Blog Post #3

          In the first article, I Want a Wife by Judy Brady, the main point is to make wives sound like they are meant for nothing more than working, cooking, cleaning, and caring only for their husband’s needs. The author writes in a way that makes it sound like the wife should put their husband’s needs before anything else, even if that means being replaced by another woman. The purpose of the author writing with such exaggeration and stereotypes is to clearly show how wrong it is to place these kinds of expectations on women and how wrong it is for men to expect all that of their wives.

          In the second article, Men –It’s in Their Nature by Christina Hoff Sommers, the main point is to show that men acting like men is not necessarily a bad thing and can even be a good one. Men and women have differences; it’s just a fact of science. The purpose of the article is also to explain that even though our society offers equal opportunity to both genders, it shouldn’t try to force boys and girls to act the same –not only is it unfair to force people to be something they’re not, but all that will come out of it is agitated boys and girls.

          I am choosing to analyze the article Men –It’s in Their Nature by Christina Hoff Sommers. There are some parts of the article that I agree with and others that I disagree with. Because my views on this article are a bit contradictory, I believe analyzing this article will give me a greater understanding of what the author is really trying to say and how I feel about it. I think I will have an easier time challenging what the author is saying and expanding and analyzing their ideas.
