Reflection 8

The myth of the vaginal regarding the fact that women cannot attain orgasm or by the cause of their frigidity is very stagnant in society. It is discussed in schools, social media but how is the false information rather prevailing. Women are seen to have psychological issue if they make it known or voice out the fact that they are unable to have orgasm. In cases like this, the scientific aspect is ignored and social part of life advances. I think this including the many reasons why women do not speak their minds about relating matters, also why women resulting to other solutions to get what they want. 

            Pat Mainardi’s, “The Politics of Housework” dives deep and transverses about how women had to always tend to house related work and whilst men went to work and did their respective duties as well. The author also furtherly explains that in circumstances relating to that, men preferred women with whom they could control, women who would fold and were easily submissive. Bett Friedan gives an insight to what the aftermath of married life was like in her article “The Feminine Mystique”. These two articles really correlate in terms of men and women’s case of responsibility. For women was to stay home, constantly attending to her families’ troubles, having no other or expected to not wish for anything else. I feel that it was indeed a very intense time to be alive. The very difficult tendency to make your opinions known and freely say what you feel and even better take actions to make the situation better.
