This week the readings made me think about how deep the oppression of women goes while I already knew it ran pretty deep the information gave me insight on to why even today we see some of the problems that were around many years ago in households and society are still here present day. Even with the progressive nature of the world many are still conditioned to think a specific way without even realizing it. It is disguised in excuses and reasons why it’s more feasible for a woman to handle a task or why a woman cannot achieve an orgasm. In all actuality it is the same oppressive behavior from years ago coming out in the form of excuses. Instead of assuming a woman who cannot achieve orgasms through “normal” vaginal stimulation is frigidity other possibilities should be considered since sex was originally geared towards only a man’s satisfaction and the same goes for housework while men will say they are willing to do the task it then becomes dreadful because there is a claim to be “no good at cleaning” but more helpful with utility work and etc. It is embedded in society even when it is not immediately recognizable!
