why i want a wife

1. What was your first reaction to the article?
My first reactionwas rage at the stereotyping present in the article. I couldn't believe all of the annoying and offensive things said about women.

2. What has changed (if anything) in terms of gender equality in our country? Would Sykes’s criticisms still be relevant today?
Women are becoming more corporate leders and there are less only stay at home moms. In the 50s women tyically ONLY stayed at home, but now its less common. It still happens though, like my mom only stayed at home when i was a kid. So, Sykes criticism would still be slightly relavent today.

3. Do you feel that women are discriminated against in our society and if so how? If not, what has changed?
I feel women aare definitely still discriminated against today because women make less women and are given lower jobs. Since teaching is typically a "woman's job," teachers make very little money. If it was mainly a guys job, they would probably make more. It's changed because now there you do see more women in ceo positions and there are laws protecting gender discrimination.

4. Could an equivalent essay entitled “Why I want a husband” be written? If so, what would it contain and what points would it make?
Yes, but the main thing it would contain is financial reasons for wanting a husband. The point of security through financial support, protection, and also having a husband's last name to promote yourself through society.
