Women
A few minutes ago i was watching "True Carribbean Pirates" on the history channel which documented the impact and actions of pirates in the 17th and 18th century. I was looking out for relations to what were learing about and i found one. The pirate society consisted of thousands of pirates, but when two women "enlisted" as pirates, the entire community errupted. Questions of that specific fleet of pirates was questioned based on the fact that merely two out of thousands of pirates were women. They were looked down upon and laughed at for trying to act like the men. Its obvious how this relates and just gives evidence to how the scrutenization of women has always beena around.

Wow that is really interesting. Who knew that pirates were looked down upon just because 2 of them were woman. This is a shallow view that probably changed later when they learned a woman who shoots you with a gun is just as effective as a man who shoots you with a gun.
