Chapter 10

Gender Inequalities
I picked this chapter because things I’ve read in here are things that I’ve noticed and feel like is an issue that should be brought up and fixed.

Article: Gender Inequality and the Division of Household Labor in the United States and Sweden: A Socialist-Feminist Approach

http://www.jstor.org/pss/800637

I picked this article because with their hypothesis they may have found why gender inequalities in the home are maintained despite progressive legislations. Making that first step is a good thing because it will eventually help out and solve the problem

This youtube video shows that inequality within gender is an issue throughout the world we live in, through school all the way to getting a job later in life.

What all the ads and all the whoreoscopes seemed to imply was that if only you were narcissistic enough, if only you took proper care of your smells, your hair, your boobs, your eyelashes, your armpits, your crotch, your stars, your scars, and your choice of Scotch in bars--you would meet a beautiful, powerful, potent, and rich man who would satisfy every longing, fill every hole, make your heart skip a beat (or stand still), make you misty, and fly you to the moon (preferably on gossamer wings), where you would live totally satisfied forever.”
