The Age of Female Dominance Audience preface: I chose my audience to be young women, because they are the ones who this really affects. They have their lives ahead of them and they should know what the future may be like for them. I wrote trying to keep in mind that they might not all be intelligent, so I tried to simplify some parts without losing content. The nuclear family, where the man is the bread-winner while the woman stays at home with the kids has become nearly non-existent. Author Hanna Rosin in her article “The End of Men” writes about the rise of women and how quickly it’s becoming a matriarchal society.
A Call for Help The National Bestseller Half the Sky is an eye-opening, stirring book written by Nicolas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. It tells the stories of many courageous and remarkable women all over the world who suffer from injustice, brutal treatment, and struggle in hopes of a better tomorrow. The authors are researchers who travel and gather facts about the way women are being treated in different parts of the world. They put those stories and statistics into one book in hopes that the world will realize these problems will not be taken care of on their own. The authors started off strong by catching the reader’s attention with the story of Srey Rath, a brave young Cambodian girl who was captured and forced into prostitution
She is the iconic womanly figure of what woman strive to be and she embodies the vision of earthly love. Modern day marketing companies use her name on products, in an effort to project an air of seduction, beauty and allure. In relation to Landau’s book, I personally asked plenty of my male friends for statistical research off course, asking what they think the best feature of a woman is. Not surprisingly, most men stated that one of the best features of a woman are

Assignment #2: Feminist political theory in America Poli 344: American Political Thought Bruce Baum March 28, 2013 By: Nadine Burgess Feminist political theorists like Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Betty Friedan experienced and analyzed very different eras in political feminism than the one that exists today. Despite contextualizing and directly addressing the cultural, social, and political issues women faced in their day, aspects of their ideas continue to be relevant in the 21st century. Gilman’s analyzed the economic dependence of women on their male counterparts and proposed solid reforms to spur a change in culture about how tasks in the home are completed. She touches on the balancing act women face when it comes to motherhood and other aspects of human life, a struggle women still face today. Friedan brings emotion and anger to the plight of women in her era of feminism, highlighting a political issue that remained out of the spotlight for far too long.
Have Feminist Achieved Equality? A strong topic throughout our readings is the notion that we have achieved equality as we’ve entered the 21st century. With discrimination laws in place and women suffrage being a large feat for the women’s movement, it’s believed by pop culture that feminism is obsolete and unnecessary. We can recognize through history that the women’s movement is ever changing. While we have made great strides in the direction of equality and intersectionality, there is still a more improvements to our society that women continue to fight for daily.
War on Women Kristin Inkley Communication 3525 University of Missouri In the past 50 years or so, women have made huge advances in creating gender equality. There are more women than men in the United States (Howden & Meyer, 2011, Page 2) and yet men are still known as superior. The 2012 presidential election is coming up and issues are beginning to arise about the Republican Party and their “War on Women”. There are roughly ten issues at hand that republicans are proposing that seem to attack women’s rights (Stop the War on Women, What’s at Stake, 2012, Para.1). In order to better understand the conflict, this paper will analyze the conflict explaining the background, the parties involved and the issues that are causes this feud.
It is letting women take the chance to fight for the country in a time of crisis just like men. Mrs. Quindlen is valid in stating that it makes a “mockery” of the nation to only let men register and not women. It is degrading of women to say that because they are women that they are not required registering for the draft to help in a crisis. A poll done about ten years ago showed that over half of the American population supported drafting women. Should America only lose its sons in battle?
Lobarbio, Bernadette M. October 9, 2012 2010-02534 Prof. Mikee Inton Comm 140 TWX Integration Paper Women Power? A Critical Discourse Analysis on Survivor: One World “Everybody was like, ‘Women power,’ which I’m not a big fan of but I’m going with it.” This was the strong statement of Survivor: One World winner Kim Spradlin when she knew that the tribes for the season were divided by gender. If the gender divide of tribes was interesting enough, another breakthrough of this specific season is the fact that this was the first season having a final five of the same gender – the all-female final five. After more than twenty seasons, this season as the twenty-fourth, it is worthy of note to analyze how this phenomenon came about and what factors contributed to this outcome. There were very few substantial reviews about this specific season of Survivor, so I decided to base my analysis solely on the episodes shown on television specifically the performance of certain castaways.
