Answer:

One of the causes of women's issues is the myth that women are biologically inferior to men. This myth has led to years and years of oppression from men to women: not letting women vote, having to stay home and therefore not letting women work, and also men believing they can do whatever they want with women just because they are "better".

Steinem explains how women survived specific tragedies better than men and how women live longer than men, which proves women aren't inferior. However, she doesn't want to repeat what men did: "I don't want to prove the superiority of one sex to another. That would only be repeating a male mistake."

Explanation:

To complete this exercise, you have to read Gloria Steinem's testimony before the Senate hearings on the  Equal Rights Amendment in 1970. In her testimony, she explains the myths that led to the oppression of women and she also relates it with the oppression of black people, and specifically black women.

One of the problems for women, presented by Steinem, is the belief that women are inferior to men for biological, physical, intellectual, and psychological reasons.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Steinem shows how wrong beliefs hold women, made them seen as inferior to men.
  • This belief in female inferiority meant that women had suppressed rights, did not have quality education, and were doomed to the domestic environment, even if this was not their will.
  • Steinem shows how this is incorrect in showing that women remain rational in adverse situations, resist disasters, take care of managing a home and take better care of their health, being able to live for more years, which proves that they are not lower.

With this, we can see that Gloria Steinem was determined to show how women had a lot of potentials and should be taken seriously.
