“The Politics of Housework” by Minardi and “The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm” by Koedt both of these played an important role in the feminist movement of the 1970s by challenging traditional gender roles and promoting the idea of gender equality. 

“The Politics of Housework” by Pat Mainardi argues that housework is not a personal problem for women but a political issue that reflects gender inequality and reinforces women’s role in society. Mainardi critiques the traditional family structure and argues that housework should be recognized as a form of labor that is undervalued and unpaid.

“The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm” by Anne Koedt challenges the medical and cultural belief that women can only achieve orgasm through vaginal penetration by a male partner. Koedt argues that this belief is based on  assumptions about women’s sexuality and denies women the opportunity to explore and experience their own sexual pleasure. The article promotes the idea of female sexual autonomy and encourages women to speak out about their own sexual experiences and desires.

In my household I lived with my mother and sisters and we helped her cook and clean around the house. I also agree that women should speak out and do what makes them happy.
