Men vs. Women

In today's society the roles of women an men have changed. Where as back in time the man was the head of the household, the sole provider, and had the power and say so over women, and the women was suppose to obey. The woman's role was to stay home cook, clean and nurse the children. Today the roles have switched and both women and men share alot of the responsibilities. Women are more educated now, they were not allowed to be back then. Now there are alot of single women providing for they're families on their own without a husband or a male role model. In reading Gulliver's Travel, I noticed how the yahoo female were referred to as prostitutes, and said that they were spreading diseases. He stated that the prostitute female yahoos acquired a certain malady, which bred rottenness in the bones of those who fell into their embraces. Let's take into consideration that the yahoos were uncontrollable, free, and living at thier own risk basically, so they were open to any kind of harm, tragedies, and all kind of diseases. Although I'm not a big fan of the story, I find it kind of interesting. I mean really, talking horses. The travelor also had a way with the words he chose, but being that he was the one that took the journey, he can only give the reader his perception of what he had seen.

  1. I have to agree with this post. The main reason why is that yes it is very true that in today society has change in many different ways. In today the women and men both spread the diseases around. That is something that I didn’t see that I wanted to add into the post. One other thing that I do agree with is even though back then we (as in women) did have to obey and clean along with raise the kids. But today, both men and women share that role in the society today. Most of the relationships has shared position throughout the day including the house work. One other thing is that this post was a good representation of the book and today’s normal life. GREAT JOB!
