    morality in the world generally‚ and the daily upsurge of immorality even among children of a very young age is the result of the woman throwing away her values‚ throwing away her place in the home and throwing away her dignity.

    In my own opinion‚ having no woman president in United States is caused by different factors and not because of a sole gender inequality.

    Journal 2 I give Hildegard props for such a bold and unapologetic piece. I like and agree with her outlook on the conditions of a union between a man and a woman. She states that it should not be “vain” and later goes on to say that there should be “a perfect love in these two”. She also expresses that a man should not leave his wife unless the church allows. Today‚ this level of commitment is not so easily found‚ especially when we see so many affairs and emotional cheating occurring between couples

    American woman that is representative of the women of this time period. This song utilized a black woman to both appeal to the free-spirited figure that women craved to be‚ but also to alert them to stay in line for the men.
