Sexism At Its Fullest
I feel like this book repeats itself many times with themes that happen. One that I find to be in almost every chapter is the use of women. Now every book uses women, but this has a theme of sexism involved. Men think that they are superior to women, and just use them for reproduction. It also seems like they only thing women are for is to get raped and abused. This is something that I can never and will never understand. I know that in the past women were inferior to men, but school never really explains to us why this was. When I'm in class everyday, I don't have even the most minimal feeling of superiority to women because I know that they are just as smart as men. This is because I have seen that they can do everything I can do, and better. Reading these last four chapters really made me mad at how history has been. We always hear about things that are currently happening and have happened that are terrible and inhumane, but it seems like every other page of this book talks about a woman getting treated badly. I can't say that I don't like this book, because it teaches you a lot about the culture of previous generations, but it makes me sick to hear how cruel this worlds history has been.
