better country if women could not vote, and stated that while he acknowledges it's "a hope I do not realistically nurse,"* he hopes female suffrage will someday be repealed."

To me that says "Women have all their rights, and they are only questioned by crazies." 
I understand that women still face more adversity in the work force and social life than men, but I am having a hard time relating Nora's story to the current status of women. Instead, I feel the story of ADH is more representitive of abusive or opressive marriages. I think my next blog will probably end up being on opressive relationships and divorce or similar subjects.
