HW 22 "Patriarchy dead or alive"

Patriarchy OptionWolf states " The most transient visitor to this planet, I thought, who picked up this paper couldn’t not fail to be aware, even from this scattered testimony, that England is under the rule of a patriarchy (page 33)". She says this after looking at a newspaper that was previously left on the table. She states that on the front page of the paper it says things like "Mr. Justice___ commented in the Divorce Court upon the shamelessness of Women (page 33)" and "Actress had been lowered from a peak in California and hung suspended in mid air (page 33)". I can see why Wolf would state such a powerful comment. I think that because Wolf is starting to really look at Women in Fiction she is starting to notice how they are being treated all over the world. When i looked on the Boston Globe website to look at a newspaper here the first thing i noticed was the way it looked. There were a lot of pictures of men on the front page. I couldn’t really tell by reading the articles that i would state that the US is patriarchy but it’s something i do notice. Right now i am in a Women’s Studies class where we go over this topic all the time. Its kind of hysterical in a way to think about how many things are left unsaid for women and the way that the male gender still does run alot of the way we live. I do however think that it has got a lot better and that women are starting to take on more roles in our government like Hillary Clinton running for president. Women i think are starting to take a more powerful stand, but i do still think men are the more dominant figure in our society.
