Jespersen

Well I am not sure even what to say about this article. Yes, it is a little dated. Yes, I believe that women are treated more equally then before. I feel as though Jespersen's tone was also quite negative in the section "General Charactertics." He brought in a lot of different studies with a lot of different names to help his point get across. I feel as though he was very one sided an example would be when he said, "....women on the other hand, had a number of domestic occupations which did not claim such an enormous output of spasmodic energy."

Does he really think that just because the women stayed home and took care of everything around the house she would have just as much energy as when she woke up in the morning? Apparently, he is only thinking about how men go out and work and their work means much more than a women's work at home.
