By reading women leadership articles, I gained lots of knowledge about the industrial world. The gender biases play a big role in the workplaces. That is why with same qualifications in jobs women is paying 44% less than men. Women are always dominated in the society by men and even the industries focus on women characteristics. Women are supposed to do housework’s than man. Women should be soft-spoken. If a woman points out her opinion and be assertive she would call “bitch” and a man with same traits call bossy. Really? This kind of social, industrial, and cultural views does not make any sense. Why we as women always have to sacrifice for men. Why cannot be it equal? A man always decides whether he will have one child, no child, or seven children’s in his marriage life. A woman always has to sacrifice in her job and at home. If a woman puts makeup and spends times for her business she would call again “bitch”. If she wears short clothes she would call again bitch and the list goes on and on to call “bitch” to a woman in the society. However, men can spend nights outside for business it would call hard worker or ambitious. Men can have three or four girlfriends and can cheat their wife it would be called strong personality. There are so many obstacles as women in the society which we have to deal with our strong opinions and confidence. Whenever something happens wrong against women we should speak about it even though you would think I will not create any change or it will create many problems in my life because it will satisfy your soul and will encourage other women and the male-dominated society will be more careful of what they do with women. After all words have power!

By attending this event I learned lots of important information of pregnancy and contraception such as how to have a safe sex and how to deal with pregnancy. First part of the event the speakers talked about different types of birth control procedures and where to go for help if you need any help or concerns on health issues. Then we did a group task where each group has to put the condoms on a toy penis. This task was to help us know about the perfect way to put and take off the condom. Then she explained, ways of how women should have sex safely. After the discussion, we watched a movie called  “Catching babies.” The movie was very touchy and emotional because it showed how women suffer during pregnancy and how hard is to give a child birth. It also shows how facilities and nurses are helping pregnant women to deal with pregnancy emotionally, physically, and spiritually well and give a safe child birth. The event was really knowledgeable and helpful to my health and others because without knowing these information I would might do something which can be very upsetting for me and others. However, knowing these little important information can save me or others from life-taking hazardous diseases. After all health is wealth and knowing information about health is the key to live life better!

 Pam Fessler was a great speaker and a genuine person. Her speech was about the poverty. She talks about how homelessness and hunger can make people feel so weak in the society. She pointed out a great point that hard work does not prevent you from being poor because many times bad luck can make you poor it does not matter how much you work hard. I totally agree with her because I see many people who work hard even for years and getting low wages and poor life styles. On the other hand, people with good fortune are not doing hard work but getting a good job or succeeding in life. After all life’s circumstances affect people a lot. It is not always true that if you study hard or work hard you will be rich or successful. I like Pam Fessler addressing it to the world by her news reporting profession. She also claims that in today's’ society poverty can identify differently. If someone has i-phone or television in their home it does not mean that they are not poor. We should help people who is homeless and going from a terrible time in their life. We should help them even if they do not want our help. Pam is an women and I am really proud of her incredible work on poverty and leading others’ to help needy people and diminish the poverty; which are obstacles for poor people to not enjoying the life how the middle class people do or specifically who has a home to live and three times to eat and have some laughter in a day. I always had a thought of helping needy people and I did to distribute clothes, foods, or any help they needed but I want to help them by socially making a strong support network for them like Fessler.

     I did not know the definition of transgender and intersex even I did not have any idea that we have so many different factors on gender. Transgender people do not identify themselves to the sex they born with. Intersex people born with a little genitalia which does not describe them as male or female. From the article of Killermann’s “Biological Sex Explored,” I also learned that the doctor can assign intersex babies a sex depending on how ambiguous their genitalia is. I felt sad about knowing these facts because it would be a harder life for people who is transgender and intersex. In our society people do criticize and give disadvantages to people who are transgender and intersex or identify themselves as other genders different from male or female. I can feel their pain but it’s really a serious issue in societies about their rights and acceptance to the social groups. In my country, if someone is gay the family and society will through them to the footpath and people would behave to the gay community as they are from different species and deserve a life with hate which is very wrong. I am not talking about the lesbianism of my country because it’s not sociologically recognized. If someone is lesbian they are not spoking about it or they do not have their own groups and identities to the society like here in America. So the lesbianism is secretive in my country because lesbian women feel shy and afraid to declare about it because there is no governmental support. Our culture does not value the different types of gender rather than male or female. Every people has their own rights and how they want to live and with whom because it’s their perspective to the life and we should respect each gender identity and live with unity and peace.

     Wendy Cai-Lee is a great inspiration for all women around the globe. She is the most famous business women around the world. She was a Rutgers student at Douglass campus which is honorable and to see her giving speech after twenty two years later was a proud moment of her and us. In her speech, the surprising part was that she was a Chinese-immigrant and when she was eleven year old she came to the United States of America. She told about how she was forced to take responsibilities at the age of eleven because her parents did not know how to speak English and she was the only older daughter who can help them on filling up forms and answering calls in English. However, she also included that her secret of success begun from that maturity at that age where she learned how to handle situations and how to deal with people. She described about her father that how he was so conservative and still she is waiting for her fathers’ good comments on her success in the world. She illustrated that in life it’s very important to “get to the table.” That means we should not give up on something by thinking of that we cannot do or how we will do instead we should go there and face it even if we are not prepared. I related to her so much by her family situations and I totally agree about her quotes that “get to the table” because we should not afraid of something which we do not even experience so we should face it and see what happens. Now she is one of my favorite women in the world not just because of her famous status but how she achieved those accomplishments, and her attitude that she is so down to earth which is commendable.
