Further to this, it would also depend on at which point in the play we are making our judgement. For example, Katherina may be offending against her society’s expectations about women at the start of Taming of the Shrew, but does not necessarily do this towards the end of the play. It could be argued that in Much Ado about Nothing and The Taming of the Shrew, Shakespeare presents Beatrice and Katherina as offending against their society’s expectations of women – the expectation that women should be submissive and act somewhat inferior to the male members of society; this also includes the view that women should not be outspoken. One of the only female characters who speak in the first scene of Much Ado is Beatrice, which portrays her to the audience as an outspoken character, and in this way she would be offending against her society’s expectations of women. Beatrice is a woman who openly defies both the courtly and bourgeois traditions of this time, ‘No, uncle, I’ll none: Adam’s sons are my brethren; and, truly, I hold it a sin to match in my kindred’, (II i, 431-55) in this speech to Leonato, Beatrice explains why
the right to marry. "argues the fact that the Bible was wrong on these issues and now is a equality of all social. Equal rights as the writer's view. This leads to an attack on Margret pointing out if we applied this logic, we would still have slavery. She uses of the fact that attacks on Margret and her uses this fact to make the reader agree with her arguments.
Although some perspectives on the subject claim women live in bad faith and put themselves in situations to be defined as a body part, if there was no routine of male’s looking or the notion to dominate and females attention starvation or feelings to please, there would be no need for a dominant and submissive relationship. Overall it seems woman will be in a constant battle overcoming their gender because it’s society and that’s just how it works. Whether it’s right or wrong, at the end of the day, if nothing drastic is done for change, then it is what it is and people will conform to
These examples just shows how confusing it is in identifying sexual harassment today. How would you answer Limbaugh’s points if you were arguing for the opposition to each of the two points you have selected? For the first point, I would argue that women should not have so much power over men because men were created as the head and as such women should respect their authority. For the second point, I would say that sexual harassment should be limited to only sexual behaviors that are forced unto women and not be based on a man trying to win a woman over by his advances. Sexual harrassment refers to sexual actions.
Antigone, crazy as she might be, was sticking up for the people that are ruled unjustly by a leader who becomes corrupt with power. This statement is especially true for women. “And so, we must stand up for law and order, not let ourselves be bested by a woman. If yield we must then let us yield to a man.” (Sophocles Line 660). Creon said himself that if it were a man that he would’ve yielded but because it was a woman he could not do
I did expect this book to be like an argument where she would explain her side and then she would argue the points that the other point of view would have, but this seemed very one-sided. Valenti presented many facts in her book and some very good points, many of which prove that today, women are judged, not on their personality but the status of their virginity, whether or not she is still a virgin. I agree with this quote in particular: "For the record: I think virginity is fine, just as I think having sex is fine. I don't really care what women do sexually, and neither should you. In fact, that's the point.
Adoption is an excellent choice for women who choose to carry their pregnancy full term. Women have the right to choose whether or not they want to go through with pregnancy. Relying on abortion as a form of birth control is not right but how can we tell women how to use their rights? In many cases such as rape or in women who cannot healthily carry a pregnancy abortion is a healthier alternative. In rape cases women who decide to go through the pregnancy suffer severe psychological and emotional disturbances towards themselves and the child.
Whereas, Pamela Paul’s essay contains information provided solely by her, which can be seen as bias to some readers. The reader may see Pamela Paul as an over protective mother, this will then undermine her valid points on the potential carcinogens in
Evening Things Out Affirmative action in the eyes of some can be considered to be the compromise for reparations. To others it can be looked at as an opportunity for women to be looked at as equals in comparison to their male colleagues. But those who don’t fall into either of those categories look at affirmative action as reverse discrimination or racism. There is an argument that there is truth in all of those statements, but it is more prevalent in the first two than the latter. Minorities were never given the appropriate chance they deserve, and women still can’t get the respect they deserve in the workplace.
However, given the fact that she is a female may be somewhat of a constraint. Females, generally speaking, are more nurturing and don’t really share that ‘tough love’ practice that males do. This may be a reason why she would not want to penalize the obese and smokers. Pressey would love to see a positive change for these people and would like to motivate them to do so. On the other hand, some people feel that this topic should not even exist as it is too intrusive into an employee’s personal life.
