Men work in the field, while women stay at home;

Men are trained for the war to fight, while women care for the family

Men are controlled by intellect, while women are sensitive and affectionate, Men give orders while women obey orders

If the roles of men and women are not in the way, the world would be confusion

1) Tennyson thought that men should be in the dominating place in the society, while women

should be in the passive and obedient place who can only stay at home to obey men’s order. 2) Do. I don’t agree with him. The status of men and women should be equal. They should be

treated equally in the daily business. His description is out of date. 2. interpreting the quotation:

A woman should not think that only because she is woman, she should be given special rights by men or she accepts bias and sexual discrimination. What she should do is to compete in the society as equally as a man.

1) Friedan would not agree with Tennyson. They had different ideas about the roles of man and woman in the society.

2) I agree with Friedan. We know Freidan’s description reflects the truth correctly. Now women contribute a lot to the society, who are as important as men. The belief of “living as a human being” helps women overcome the sexual discrimination which still exists clearly and achieve a lot in their fields.
