Similar to the selection entitled Sexism and Language, this essay revolves mainly around the theme of gender discrimination. It speaks of all the things women should learn from men. For the most part, it explains that women should try to defy society’s usual image of women as being frail and weak. It emphasizes that women should in fact learn to get tough, and take credit when credit is due.
I, for one, agree with what the author, Barbara Ehrenreich, had said. All women should take a stand and prove once and for all to everyone that women can do whatever men can do. Sometimes, even better.
I know that this would be particularly hard for women to do, given that we have long been branded as the inferior sex, but I believe if all women see their worth and try to exert more effort then, maybe someday, society would recognize this as well. We should continue to fight our way thru the many biases thrown at us and strive for equality always.
