Some Reflections Upon Marriage
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The concept that men are entitled to inherent privileges in marriage, while women have to earn their place in the same state of matrimony, is the clear
implication in Mary Astell's "Some Reflections Upon Marriage." Asserting feminist views about the vast differences between the roles men and women play in relationships, Astell contends that the fairer sex has routinely been victimized by society merely because of
gender; that women are lesser human beings in any respect is a concept foreign to the author's forward thinking structure. The writer discusses the concepts of marriage, roles and feminism as they relate to the essay. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Purpose and Femininity
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing man’s "oppression" of women based on examples given in three feminist articles. One of those articles describes Georgia O’Keeffe’s disdain of the
men who fail to see her paintings of flowers as she sees them. In O’Keeffe’s view, the fault lies with the men, rather than with the artist’s ability to cause her audience to see her flowers from her point of view. The paper labels that failure as lying with the artist, rather than with the audience, and extrapolates O’Keeffe’s experience to corporate
America, where the failure of some women to rise to senior management levels is blamed on the glass ceiling, rather than the inherent abilities of the women that have been passed over. Sympathy exists, but only where it is deserved. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Date Rape
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper which discusses the occurrence of date rape and presents an
intervention involving education as a possible solution to the problem. Too often the
reason for date rape is inability to communicate so that the other understands. Currently,
the methods approached primarily address what the woman can do to prevent date rape,
and rarely do we see the men approached or taught about date rape and their
responsibility. The intervention addresses group talks which will enable men and women in
colleges to better learn to communicate and understand the implications and the
seriousness of date rape. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
