Druz blog 3
As I was reading chapter 3 something that really made me read twice was the section on femininity. It said how women were taught that their role was to please men, regardless of their won needs and desires. I've heard a lot about how back in the day a woman's role was mother and wife. It just made me so proud to be a woman now, so I have had a chance to see how far we have come. In my family it was always my dad trying to make sure mom was happy because if she wasn't then everyone had to watch out. As a teacher for family consumer science I'm excited to teach the kids in my class what women have achieved and what we still are. I won't blame the boys in my class but i want to teach them that women are their equal and should be treated as such.

I am also very proud to know how far women have come in society. No longer is it considered the norm for women to stay at home and take care of the house, children, and husband. However I feel that some part of the role of women to please men still holds true. Women today are expected to dress, look, and act in a certain way. Not saying this has to do 100% with women pleasing men, but in a way it does. If women did not feel the need to please the others around them I feel that more women would dress, look, and act differently then they originally do.
Woman have come a very long way since back when they had no say in basically anything. Although women are not expected to be the ones at home and taking care of the kids all of the time they do still have expectations. In my home (living w/ my aunt, uncle, and their tripelts), my aunt works and my uncle stayed home with the kids. It is a big turn around from back in the day. But it still seems that men do not have to worry about their self image as much as woman do. Women are by far more likely to look nicer because of the judgment passed on them if they are not. Its just silly.
