Throughout the article, she references women and the culture of overwork, completely disregarding the men in society today that are “workaholics” in order to support their families. Because of her feminist beliefs, she takes a primary view of the issue as one the only effects women in this article. There are however a large number of men who become workaholics in order to support a family, where the woman chooses to stay home with the children for example. When Rebick states “women need to make overwork a major public policy issue,” she is being prejudice towards the male population that is also effected by overwork. She only references woman in her advice on how to overcome the issue, therefore leaving out a major demographic in the workforce.
In a professional setting, or when a manager is talking, typically they would use the term ladies. Lengel comes off as very strict and doesn’t really act politely towards the group of girls. “I don’t want to argue with you”. By saying this he shows that he really doesn’t want to hear their side of the story and doesn’t really let them explain why they are dressed in a certain way. It was as if their opinion didn’t matter to Lengel.
And if a woman succumbs to acts adultery, this is seen as a great threat for the Oikos as the women can no longer be seen as honourable or chase, casting doubt on children’s legitimacy. It suggests that women tend to be seen as weaker and therefore potentially victims in need of protection through the law. Athenian men such as Ischomachus thought women were physically weak to an extent, believing ‘work.. indoors are women’s tasks’ and the ‘outdoors are the mans’. However, he justifies this indoor role he has given to his wife by different characteristics the gods have given to the sexes including women’s physical weakness however through the bee analogy he stresses the requirement for women to be assertive and strong in management in the internal roles of the oikos which makes her distinct from other women through her superior expertise she gains from managing the oikos. This suggests that Athenian men thought women were weak because of what they believe or what they’ve been taught to believe rather than see what women might be able to do.
Mr. Darcy is telling Mr. Bingley that Elizabeth is not pretty so he has no interest in her. These words were caught by Elizabeth, which makes her think that Mr. Darcy has excessive pride and starts to hate him. This situation, where Elizabeth dislikes Mr. Darcy, could be prevented if Mr. Darcy had not say these words out loud. So people should be careful of what they say if they would like to prevent a hard situation. Because prejudice builds up as time goes on, it can be magnified if the situation is not clarified immediately.
Some men will not marry a woman unless she has been ex-sized. This is not fair at all; men do not want the female to feel any pleasure. I am glad that the practice is not practiced today as much as it used to be,
When Lancelot is going to see the Lady of Shallot, she knows she is stepping into dangerous waters, but still goes along with it. Her image of herself turns so bad, that the basically kills herself and unhappy and lonely woman. After she is dead, Lancelot sees her and only says that “She has a lovely face,” demonstrating that he only cared about her looks and not really her inner beauty. The Lady of Shallot is a round character because she changes throughout the short story. At the beginning, she believes in herself and who she is as a person, but she is lonely.
The whole poems started during the time woman were tending to stay quite. She wrote the poem to express her opinion of a female’s voice in the society. She speaks in a worthless tone. In her view women were not different than men. Bradstreet also shows identity for the Puritan men that criticize her work because men had more talent and skill, which come in handy in the society, but she sees that it’s unfair.
When men offer their advice the women feels as if he is trying to diminish her problem; in fact they are doing the opposite. In his eyes he’s being supportive and caring because men don’t talk to each other about their troubles. Therefore, misunderstandings in communication based on gender differences are what cause conflicts in marriages. Tannen notes in a study that “body language that men display can frustrate women because it gives them the idea that men are not listening to them” (Homestar). When men are around one another they don’t sit and focus on each other; they do things together to where women talk about things.
The Portrayal of Women in Cartoons The portrayal of women these days show the women as weak or powerless, they need to be saved by the courageous, heroic male, they regularly have jobs as a stay at home mom, office worker or even house maids. The media paints unrealistic images of women and who they are and the jobs they are supposed to complete. Thus, giving women labels that they are not capable of doing anything and only tiny tasks, leaving the rest of the occupations to the strong, intelligent, dominant males. The main moral of these forms of media is that women are not capable of doing some assignments due to the belief that they are weak, need to be rescued, and have to have jobs that are designed for their “ability”. The truth is women are none of these characteristics and can accomplish anything if they put their heart set out to the task.
Women especially, believe this and think that every man is not willing to show his emotions. Although the stereotype may be true, it does not mean that men do not feel or have the same emotions as women. Mostly, men do not tend to show their emotions to the public like women are able to do. We continue to promote the stereotype by not displaying our emotions. I think that men have a much better control over their emotion and what they want to show the world, probably because we have a difficult time displaying emotion than women do.
