The theories on what the role of gender does in society are countless in number‚ but Judith Butlers is widely known for the aspect of how gender and performativity coincide with one another. In her theory she talks about how the role of gender is defined by what society wants it to be and not what a person is actually.

Judith Jarvis Thomson’s defence on abortion Most arguments concerning the abortion issue hinge on the moral status or standing of the fetus with respect to the rights it possesses and the obligations that are directly owed to it.

essay. Although the expectations are confusing‚ girls have a natural aim to please and want to be accepted by society. These learned expectations are passed on from one generation to the next. “Virgins” by Danielle Evans and “The Story of My Body” by Judith Ortiz Cofer provide great examples of female expectations and how they shape girls’ lives.
