The Second Woman

the likeliness of receiving this wonderful lifestyle after buying their product? The likeliness doesn’t exist. If anything, the only thing that’ll happen will be getting a flatter wallet. Although it my look ridiculous, sexy adventures sell. In a Michael Kors ad for women’s fragrance found in Cosmopolitan, a magazine targeted at young women, shows a beautiful woman and a handsome man running through a body of water with their arm around each other, dressed in formal wear. We can also see that the man pulling a boat behind him possibly to the beach, following desire. This plays into “men act and women appear.” He’s doing an action while she is there to look good. We can see her hair blowing completely to the side while his clothes and hair are pretty much still laying flat. “Let Desire Lead the way” is the statement on this advertisement. The woman appears to be slightly more in front of the man, suggesting that she’s the desire because of the perfume she is wearing. Maybe her…

war only men were able to fight while women were to stay home and perform household work. This suggests that a woman isn’t capable of doing the work of a man, and sets a domain to what a woman believes her role is in life. Even though women hold positions in the military and work force today, the two sexes still aren’t known as completely equal. A woman makes seventy-seven cents for every dollar a man makes, for equal work, and a woman is still known as the “weaker” to a man. Everyone…

The government was founded by men, and made for men. This is true for much government run functions. Simone De Beauvoir points it out early on in The Second Sex. “The whole of feminine history has been man-made” (Beauvoir). It is no secret that women were not made out to be as powerful as men from the beginning of civilization till the twentieth century. Contemporary Women’s Issues Database includes many factual articles that stress women and gender rights. “The omission of women from the…

Following McIntosh's work, unpack your knapsack. The privileges that I take for granted daily is being a woman and being Hispanic. Here in the US, there are so many Spanish people, that a lot of job sites are now looking for a Spanish speaking individual. I would say that Spanish is the 2nd important language to know besides the 1st, which is English. I take being Hispanic has a privilege because a lot of people take classes to learn how to speak it, but I was given that advantage and was born…

This led to no constitution being made in order to do this. The second implication is that the government is not accountable.

This example connects into the third implication. The third implication is that the government is ineffective. The fourth and fifth implications connect into each other. The forth…

Simone de Beauvoir has endured many experiences in her life, stemming from her works of writing and applying it to feminism and societal changes. The works of Beauvoir have reached the outermost parts of the world and have become feminist writing pillars for generations to come. Evidently, Beauvoir has become an inspiration for many women and philosophers in the establishment. Simone writes of her regular beliefs of existentialism, as well as the philosophy of women, exclusively spoken about…

Benjamin Franklin writes to a young man in a personal letter his reasons why he should choose an older woman as his mistress, rather than a younger one. There may be some formal indications written in there, “You call this a paradox, and demand my reasons.” (Benjamin Franklin) There is an informal tone in this sentence, a politeness. During the time of Benjamin Franklin’s letter, the American Dialect would have sounded more closely to a British accent, since it they were in British colonies.…

education by introducing at least one foreign language besides their national or native language at a young age. This is widespread and many countries view fluency in upwards of one language a necessity to function more properly in society. For example, when I was touring New York City with my family, my mother and I ran into a French couple on the ferry ride to Ellis Island that spoke French, English, and Spanish. The woman explained to me that it is required of children in France…
