Title: Gender
Topic: Patriarchy
Analysis of Argument
Exigence: To lay bare the male dominated infrastructure of our society
Intended Audience: Women and men
Purpose: to shed light on the social inequalities between genders
Claim: The discrimination and prejudice women endure in modern society is greatly undermined
The degree of which women in modern day society are discriminated against are grossly undermined as such inequalities and double standards have been instilled into us as social norms. The truth is, women are still second class citizens in a male-dominated world. I believe prejudice against women to be greatly undermined. Yes, feminist advancements have been made such as women's right to vote, but I believe as a byproduct of this success it has actually inhibited further progress.
