Nine hours earlier her boss Mr. Livid had called her into his office to compliment her. Filigree gave him a large smile and nodded politely. It is no secret that Mr. Livid believes a woman’s place is in the home. He is of the opinion that women should not be heads of governments, or run international companies or even part of the earth 's workforce. If he has his way every woman would be barefoot in the kitchen and pregnant or tending to younglings while catering to their husbands every …show more content…
Livid gave Filigree the property on 19 First Avenue Mont Lambaste in February 2015 when the last of his staid star real estate agents had failed to close on the million-dollar property and secure the commission. Now, the Gibb’s house had been previously under contract. Four times to be exact, but the transactions failed and the property had returned to the market. Each closing was the same the prospective buyers would opt out at the signing with nominal justification. Mr. Livid top four brokers were eloquent, incisive and experienced with several landmark sales throughout the years, and had gradually gained Filigree father’s respect.

    Women’s roles in professional settings are very controversial. Should they be at home with their family, should they be working, or should they do both? In “Lean In: What Would You Do If You Weren’t Afraid?” by Sheryl Sandberg, “Why Women Still Can’t Have It All” by Anne-Marie Slaughter, and “Why men still can’t have it all” by Richard Dormant they all show us their differing opinions on whether women can truly “have it all”, whether women are treated equal to men in the work world, and whether men should play a greater role at home so their wives can work a fulfilling job without having to take on all the responsibility at home.…

The clear disparity caused issues for women because their growth in society was extremely limited. Pat Mainardi in her essay “ The Politics of Housework,” tackles the gender misconceptions that dominate her society. Mainardi criticizes her menial status to explain why the patriarchal system continues, she states “ man’s accomplishments have always depended on getting help from other people, mostly women “ (Mainardi 734).

    This would have been an acceptable problem had the issue been addressed at the time of sale. Instead Hodgkins took the option of hoping that customers would not modify their condominiums much and would settle for the original designs. This was a curious choice for Hodgkins to have made because the target market for the condominiums was that of relatively wealthy couples who would either be looking for a second home, or to move back to the city and live in relative comfort. This segment of the market is traditionally extremely particular about details and so would be expected to make changes to the condominium in order that it is exactly as desired. This was an oversight on Hodgkins’ behalf that put the general contractor in a difficult position with regards to schedules and budgets.…
