When the men in the work place make sexual advances towards Clare or degrade women and each other nothing seems out of the ordinary in fact it seems natural for such masculine based behaviors to be presented. However, when anyone, male or female, shows signs of any female oriented ideal or emotion they are immediately condoned for it and made to feel ashamed. For instance, when Mary begins to cry her boss cracks a joke about women not being able to hold their water. This statement devalues the emotion presented making it appear to be a sign of weakness that only women are capable of and ultimately feeds back into the patriarchy mentality of the dominance of the men over the submissive female. This sense of empowerment given to men in the work force again delivers them the benefit of feeling safe with their ‘authoritative’ actions and behaviors making them feel more at ease within GameaVision.
Based upon the scenario the employee was discriminated against because of her sex that lead to her being sexually harassed on a daily basis from her male coworkers and male authority figure in the workplace. She experienced public humiliation within the company from her picture being openly displayed; which by the way puts her supervisor in the position to be held liable for allowing such behavior to take place. A red flag should have went up when the supervisor seen the screensaver; which he had to have seen in passing or whatever. Based on the information given in the
Women’s History Student Name HIS204 – American History Since 1865 Instructor Date Women’s History Women have fought for many years to gain rights and the ability to be treated as man’s equal. Women have earned the right to vote and work outside the home in jobs that were classically men’s work. Women earned the right to serve their country during wartime. However, women must work harder to prove that they are worthy of being treated as an equal. Women have made great advances in civil rights since 1865, but they still have a long way to go to be treated as man’s equal.
In a way, Harwood is using Eisenbart as a representation of the all the stereotypical men of this time, and to the women readers, this foreshadows the events that are coming, of Eisenbart's – and hence the men’s – demise, as women rise to the level of men. In lines 3-6, Harwood talks about how Eisenbart was persuaded to still come and join the event, perhaps because he grew frustrated with the many “dry scholastic jokes”. Eisenbart agreed with “indifference”, still keeping his pride within him, and somehow downgrading women, as if they are beings who are not worth his time. Yet Harwood humorously says he “grace[d] their humble platform” in line 6, directly making Eisenbart seem much more
Due to his mother’s stern moral beliefs, he does not have much interest in sexual relations and has negative views on it. The third problem is Dunstan’s fear of being manipulated in a relationship because, of his mothers firm control over his father. Thus due to the hostile childhood his mother creates, Dunstan can never form a successful relationship in adulthood and this leads to a life of loneliness. Having trust is a major aspect in keeping a continuous relationship. Being trustful though, is a characteristic Dunstan Ramsay lacks and this results in weakened relationships.
He later says how "I was not enthusiastic about his visit.... A blind man in my house was not something I looked forward to” (100). Upon the arrival of his wife’s friend, the husband is ultimately uncomfortable around Robert because he does not know how to communicate with or act around him. His discomfort is revealed when Robert and his wife were sharing their experiences “about the major things that had come to pass for them in the past ten years” (100). He felt it was necessary to join in because he thought Robert would “think [he] left the room and didn’t want [his wife] to think [he] was feeling left out” (103). It is obvious the husband is overly involved with Robert’s handicap and fails to see him as a person with his
“As a result of this attitude, wives seldom worked at outside jobs,” Benner stated (Benner pg.1). Some women tried to have a job out of rebelliousness or some just desperately needed a job because their husband could not maintain a well enough paying job. Women weren’t sought out to be the type person who would get a job and provide for the family. The man of the house was supposed to do that. That was the norm, the norm was that the man of the house was the one who was to protect his family, provide for his family, and be there for his family.
I usually have my boyfriend do all the talking because I am easily embarrassed. People are prone to seeing certain things and expect certain behaviors while they’re in public. Being different is always looked at with a raised eyebrow. In the poem, “Much Madness in Divinest Sense” by Emily Dickinson reveals her thoughts about how people are in society. This related to my folkway because there are so much expectation from people and how society is.
