This week we covered the liberated women and Women’s Liberation, in addition to The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm. I thought these topics were really interesting to learn about, and I feel like I have seen examples of a lot of these values and perspectives in people I’ve met before. It’s so true that men are not used to doing a lot of the housework that we see people expect women to do, and I feel like that starts from a very young age. When I was a kid, I would help my sister with a lot of the housework as my mom would always assign things to her without assigning them to my brother and me. It was frustrating and unfair, and honestly, I feel like that’s the reason a lot of the men in my family don’t know how to do a lot of basic things, or at least not well. It’s unfortunate and I think it’s a great thing for women to bring up, especially when they are married. There is really no reason that their husbands shouldn’t be able to learn how to clean just as well as anyone else. I’ve also seen countless men talk about women and their orgasms as if they know their anatomy so well, which is just incredibly frustrating.
