Throughout this short story, despite it being very subtle, male dominance is present. We observe how the male in this story is trying to convince the women named Jig to go…
The markers of male status in “Hold You Down” depict the predominantly hierarchic and authoritarian degree of male dominance through wealth and control.

However, many of these realms of the decline of men were not topics of this course. We did discuss gender and education, and I would argue that Rosin is right about the end of men in education, as women have surpassed men at almost all levels. The statistics are striking. Women earn almost 60% of all bachelors degrees, and masters…

As Bizer, Hart, and Jekogian (2011) found, groups with lower status…
Chaucer, he employs the idea of gender norms to present a maistrie where the Arveragus is dominate over Dorigen in their relationship. Chaucer entails this dominance over Dorigen when Arvegaus is described that “he wrought for his lady before she was won.” The fact that Chaucer describes Dorigen as being “won over” by Arvegaus denotes the dominance he has over her.
