Girls, girls! I amend you for rolling your eyes and taking what seems to be a ‘disrespectful’ stance towards men who think they can control your lives. Men who believe that they are your king, your lord, your governor. These petty men who find it unattractive for us powerful women to speak our mind are simply not worth our precious time. We should be married to men who loves us and support our beliefs, not men who find it humorous to bring them crashing down. We were taught that women own her loyalty to men like a servant to his king. This garbage! This nonsense! You believe that we are seen as nothing but mere servants? To treat some man as a king when they have no right to bark orders to their wives, expecting us to obediently obey. I am

    Gender And Stereotypes

    Negative attitudes and stereotypes are a part of society; they become bigger issues when these thoughts and beliefs turn into actions, such as discrimination and aggression.

    In a society many people have different expectations for girls and boys, from weight to intelligence. Perspective three states, “As a whole, parents hold different standards for their kids based on gender, but it's not done consciously”. Society just has the assumption that girls need to be skinny because they are girls, and that guys should be smart because they are boys.

    With their husbands home, the hierarchy of power will be reestablish, which demonstrates the women’s wish to maintain their statuses as women, which is intrinsically less valued than men. By exercising their sexual power to control the men, they are able to manipulate them in order to comply to their requests: peace. Yet, the women do not seek peace for the values of peace, such as tranquility, security, and well-being.

    A Contemporary Commentary On The Sexes Rhetorical Analysis

    Through the provided text it is apparent that while women felt they had control of their spouse’s, it is really all an act put on by the men, and in fact, women had no power over them. The document titled “ A Contemporary Commentary on the Sexes” is taken from a time in history when the effects of the reformation were setting in, and people were setting into their position in society.

    Ana Iracheta Jonathan T. Jones Composition 1301 September 29, 2017 Dysfunctional Relationships If we were to look throughout history, we would see many examples in which men have been dominant over woman. Whether it be in marriage, politics, business or religion men have typically been the superior gender in various ways like neglecting women and making them feel less valuable by their actions.

    Arthurian Legend Vs The Wife's Tale

    When I compared two stories, “The Wife’s of Bath’s Tale” and Arthurian legend, I found the similarity of both stories that a man’s life is at the risk and a man has to answer one question. Both stories have the same question that what women really want. Crimes that made by the knights brought the similar punishment. The main characters in the stories search out the answer of the question and both find out a person (old hag) who knows the answer. Furthermore, the answer of this question is that women desire sovereignty over their husbands.…
