In Adrienne Rich's essay "Taking Women Students Seriously" I felt really bad for the women in the 1900s. They felt that women couldn't do anything a man could do. Therefore men believe that their job was to cook, clean, and take care of their husband and children. They didn't give the same rights to women in education. Most of these women wanted to be independent and have their own lives with out a man. I agree that with the women who wanted to be independent and get a education with out having a man right behind them. I also agree tha women were not taking seriously because man believe it was a "MAN JOB" which is totally not true. Women can simply do any man job if they wanted to do it. I hate the fact that a lot of people sterotype that only certain things are for certain genders. If a man wanted to cook he can actually go and learn to cook.
When I was reading this essay it made me realize how important education is in the world. Many teens need to go to college so they won't depend on another man or woman to take care of them. Also by going to a all girls school gives us the benefit to learn about certain things that many schools are not learning about. Rich's love talking about this topic because she was the one who was trying to better her self in order to have success. We need to stop worrying about what men think about us and let them see that women can do it too. Lets get every man in the whole world scared about our success then maybe one day we they will realize we just as good as them.
i also agree with when you say women can do anything a man can do. that is beyond the truth, but alot of men seem to shy away from those independet women because just like we have the stereotype to cook clean and take care of the family they have the stereotype to bring home the money and be a "MAN".
ReplyDeleteI like the point you made about its the man job to bring the money in. Single moms today are the ones working and making the money for their families and they do not need a man by their side for it.
