-  On one spring day four black widow spiders (two begin male and 2 begin female) went
- up a tree in couples of the opposite sex. One couple was foreign to America, the other was not.
- They were all at their sexual prime and to do a mating ritual called sex. When the foreigners
- were done the male became very tired and all he wanted to do was sleep, but the much larger
- female spider flighty and talkative. She wanted to talk of their recent sexual experience, but the
- male was far too tired and told her to shut-up. Like all women she became “emotionally scared”
- and in retaliation she killed her much smaller spouse. Not exactly the June Cleaver type of
- spider is she? On the other side of the tree lie the American Widows. The female does not feel
- that sexually active, but she spreads her eight legs and submits herself in honour of her idea of a
- “greater male cause”. The fact of the matter is that the American woman never had the chance
- to fulfill their mission (which is inborn in all of man) to prosper in life, but they cannot do this
- seeing that they are confined in the kitchen, busy doing the dishes and saying “. . .yes dear.
- Would you like another beer?” The role of the American woman (which was to look after the
- man of the house and the house itself) is vividly exemplified through Linda Loman in Arthur
- Millers Death Of A Salesman. Of course Arthur knows all about the role of women in
- American society, how do you think his dishes got done when he was writing this play.
- Before we start to delve in the juicy core of this essay, let’s get one thing straight. An
- aggressive and eager woman makes a powerful difference in the evolution of society. Take Lady
- Macbeth from William Shakspere’s Macbeth. She did wonders for both Scotland and Macbeth.
- It’s really ashame that he’s own people decapitated him at the end of the play. Look at Eve from
- the Bible in the book of Genius. Good old Adam couldn’t screwed it up for the rest of mankind
- without Eve’s guiding hand. And look at the Mrs. Ramsay from Robertson Davies Fifth
- Business. Without her, poor Dunny probably wouldn’t have joined the army and he would still
- had his leg that he lost in the war. On a more serious note, women have been deprived to excell
- in such things as politics for example. I believe the world would be a better place if the women
- were running it. Oh ya, there would be no war, the estragon of a woman would take care of that,
- well, except when there PMS-ing or the older ones are having hot flashes. But there is a way
- around that problem. If the women organized it so there would be at least five to six female
- Presidents and the one that’s in power that’s PMS-ing would resign and go have visits intern -
- Monty Lewinsky while another President takes over. Furthermore there would be no world
- famine, except when the women are pregnant and there “emotional session” with Richard
- Simmons is over and he is out of there sight. It is indeed a fact that if the American Woman
- were to be treated equal to men (as they should be) I definitely believe that the world or America
- at least would have been a better place to live in, for the women would be the missing gap in
- most American situations that spaned outside the kitchen. Although they are not perfect like
- Lady Macbeth, Eve, and Mrs. Ramsay either are us men.
- Linda Loman from Death Of A Salesman is one of those women that would have been an
- excellent as asset to her family and others around her. She was disheartened housewife which
- fulfilled all the tasks of the usual American housewife - that which is central to accomplish the
- “American Dream”(which was a family with a financially success for a father figure, a caring
- wife that is responsible for cooking, cleaning, support, sex whenever the man demands it,
- children minimum of two which are of the opposite sex, a nice house, a nice car and of course
- that white picket fence.) To follow Linda’s example as she lives her life is to be considered to
- most Americans a prime example to go by. She is loving, caring, understanding and will do or
- say anything for her hubby - Willy Loman. If ever Linda gets “out of line”, Willy puts her back
- in line with a big old, “shut-up”, and she would try her best to do what he asks. When I realize
- how loyal and caring she is for her man, and how her man devalued her, just the slight thought of
- it gives me the “willies”. I get utterly disgusted when I think about it. Linda’s intelligence and
- insight goes far beyond that of Willy’s, but she never showed him that side of her, for if the
- American dream were to be true for the Lomans’ the man must be smarter than the female.
- Being influenced by the American Dream (by playing stupid infront of Willy) she was always on
- the outside looking in. When she was around her sons’ her insight on things shrines like the
- early morning rays from the sun, but when she is around Willy her vocabulary diminishes to,
- “Yes Dear.” or “what, Dear?” Knowing the problem of Willy’s insanity and suicidal attempts is
- bad enough, but under the American influence she is mentally hindered from doing anything
- about it. That’s quite heartbreaking.
- Behind every great man is a great woman - usually there in the back seat, but that’s
- besides the point. Unfortunately at one point in America the wisdom of women never went past
- that white picket fence. My interpretation of woman may be fogged with ignorance called
- testosterone, I personally don’t understand them too much, I find them to be too emotional, but I
- do know woman never have been treated with enough respect, an they get used as pawns for
- males to further there career. The male goes to his woman for advice, while she’s doing dishes
- or laundry or some type of housework of course, and the next day the man follows her advice
- and becomes successful. The man get’s all the credit and all the while the woman had been
- waiting to immolate herself “for her idea of a greater male cause.”
