Reading HW: Ch. 7-9 of The Bell Jar
HW: Consider the passage where Esther compares her life to a fig tree. I'd like you to consider, in writing, some of the figs of your own fig tree. What paths would you like to explore? What sacrifices would you have to make to explore some of these paths?
This is my minutes gift. I saw this video a while ago back when I was reading about feminism and males rights. I really do like Marc Rudov's arguments because they are entertaining. I have not read his books, but he is a bit extreme and a lot of what he says is debatable. However, in this video, a very interesting question is proposed: why are women less happy from their 40s onward than men are? The study shows that women are less happy, but does the study seem to hold merit? Is it nonsense?
ReplyDeleteAlso don't forget that this is Fox News and the two women defending all women don't seem to know what they're talking about. Also, Marc Rudov is a very loud character himself. Don't be easily swayed by either sides' arguments in this video because it's hardly professional and or academic. But it was entertaining and interesting so I will post it.

I also think Marc had very good points. Granted they were generalizations, I still think his generalizations are somewhat accurate and not far-fetched.
