After reading both text, I find it fascinating how even in our personal relationships we experience misogyny. Unfortunately, many women feel guilty or not good enough for somethings thats not true in their sex life. Although it is clear that an orgasm can only come from a clitoris, men will still choose to deny it because they only receive benefits from a vagina. “The myth of the vaginal orgasm” spreads light on what women go through and how they are left unhappy In their sex life to please a mans ego. We even turn on each other for male validation. Koedt mentions a case where a women pretended vaginal orgasm for a man to leave his first wife. Even though she wasn’t genuinely pleased, she knew it would impress him. I believe we sometimes allow men to have such a strong hold on us, and it’s not always our fault. They have programmed many of us to believe our jobs are to please them and if we don’t, we’re not good enough. Unfortunately, cases like this often happen and leave the women confused on what has to be fixed to be validated. In “The Politics of Housework”, Mainardi uses a personal example of how men are entitled. I think many women go through similar situations and accept it because they are being gaslighted. Men use quotes that were used by Mainardi, such as “housework is too trivial to even talk about” or “We used to be so happy!” To make their partner feel like they’re meant to do housework. Women tend to fall for it and continue the cycle of traditional roles.
