Men were supposed to make money to support the family and to represent the household. Women, in contrast, should stay at home to manage the household work, and look after the children and husband. The life of women was strictly restricted to the home. If the family invited a guest to a dinner, the husband would eat with the guest in the hall, but the wife and children usually ate in the kitchen. Now times have changed. Men and women tend to share the responsibilities of both supporting the family working on the farm. Therefore, women can enjoy many things that used to be the privilege to men in the old days.,Book 3-Unit 8,Example:,Listening,Listen to “Women and Society” and Task 1:Write down one of the examples of the sexist language Mr. Wright gives.Write down one of the ideas held by some men which Mr. Wright thinks is “nonsense”.Task 2: Why doesnt Mr. Wright think that it is an enlightened age as it is supposed to be?According to Mr. Wright, what would happen if women were in control of international negotiations?
