The Chauvinist Society Versus the Capable Woman
Throughout history, society has always had problems with women stepping up from
duties prearranged for them that so many times women have been denied the right to prove their
worth and capability. Society sees women as the weaker sex, with nothing to offer but being the
mother to their children and taking care of the house. For eons, women have been overpowered
by men, and even today men still try to exert control over situations and conversations when
feminists have already made tremendous progress towards equality, which shows that men want
to be in control and still do not think much of women. As a result of the history relating to
gender power struggles , women for the most part learned to be submissive over time awaiting
the chance for society to accept them as the same as men.
Edit as noted. Clear and focused and effective context that sets the framework of the discussion.
Women were only allowed to do daily chores in the house and not voice their opinions
because men could not accept that women are smart and can do what they do. The power that
someone has to impose their will on someone through interaction can be more than just forcing
someone to do what you want in many ways like taking away one’s self-worth and voice.
Women do not try to overpower men, yet in some homes where their interaction and roles each
gender takes is recorded, some men end up doing whatever they can to take control. Women
have always been seen by society as weaker and thoughtless, when in actuality they are more
than capable of doing the same as men, yet men feel as if they should overpower them in any
way possible. This paragraph needed a quote for support. Women were only allowed to do daily
chores in the house
Women were only allowed to do daily chores in the house and not voice their opinions
because men could not accept that women are smart and can do what they do. In “The
Chrysanthemums” written by John Steinbeck, Elisa is very durable and clever, yet society tries
so hard to make her feel weak because they cannot accept or even acknowledge it simply
because she is a woman. Elisa is only allowed to grow flowers and clean the house, yet she
yearns to prove that she can do so much more. Elisa can solve problems, is physically, mentally
and emotionally strong, and can do anything she sets her mind to, but society is reluctant to even
allow her the chance to show what she is able to do. Of course, Elisa is eager to show the
stranger how competent she at fixing things when the stranger gets done fixing her pans.
Drawing from Elisa’s experiences when she says, “I can sharpen scissors, too. And I can beat the
dents out of little pots. I could show you want a woman might do” (Steinbeck 475), illustrates her
self-views on her abilities. She tries to do her best to bring up anything that would suggest that
women could do the same things in hoping that the men would let her show them, only to be shot
down. After telling him her capabilities, he turns her down just because she is a woman claiming
that his life is too scary for a women. She was trying so hard to be able to show men what she
can do, but is forced to keep hoping that the day would come when she could show them and not
get treated like she is weak. Even though she has verbally proven herself, she has been shut
down by society that views her as weak women when she is not. For instance, the men want
power and over all the centuries they have succeeded in captivating it. This paragraph needs
another quote for support.
The power that someone has to impose their will on someone through interaction can be
greater than just forcing someone to do what you want in many ways, like taking away a
woman’s self-worth and voice. Pamela Fishman describes power as the “ability to impose one’s
definition of what is possible, what is right, what is rational, what is real” (Fishman 397).
Imposing upon someone your ideals and beliefs end up taking their opinion and rights away from
them. Even when women and men hold the same rank, women are not treated the same because
“women are more often called by their first, men by their last- in terms of asymmetrical use of
first and last names” (Fishman 398). Women are just not seen the same way men are and this
imbalance causes the men to still have at least some way to hold power over women, proving
that women still has a long way for equality to become fully accomplished. Power has been
abused by men for too long, and the need for equality in both academic and ordinary life is still a
long way from society acceptance. At the same time, women do not try to overpower men when
the men do everything to overpower women.
Women do not normally attempt to overpower men, yet in a study of couples in their
homes where their interaction and roles each gender takes is recorded, the men ended up doing
whatever they can to take control. The solution of the study was that “in all three couples the
men usually set up the tape recorders and turned them on and off. More significantly, some of
the times that the men turned the recorders on, they did so without the women’s knowledge. The
reverse never occurred” (Fishman 399-400). Men try to have control over the situations and
conversations and present how they want to be dominant over women no matter what. The
couples had the authority to censor parts that they did not want the researcher to hear, and
“Usually the men played the tapes to censor them, and made the only two attempts to exert
control over the presentation of the data to me” (Fishman 400). The men not only set up the
recorders and turned them on and off, but they even had to take control over censoring the parts
that they did not want the researcher to hear. The proof just keeps adding up that men will try to
have as much power as they can over women. After all, the conclusion showed that there was an
immense imbalance of the work each gender submitted in the conversations.
The conclusion from the study was that it was an unsatisfactory dispersal of effort
between the communication of the males and females. Women are more interested in starting
conversation than men, but the men do not always respond which causes the women to fail due
to an uninterested male. As Fishman states that women “ask more questions and use attention
beginnings” (404). You have to fully explain the quote. You are not fully explaining each quote
and relating that explanation to the thesis before you add the next quote. This is known as piling
quotes on top of one another. Make sure you fully explain each quote in the context of the thesis
and then transition to the next quote. She also states that men “rely on statements, which they
assume will get responses, when they want interactions and much more often discourage
interactions initiated by women than vice-versa” (Fishman 404). Women try to initiate
conversation more often and usually fail, while men try less and rarely fail. Women are more
accustomed to wanting to talk, while men do not want to unless the topic benefits them
somehow. All things considered, men still end up trying to control women by controlling what
topic they will talk about and which topics they find insignificant. In short, the difference
between men and women is that women do not try to take control and do want to engage in
conversation with the opposite sex.
Society has always had problems with women having any voice or power in situations or
to ever do anything. Elisa is very capable and tough but society just makes her feel like she is
only allowed to do her house chores. Elisa is not allowed to show how capable she is but she has
to live with the fact that she knows she could do it if society ever gave her a chance. Men have
imposed their ideals on women for far too long. It is proven, not just assumed, that men try to
take control over situations so that they can have power over the other. The world has a long way
till the imbalance becomes equal and women are accepted in about everything that men do.
Think about organization and how it is most effective to present and explore specific discussion
points. Always be strategic about where you use quotes and what you want them to illustrate and
how you explain and discuss them Work on integrating quotes. You do an effective job for the
most part, but you can constantly work on making the tag that introduces the quote more
complex and refined. You must always make sure you tie your analysis of the quotes back to the
thesis. Transitional sentences- always work on making them highly focused and specific. Review
sentence fluency- this is an area to always work on.
