Andrew Albrecht Fifth Post

I felt that the article provided a good illustration of the problems women have gone through in a societal perspective. As a white male I never really experience the problems that are faced by social minorities such as women or African-Americans. This does not mean that I am not aware of the problems or that I don't care about them, I just haven't lived them. The article certainly is a good freeze frame of the time period and is able to show the perspective of society back then. Many of the ideas in the article seem outdated, such as the opinions some had about women and college education. Nowadays this type of derogatory thinking would not be acceptable, feminist thought has definetly made quite a bit of progress, but there is still progress to be made.
