A Correct View of Women Precis
Thesis: Women must always be pleased by the work of a man in order to strengthen his character and image and be a helping hand to him, but not a second brain.
Argument Structure:
-Chesterfield constructs his argument using Logos to get his son to share the same point of view as him.
-Although he argues that women are meant to keep men company and construct their character, he believes that women can’t make important decisions due to their lack of growth.
-They are only children of a larger population without a solid reasoning or good sense.
-Chesterfield notes that to keep women, you must make them feel they are contributing to a man’s decision, but this is only a mask of flattery because man already has their decision made.
-Compliments must be given, varying on the women.
Conclusion: Although Chesterfield’s views seem very cynical and outdated, I still see the points he made as a significance part in modern treatment of women. Many jobs require making critical decisions go to men. I believe that this is because as Chesterfield mentions, women do not have solid reasoning or good sense. I do not agree with this but do think this was a large view in the past generations for some cultures that has subtly passed down the generations. As for flattering women, from observation, most women do enjoy being complimented. I see this more general though; I would believe everyone likes being complimented, both men and women. Chesterfield mentions that women shape a man’s character, and with this I do agree. Well presented women give their husband a better image by far than sloppy and lazy women. Overall I would say Chesterfield’s idea are very concentrated, but we do see the diluted form nowadays.
