I found an article, “Harassment, Tower of London and Beefeaters,” on MSN that was from the Post Chronicle in London. This was about the first woman to ever be allowed into the Beefeaters. Her name is Yeoman Warder Moira Cameron. She was harassed by three men. Two male warders have been suspended and one other is being investigated. She said that they defaced her, bullied her, and left notes in her locker that were of an unpleasant nature. What this woman has gone through is wrong. No woman should have to prove that she is worthy of a job that men are “supposed” to hold. Women are just as good if not better than most men at their jobs. Why is it that men feel so threatened when a woman is hired into a position that they feel is not worthy enough for them? I think that it is because they think that the woman will out do them and make them look bad. What this woman has done is great. She has proven that she is worthy enough to be in the same category as men. When I look at certain jobs and the gender that is held by certain positions I see a pattern. I went to my bank the other day and noticed that all of the tellers were women and all of the “upper management” people were men. That is a perfect example of how women are still viewed as the “nobody” because they aren’t men. I couldn’t work in a place where women are constantly shown as the weaker sex. They are still investigating Cameron’s case, so I hope that she gets the justice that she deserves.
