Some Things Change Some Stay the Same

Although humanity has indeed come far in the 200+ years since Mary Wollstonecraft wrote her controversial work "A Vindication on the Rights of Woman" there are some things that have not changed much since then. While her arguments for equal rights for women in the political and social perspectives have indeed come to fruition, her ideas on women being viewed as sex symbols have made little change. While a woman still has the right to vote, hold office, own a business, have personal possessions that are hers and hers alone, she is still dressed in a style which makes her curves stand out and makes her more attractive to the eyes of men. Women seem to be just as influenced by the social idea of being sex symbols today as they were back then. This really comes as no surprise though as any radical change in this area would bring about what seems like a social class of cross-dressers and women who downright disdain the idea of appearing as that sex symbol which attracts men. Not to sound cold and calculating but the idea of women being a sex symbol is a major reason for attraction and procreation, the key to our future. So while many things have changed and certainly for the better, some things will likely remain the same.
