Sommers argues in her essay "Men Its Their Nature" that society is trying to promote sameness between the sexes and that to do so goes against the genetic make up of a male, Sommers says "the entire anthropological record offers not a single example of a society were there is sameness between the sexes" (367) She is also trying to to get her audience convinced that we should instead start empowering "healthy masculinity"(367) things like codes of honor and good sportsmanship and live up to the male stereotype.
Judy Brady writes in her article "I Want A Wife"(360) that men think of women as things that do not have feelings or motivations but instead are responsible adults that should remain faithful to their husbands. Basically what Brady is trying to say is that she feels that wives are the most responsible members in the household and that they shoulder all of the family's needs and then some.
I chose to write my essay on "Men Its Their Nature"(Sommers365) because i felt that it had more to say. Now dont think im sexist, but i feel that in Sommers article there are issues that i would rather write about then in Brady's. For example that society is trying to make males have more feminine qualities.
