I am a woman and for being one, everything is the same - everything is balanced. For being a woman, I believe in equality - in the right of any individual to be whatever he/she wants to be. Ang Pantasya ni Eba is a very interesting article; it entices you to venture out on uncharted seas, to flip the world upside down, to re-examine the structure of our societies and to question the very life we have established as proper. It made me see through the writer's eyes and perhaps her experience the kind of life women are bound to. In the early years, no woman was allowed to study. No woman was allowed to participate as a citizen. She had no right, no place in politics. She was believed to be weak - physically and mentally. She dependent on the man - for a woman cannot support herself. But - she goes around town wearing all the riches her husband bestowed upon her, but her mind is empty, her heart lost, the problem is she does not know it - and even if she does, such feeling of emptiness is not understood - she does not recognize it. Life for a woman is never easy. And men do not see this. They think women are sheltered from all the "terror" and "darkness in this world. They think women have not the slightest idea of sacrifice, of pain, of loss, of betrayal. But the truth is, women go through these everyday of their lives. When men go to war, women are left with a little chance of survival. The society does not accept them as workers, so undeniably they get no higher jobs than to serve as maids, or worst as prostitutes. They cannot simply give up - join the war -die, because they have to go on for their children. They know pain when their children are sold off to slavery. They know betrayal when their own families sell them off to marriages. They know loss when their own identities are forced to die in order to conform in the society. That is why I declare that I do like the article. It foretells a story of women as the head - the leaders, but it seems in this instance, there is no difference between having a man and/or a woman as the dictator. The women in this story are no women but men. Everything we women in the real world fight against, we possess in the story. We have become our enemy. Feminists are NOT against men - not against their sex BUT against the values and beliefs that our society has taught them and us women. In the story the women here were more callous, more stupid, more arrogant. Aren't these what we hate about men? I think I get the idea that the writer wants people to see what women feel when they are restricted, treated as second class citizens but the implication that everything MOST women do in the real world is unfulfilling and worthless is very unacceptable. And on children, she apparently places no value on them - she considered boys as "helpers", girls - a "continuing line" for production (birth). The women here are not real women. A woman knows how to be a mother to both boys and girls. She is justice for them. She is a lifetime teacher for everyone. Here, she was but another human being drowned in power - suffocated by the perfume of supremacy. Let me explain this, I consider men weak when they shout and lose control over themselves. I pity men who act like they know everything and are close-minded to new ideas because it shows how deep their fear is when they feel their perfect world is threatened by ALIEN notions. I did not like article because it was not ideal. We have come a long way. Equality is almost within our reach. I have no desire whatsoever of another form of domination. Even from women. I am a woman - I am mother to all - I believe in equality. Bibliography: Word Count: 712
