As a female I feel like we been through a lot such as facing many issues and the fact that we ourselves have to speak up so that we can be heard. While I was reading one of the article’s which was The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan one part that stood out to me was when it said “women are still treated as second-class citizens”. When I read this it made me think about as if we belong to like a different part of group meaning like a group in society. It shouldn’t be that way because we are humans and we should received equal rights To me a second class citizen is when both genders are being treated differently in society. In the article that i just mention about talks about feminine mystique, and how feminine has been not been valued enough of what they do such as washing dishes, ironing and that it’s an issue without having a name but we know that it’s an issue that need to be fixed. The politics of house work article talks about how women complain of there own husbands some are the house chores. According to the article “Pat Mainardi, The Politics of Housework” states, “Here’s my list of dirty chores: buying groceries, carting them home and putting them away; cooking meals and washing dishes and pots; doing the laundry digging out the place when things are out of control; washing floors. To my understanding these types of situations are still happening in the present and it shouldn’t be happening because if it’s wife and husband living in the same household then they should be working together as team and not just the wife working on the house chores such as washing dishes or the husband just working. I honestly don’t understand how this is still happening. It’s always best to help out each other instead of just focusing on only working on certain thing. The more you help out each the better communication or lifestyle you’ll have, that’s just my opinion that I’m putting out there. Another part that stood out to me from the article “Pat Mainardi, The Politics of Housework” was when it said, “Unfortunately I’m no good at things like washing dishes or cooking. What I do best is a little light carpentry, changing light bulbs, moving furniture.” This part of the article is telling us how one person may not know how to a certain chore in the house hold. Either the wife or husband should do one of the chores or instead split the chores this way everything that needs to be done gets done and everything should work out fine. I personally think that doing chores in half would be the best option because it’s showing a form of god communication. The term house work to me means getting things done in your house, it’s important because if both wife and husband chose to live together then it’s a responsibility that should be done.
