Alright so my grandfather is kinda sexist..and I kinda want to make him read this and record his reaction.
Yes? No? Alright just kidding.
This was one of the most prestigious essays I've ever read. And wow was it difficult. From the old english, to the advanced vocab, relentless rants on random, seemingly un-related topics, and references to men I've never heard of also made this reading...take up my whole night. Nonetheless, great piece of writing.
From what I got away from it, the writing was an extened editorial on the respect given to women and how they are unfairly percieved in that times world. I agree with basically everything she stated. Equal treatment between the sexes however is not just a utopian dream as she said, it should be natural. It really is a shame some men think they're better than women just because they may be bigger or stronger in stature.
I really...really did not enjoy the length. It couldve been shortened as to me it seemed completley repetitive by the end. She was literally saying the same thing over and over again. I was also tricked by the advanced grammar. I was impressed by the initial presentation, but then it was just copied over and over again.
The references, were flawless. I have to give her that. Examples and interpretations of the text with backgrounds of the authors was superior work.
All in all, it was a very enlightening text. But I want to leave with one question to put forward. It seemed to be one of the only few things i took away from the extended argumental conversations with some of my male, republican elders: If women are so eager to be entirely equal, why are they not forced to sign up for the draft as well?
