Recommended: Gender roles are socially constructed

Marriage and love, now days it is true that you'll find a couple who had fell in love and that had made it throughout. marriage is more than a couple who are dedicated its showing responsibility and shows they will be there for eachother. I can personally relate to this by me and my girlfriend have been dating for a while and we still fight a lot but we get over it and we broke but got back, i don't see myself ready yet to tackle this big factor in my life or not just yet or anytime soon, maybe once im done with school and get a job in my career when i'm more stable rather as now when say i end up with a kid at this age at nineteen and no job just working on cars for side job.From when girls are small they are told that marriage is the goal and once there married they will have to be ready to do chores and cook, clean and, take care of the household. Emma Goldman shows, that marriage is like an institution that takes through a struggle of life anf that changes the imagination and if they can maneuver that they are ideal Furthermore, i can tell from my own personal experience that even by this date when i talk about going to Long Beach for my major i always talk about getting an apartment or so with my girlfriend and we always argue on this topic since i said i'm willing to do a compromise and help out by doing chores since i don't mind even though some can make fun of it or whatever. Everyone in now days acts Patriarchy by where one person is in charge where as would be ideal for both if made a compromise. I know alot of people who only do their part of chores and wouldn't even go get the “Dirt Groceries”, they think its “Gay” or always try to make fun of it. Men part chores are; changing furniture around, changing light bulbs, ya... ... middle of paper ... ... not just that much heard about by social media as women. Rape and Pornography, in porn the female women are used as sex objects and shows parts of bodies for values shows even people buying women as services or goods. THey used women tied up otor y object o animals and show them getting humilated or even show them as getting raoed and them enjoying it. i remember one my close friends when i was a kid his older brother would watch porn a lot and he then thought every girl likes getting tied up or getting beat by sex just from watching these videos people made. He would assumed they did since thats what he saw when he watched all these videos all over the web over the world. The internet is one of the large site for Pornorgophy, many dont go aginst t or say anything about since they thinks its free of speech and enjoy watching it and expect it in their daily life.

  • A Feminist Defense Of Pornography Wendy Mcelroy Analysis

    522 Words  | 2 Pages

    Wendy McElroy in “A Feminist Defense of Pornography” argues that degrading is subjective to each women and it’s up to them to define it. As much as that is true, does it mean that there shouldn’t be a standard to the word “degrading”? Take for example, pain is subjective, the same papercut can feel painful to me yet not to another person. There are even people who suffer from congenital analgesia (the inability to feel physical pain), But does this mean that it is right to inflict physical pain on those people? The law is the standard for defining physical pain and so the term “degrading” should also has its standard as it will cause harm to others.

Also depending on social class and economics can have an effect on marriages and relationships. “We use the idea of class most critically to describe who is likely to marry whom, who is willing to live with whom, and how prospective parents view the appropriate family structures for raising children” (82) By that being said Carbone and Cahn explains how society can change who people date and how they live. Another example of Carbone and Cahn idea of marriage is expressed by this statement, “Instead, shifts in the economy change the way men and women match up, and over time, they alter young people’s expectations about each other and about their prospects in newly reconstituted marriage markets” (80). Meaning young people over time lose the true meaning of marriage and how they even

  • The Sexualization of Women in the 21st Century

    ...gument against pornography is claiming that intercourse is an act of rape, the argument immediately seems outlandish and almost laughable, and it surely seems that way to the average person. People see these examples of radical feminism and attribute those isolated incidents as representative of the entire feminist movement as a whole. Therefore through complexity, the feminist movement lost a substantial amount of its genuine credibility due to perceived extremist views on female sexuality. This, among many other incidents, seems to be the cause of this great reversal in female sexuality in our current day society. Instead of putting an end to pornography, it flourishes. Instead of bringing an end to female objectification, it is often nowadays encouraged. This reversal of feminist ideals is the main cause for the damage to female gender roles in the 21st century.

Although their has been a slight decline in divorce rates, “half of first marriages still were expected to dissolve before death.” (Stacy, 15, 1991) Whatever happened to that meaningful exchange of words, “until death do us part,” uttered by the bride and groom to each other on their wedding day? What could have been the cause of such inflated divorce rates? Perhaps young married couples are not mature enough to be engaged in such a trremendous responsibility, or, maybe, the couples really do not know each other as well as they thought. Possibly, they have been blinded by infatuation rather than by true love, or, quite simply, the couples mistakenly have different relational expectations.

    What is marriage? Marriage is “the institution whereby men and women are joined in a special kind of social and legal dependence for the purpose of founding and maintaining a family” (Marriage 729). The fact is, marriage, to most of society, is something much more than that. To some, marriage is the uniting of their souls; to others, it is merely an escape from their fear, their pain, and their agony. The sad truth about it is that many of those marriages will end in divorce. So how do couples know if what they have will last forever? It is impossible to know for sure. No one can tell them that they definitely have what it takes to make a marriage last. Marriage is about compromise and understanding. It is also about give and take. If one party in the marriage is unwilling to give, and only takes, the marriage will be short lived.
