Quiz 17: Fuller
1. Consider the following claim:
"Many women are considering within themselves, what they need that they have not, and what they can have, if they find they need it. Many men are considering whether women are capable of being and having more than they are and have, and, whether, if so, it will be best to consent to improvement in their condition."
Now consider the distinctions Fuller makes between men's and women's positions in these two sentences, and respond to the following: What is at stake for men and for women when they approach questions of what women need and have?
This quote indicates the inequality of men and women. The women had to decide what to ask for based simply on need, prioritizing that need on immediate

    “If we say the world of the man is the state, the world of the man is his commitment, his struggle on behalf of the community, we could then perhaps say that the world of the woman is a smaller world. For her world is her husband, her family, her children and her home. But where would the big world be if no one wanted to look after the small world? How could the big world continue to exist if there was no one to make the task of caring for the small world the center of their lives? No, the big world rests upon this small world! The big world cannot survive if the small world is not secure.”…

    Dorment is a senior editor for Esquire, a men’s magazine. He expresses his personal take on the matter of “having it all”. He starts with an excerpt of his life. Him and his wife are talking about whether they want to have a boy or girl. Dorment ends the intro with claiming that there would be no “conspicuous advantages” based on the gender of their child (Dorment 697). He jumps right into the statistics on degrees and jobs that are taken up by more females than males. Dorment asks a few rhetorical questions to get the reader thinking and then dives in. He immediately gives his stance on the problem by contrasting Slaughter’s stance on why women are not sitting at the head of the table to Sheryl Sandberg’s “more grown-up” take on the issue. His tone of writing highlights his distaste for the men blame game when he feels that they are doing the best they can. He feels men are going through the same things that women go through. He even gives a statistic that says men are more stressed than their counterparts, which contrasts completely with Slaughter’s stat of women being more stressed than men. Dorment gives insight into his daily life by explaining that his wife works more in her profession and with their child than he does but he does help out where he can by washing dishes and cooking meals most of the time. They don’t try to one-up each other and just gives 110%…

    Fuller strongly disagrees that women have to be dependent on her husband. They have the right and opportunity to make their own decisions in their life. Women could also succeed if they were given the equal opportunity as men. Marriage is not the only solution for their insurance and happiness. Many people have criticized that not many women could’ve stand up and speak for their rights like Fuller. Through her writings, she wanted to encourage…

    We live out our destinies in a world of vast and profound complexity, where claims upon our compassion and our judgment compete and often conflict. A woman respects the preciousness of human life by acknowledging and honoring the intricate tapestry of her relationships and commitments; indeed, we believe that the complexity of human life can be a source of moral wisdom and courage. The woman's ability to choose is rooted in her individual conscience, not in her adherence to ancient religious superstitious beliefs.…

    In this way, it is made to seem like a woman is always dependent on a man, or “the other,” more able sex. However, Young explains that men recognize women’s dependence on them, and use it to their advantage. She states, “In this objectifying self-reflection women serve as a material both on which to stand out and to build, and women likewise serve as a primary object reflecting himself, his mirror” (Young 128). In addition to this, Beauvoir says that men see women as a sexual partner, but not as an independent being. Her being completes a man, but without a man she is not complete. In this way, a woman feels like she is worth less than a man.…
