There are lot of people arguing about if we need to keep pushing feminism to nowadays society. What do you think?
Connecting info: (what information does the reader need to know about the topic to understand your argument? -Why is this argument important? What are the sides of the argument? -Why?)
Some people think we pushed too much on feminism so that men in the society could not get enough attention, others think that there are still many things that we need to do for women to give them a equal environment in this society.
Thesis: (What is your position in the argument?)
Feminism is not absolute power, it is not a concept that we need to always remind ourselves, it should be a normal thought in our deep heart without keep reminding.
Para. 2
Topic sentence: Women are still suffering pain from the society
Supporting details:4. Women are underrepresented in government.
Although women make up nearly 51% of the U.S. population, only 20% of the U.S. Congress is comprised of women, which-fortunately or unfortunately-makes the current Congress one of the most diverse in American history, according to The Washington Post. Worldwide, just 22% of all national parliamentarians were female as of January 2015, according to the U.N.
Para. 3
Topic sentence: women also contributing this society, but they've been treated like they did nothing all the time.
Supporting details:2. Women make 16% less money than their male counterparts.
Although the pay gap is narrowing, women in the U.S. working full- and part-time make 84% of what their male counterparts earn, according to the Pew Research Center. In other words, women need to work an extra 40 days a year to make as much as men. It's an even grimmer picture overseas: Women worldwide make 77% the amount paid to men, according to a report from the United Nation's International Labor Organization.
