13. A Lecture 1. The women would take the mens’ jobs, they would abandon the work of the home and benefit of the children. They were already doing the work prior to industrialization and the kids were just fine, referencing other nations as well. 2. There is an air of superiority of men over women in the, especially upper, classes of Egypt. 3. The work they do is only taking half their day, wishing for education to take the rest of the time, and the pampering they do of their children does not benefit them as they are sickly and weak compared to thise of the lower classes. 4. She considers them unfit for Egyptian men, not necessarily terrible, but they do the opposite of what should be done in their class situation and don’t encourage proper practices of the Egyptians’ upper class. 5. It relates the working and the education, but not so much the effects of the children, and not to the same severity, except when talking of clothing and covering. 6. It could have brought in equal working opportunity into the environment and, while the “women wouldn’t be as effective,” encouraged different treatment of women, if only slowly deteriorating the ideas that women are inferior.
14. Presidential Addresses 1. That she accepts that he has some view for fair pay and a square deal, however she notes the problem in his argument about the logical fallacy with blaming the women for their seeking when it is stems from health problems, lack of legislative participation, etc. 2. They do not want women getting their jobs and seeking an education, playing on a more equal field, because that has been “how its always been done” and men are responsible for taking care of problems. 3. They cant participate in legislation, studies, or note findings in official ways, essentially skewing what is found, and any work done of the behalf of and not by those effected are always less effective. 4. I see similarities in the response of men (common origin of thought, desire for social placement, etc). Also, a common desire of women for education and participation in the work force.
15. Fellow Countrywomen 1. Cold or distant relationships, especially with the father, since it is his decision to bind her feet (essentially, he binds the feet, even though it is noted it is usually the mothers that actually do it), and they are "eventually someone else's property." 2. Marriages are performed based on matchmaking, a third party that pairs two people often for the benefit of one family or another. The relationships themselves I would guess are pretty poor, since she says they should be grateful that she wasn't mistreated, or that if she was, it was retribution for past sins (wow). 3. To keep the women in their "place" as slaves, as the men were afraid of them becoming superior in the case of them being educated. Foot binding often kept the women being seen as objects of possession, as she notes that in their insecurity, they did it to please the men, slaves to their comfort and position. 4. At least some, because instead of challenging the men at the time that said women were less than capable, and the husband should lead his wife, they let it happen for their security. 5. The old should not think of themselves as old and useless, allow and encourage men to open schools, allow your sons to study abroad, and encourage your husband. Send your sons and daughters to school, but do not bind the girls' feet. For those that are young, go to school or study at home. For those that are rich, encourage school and factory building, charitable contributions, etc. For those that are poor, work hard and help your husband. 6. I think I addressed this one pretty well in the Blog Post #1
33. National Socialist Women's Association 1. Secondary, but made a point of specifying they are not below the men in their work, just not doing the same work of the man, in bearing children, educating, and caring for families, or factory work. 2. They should spread the work ethic and enthusiasm for the success of their country, a "national faith in [them]selves." 3. Whether educated or not, they should dedicate their work to their country and express the same humility with which women workers and mothers fulfill their duties. 4. Long, egregious hours of work that don't end once leaving the work place, as raising children is also a very difficult task. They try and alleviate this by training women that they must be proud of their work as to not exhaust them, as "my attitude determines the attitude of the nation." 5. They garner support easier among audiences that they help, it encourages the mindset of the ideal woman early, before they have set ideas of how being a mother "should be," and it also just makes the party as a whole look better with more support. 6. I would guess pretty successful, since in the introductory passage it said until the end of the war she had no power, and during her speech (obviously going to be more positive than what actually happened) she was working to encourage *younger* people.
35. Letters 1. +Living conditions and cost are not fit for having a child, unwanted/unplanned children bring problems into relationships, jeopardizes the educational pursuit of young people, and abortions can maintain, or help somewhat preserve the normalcy of life. -Child birth isn't a "private matter" (wait what? It... isn't?) and it is harmful to the woman. 2. Housing conditions are *terrible* and I mean abysmal. A set of people unable to find a single room? Living out of a hostel is a normal thing, and even then can be a problem? Wow. 3. Its strenuous, especially on the mother. Considering living conditions, working conditions, and the stated problem of declining birthrates I can't imagine it being at all positive. 4. To encourage the idea that people had a say, and opinions were being heard. If they shut it down, it would look bad not only to the locals, but everyone, which I doubt is what they wanted.
36. Amanda Labarca (I really liked this one) 1. Second class, "slaves to their men," respected only for her place as a help, and very religious. 2. The economic needs of the family unit. With the creation of efficient machinery, cost of living increased, and women were required to join the workforce for living's sake. Once women were in the workforce it just logically evolved into the garnering of rights and social equality (progressively, of course). 3. Respect from men, marriage, and family creation. 4. I don't really know. Is it her talk of the "wall and ivy" in which they are very different, incapable of being comrades? 5. Yes, she believes that you can't revert, progress backwards, only move forward, and find new problems to deal with after the original problem, so that implies this will be addressed and eventually they'll move onto something else.
