such a stupid dumb textbook

Honestly kind of mid so far but I do think the letters to a German friend have been the most interesting. he makes a good point about how full love and devotion to one’s country means one must be committed to justice

book hit wayyyyy too hard 😵

I feel like I see a lot of what she’s talking about with a “living death” in housewives today and how a life of housework is one devoid of any real passion and self-esteem

Friedan suggests companies produced (and continue to produce) products that glamorized the daily chores of the housewife, and kept her satisfied becoming the expert of her own home rather than the expert of science or perhaps engineering. she intertwines the demands of capitalism with the demands of the patriarchy; to keep women inferior in the home brings more products sold, and more men satisfied with their lives

okay so why did this book almost make me faint in class 😍

I’m actually sobbing this book is evil
