Argumentative Essay: The Oppression Of Women

1. Men simply don’t have the willpower to behave. 2. Women are the sole reason for their behavior. There is an obvious solution, one that trains men to improve in character and decency while simultaneously protecting women. Total isolation is needed in a situation like this. It is not enough to trust men to be kind, given the prevalence of women in the world, nor is it enough to confine them to their homes where they may pose a threat to their family. No, we must go further than that. Cut off from society and from all other humans is the best method of self preservation that we can utilize considering the extent of this issue. My plan is simple and cost effective. The men will be housed in cement cells and have zero access to other people. A podcast will play from 8 A.M to 10 P.M that talks only of the wrong of street harassment. The same program will play every day, with a different issue combating sexism that will be addressed on Sundays, just to spice things up and give the men something to look forward to. Is it brainwashing? Arguably, yes. But it is beneficial to all? Of course. Food will be delivered three times a day through slots in the walls. It will be home cooked, because this isn’t jail per say, more of a correctional temporary housing. The negative mental effects of this isolation are minimal as it is not intended to be a long term process. However, if certain men need a more rigorous correctional setting, in order to fully comprehend the message of the podcast, that will of course be

All men are perpetrators. You are all guilty of this and you all benefit from this system of public harassment. Likewise, you will all benefit from being in this correctional setting. Some men will learn faster than others, and by all means they will then be permitted to rejoin society. Idealy, this process will only be necessary for the current population of men, as they would then teach this learned positive behavior to their children. If necessary however, should the podcast not do its trick, the process will continue as long as needed.
Of course, there are some women who are guilty of street harassment as well. However, the difference in numbers is so extreme that it doesn’t make sense to hold them in the same sort of facility as a way to alter behavior. Instead, they will be tried in court when issues arise, and punished according to judicial rule.
Really, this is not so outlandish a proposal. Is it so strange that we would would want safety from our greatest threat, while simultaneously educating them? Men are primarily responsible for this infringement on our safety, so in all logic we must simply isolate what endangers us.
The pros to this solution weigh out the cons ten-fold. I would like to encourage the community to think about this as a possible and beneficial solution. Together, I believe we can to what is best for the people of this country.
Sincerely,
