Quote 1 “What’s really incomprehensible, she adds, are middle-class or wealthy working mothers in the United States. These women, she says, could tighten their belts, stay at home, spend all their time with their children. Instead, they devote most of their waking hours and energy to careers, with little left for the children. Why, she asks, with disbelief on her face, would anyone do that?”(Prologue xi).”…
A lot of people have the mentality of “you are only as old as you feel;” for most young men, this statement is very true. American author, Kay S. Hymowitz wrote, “Where Have the Good Men Gone,” and she argues that most men in their 20s, are stuck in a “pre-adulthood” state. They are at the in-between stage of being an adolescent young boy to being a responsible, self-reliant adult man. The Hymowitz article is effective because she uses strong statistical evidence and examples.…
In America the woman in the 1970,s were almost never respected and always limited from being a mother at home as well as their workplace. Woman never had a chance from the start.

Woman devoted most of their time taking of the kids and spent around 55 hours a week cleaning the house and whatever else she needed to do within the household.…
In contrast to the more liberated 1940s, the 1950s brought a return to traditional women’s roles. Different from the 1920s through the 1940s, less women graduated high school than men in the 1950s, and more men were still graduating college than women. This did not bring great success for women’s opportunities. In fact, the total amount of women’s participation in the labor force was 50% of that of men’s. After the war, when the men returned, the birth rate, in the United States, increased significantly.…

The Gilded Age was a period between the 1860’s and the 1900’s characterized by social and economic change and defined as the period amongst the Civil War and World War I. During this time, America saw a rise in industrialization, a growth in technology and advancement in economic opportunities. At the same time, it should be noted that there was a lot of social and political corruption in America as well. During the Gilded Age we see a rise in the economic elite (the one percenters). The Gilded age was a time of inequality typically focused on the gap between the poor and the well off. However, the Gilded Age should also be noted for the inequalities between men and women.…

According to Dictionary.com, parenting is defined as, “the methods and techniques used or required in the rearing of children”, but many people define it differentially throughout the years. Over the course of time, parenting has changed in multiple ways such as the following: work has become more demanding, discipline has weakened and new developments in technology have changed the activities that kids do to entertain themselves In the 1960s, females were beginning to be seen doing some work outside of the house. While females were working, the men did not help take care of the house or take care of their kids. This caused females to have to do more work to support their family financially and physically (“Family”).…
When someone says they are a feminist, people often think they hate men when in reality they do not. Many people who identify as a feminist do have anger and some hate towards men, however, that is not what true feminism stands for. Feminism is not about empowering women and putting men down, or turning a patriarchal society into a matriarchal one; it is about advocating for women’s rights to be equal to men. Even though it seems that a woman’s role in society has changed, it has not. In the 1960s when the women’s liberation movement began, the expectation was that a woman was a mother and took care of the home.…
Many men are busy working very long hours to support themselves. Women, now playing a larger role in the work force, they too are working long hours. Men are no longer as necessary as they were back when divorce rates were as low as they were in the 1950s.
