As I was reading this article, i found it to be boring. She goes on and on about the female society and how it is portrayed, but I find it hard to relate to it because things have changed so much. She discusses how the woman would sit quietly and just let others think for them, but that is not how it is today. This may still exist in some people, but some men alike will let others judge their opinions. I feel that it all depends on the person and what they are willing to stand up for, not because they have to be quiet to seem "feminine." I do however agree with her idea on responsibility and how you need to be able to make your own decisions and not let anyone make up your mind for you. I feel like a lot of the points she makes about responsibility are true, but I also believe that it is applied to men also. I think that men in our society can have just as many problems being their own person than a female can. I don't think that this reading should be solely based on women because this is a new time, and a lot of people face the same struggles every day no matter your race or gender. I found the second part of the reading hard to relate to because so far in my college experience I have had many women professors and some of them have been better than the male ones. She is talking about a women's college, so I don't really know about the professors there, and I don't know if they are still predominantly female, but personally I have had a pretty equal amount. I feel like in our society that the majority of teachers did used to be women. If I think back to my elementary school, there were only two or three male teachers in the whole building, but I feel like our society is changing and it is becoming more acceptable for men to get jobs teaching just like women are getting in business and jobs that used to be construed as "manly." Also, I never felt that any of my male professors treated the women as sexual objects. Overall I found this reading pretty dry and pretty offensive to men and women.
