Hello classmate and Professor This week I’ve Read 2 pieces of text informing me on new topics I’m unaware of or know little to nothing about. I’ll be quite honest; I don’t like how the first text is written to much. It’s a little bit confusing. The author could’ve done a better job explaining the difference between liberated women & women’s liberation.  “The Politics of Housework by Pat Mainardi Talks about the difference between Liberated Woman and Women’s Liberation and housework being a main example. A Liberated women shows that she is free from traditional ideas, especially when it regards to sexual roles it seems like. The author states “Liberated women-very different from Women’s Liberation! The first signals all kinds of goodies, to warm the hearts of the most radical men.” and author also states “who wants that old commodity anymore, the Standard American Housewife, all husband, home and kids? The New Commodity the Liberated Woman, has sex a lot and has a Career.” The liberated woman does not seem like the average house wife and she is not following traditional social norms. She   goes on to talk about how over time History has made it seem like Women have to follow these norms the author  goes on to explain why they shouldn’t. Housework is brought up into the picture because this is a good example of men I guess feeling like women are supposed to do housework and be housewives… When in general men can put just as much effort into doing these tasks it’s not something only women do. ? The freedom of women from sexism,  The fight for equal rights for women is Women’s Liberation, a liberated woman is a Free Women. 

“The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm” by Anne Koedtwas the second article I read that I liked the most out of the two readings. The discussion of vaginal and clitoral orgasms is what the article is basically about. There are many myths presented in articles that I find interesting. The author states “ The vagina is not a highly sensitive area and is not constructed to achieve orgasm. It is the clitoris which is the center of sexual sensitivity and which is the female equivalent of the penis”. I find this information being true, and good for high school freshmen to know. They don’t tell you this in Sex ed. Sadly there are many people failing to please their partners. They don’t show this area enough love.  Something else the author also states that I like and agree with is the point that ” We must discard the “normal” concepts of sex and create new guidelines which take into account mutual sexual enjoyment. New techniques must be used or devised which transform this particular aspect of our current sexual exploitation. To make things more fun and experimental we should find different ways to reach Climax by using different techniques. For The article being written in the 1970 this generation has definitely found out new ways to do that using different devices and contraptions and having such easy accessibility to these resources. Another myth debunked or spoken about that I like and knew before was that “The Clitoris is a small equivalent of the penis, except for the fact that the urethra does not go through it as in the man’s penis. This has a connection to the concept that Everyone starts the same in utero. Slowly from then we develop into either boys or girls. From the author’s explanation the clitoris is internal, and the penis is external but still similar. In conclusion the author debunks many myths in this article I just spoke about some of the ones that catch my eye the most.
