Woman’s Place In Man’s life cycle pg 797
What are the difference between man and women in terms of the way they regard relationships?
-Gilligan reading I thought was a very easy and understandable reading. Gillian discussed issues regarding boys and girls of how people have these boy games that prepare boys for competition later in life and girls probably tend to be more girly and not having to do anything. Gilligan stated that “fair treatment of the sexes they thought demanded that the sexes be more alike than different.”(pg 798). I think that fair treatment would emphasis equality between both sexes , because men and women are always going to be different, however society sets it up as men are suppose to be dominant and competitive and women are suppose to be just housewives. Personally I think women would make a better president because a woman can handle situations better than a man because a man, not all are more likely to put the state a risk. Men always judge women like they think we don’t have any capabilities0 of doing anything. In Beauvoir view men tend to judge women as the “other” rather than a woman with than with their own nature and identities”. Gilligan stated growing up girls would prefer to be more like their mothers and boys like their fathers. I highly agree because boys do tend to want to be like their father while the girls want to be more like their mother because that’s how it always been. Even though they look up to both parents the boy may see his father being the man of the house going to work and having control of the relationship while the girl see’s her mother being a loving mother, raising children, cleaning, cooking, and being the best mother and wife there is. This shows how Gilligan explained how society separates people and made deviant in society.
