Judy Brady, I Want A Wife, The Bedford Reader, p360
Judy Brady’s essay “ I Want A Wife” Is about the daily
struggles of an unappreciated housewife in the 1970’s. The main point of
Brady’s essay is that society is very sexist, that it is a man’s world and
women are expected to honor and obey their husbands. Women are expected to put
their own wants and needs aside and focus solei on their children and their
husbands wants and needs. I think the
purpose of this article is to spotlight the issue of sexism and for women to
relate and gain the courage to standup for their own needs and happiness.
Christina Hoff Sommers, Men-It’s In Their Nature, The
Bedford Reader, p365
Sommers essay “ Men- It’s Their Nature” is about the differences
in gender on a biological level. Sommers’ points out that no matter how hard we
try to tone down masculinity by taking away games and toys from boys, typically
found in their classrooms and bedrooms and replace them with gender neutral
toys and games, Boys are still going to want to do masculine things like
construction and serving in the military. Instead of taking these toys and
games away it is better to teach the child at a young age how to be a
respectful honorable man. The purpose of this article is to communicate that good
values do not come from what our children are playing with. Good values come
from the parent and the home the child is being raised in.
I choose to use Christina Hoff Sommers essay “Men-It’s In
Their Nature” to write about in my analytical essay.
Nice strong summaries of each article. However, the last paragraph should be more then just telling me which article you are going to analyze for your paper. It should also explain why that article stood out to you.
