Blog #17 Hooks

Hooks’ reading was a reading that was very interesting, it included very interesting points about sexism and prejudice. Sex discrimination has been an ongoing battle with in society, and because society has made it an ongoing battle men and women now even today but not as bad as earlier are still fighting over each other. The same old ideas are being instilled upon the younger generations that the male is supposed to be the one that goes out in to the world and makes the money looking after his wife and kids. Women are still being taught to be proper, soft and elegant and that they are supposed to find someone who will look after them and her children, also that she is supposed to cook, clean and be ready for her husband to come home and have things all organized. To many things in society have enforced this ideology and in a way one would think that a females family would be the ones who want her to break away from this mold and take on the world, being independent and striving to make her way on her own with out a man. But again society is controlling people’s thoughts and views, some families in a way are to afraid to break away form the norm. They do not want to be the ones looked at differently, for having a daughter involved in other things other than being frail and proper. This stereotype is old and it needs to be changed, I liked this reading and this blog really allowed me to rant and get some things off of my mine. I found this reading very interesting.
