Women play the role of mother. sister. daughter. and more. However, no matter what role they play, women are people that should have the right to participate in society just as much as men. After all, in 2011, women made up 50.8% of the American population according to CDC numbers. Imagine a country having an entire army of 100,000 trained and able soldiers but the army only allows 50,000, or about half, to engage in a battle and do their duty as a soldier. Similar to this, only allowing half of your population to vote, work, get an education and do their duty as an American citizen doesn't make sense, does it?
