In this section of readings, one part that really caught my attention was on page 32 from the pdf version stating, “his wife was probably more severe than himself-it was almost impossible for the slaves ever to give her entire satisfaction.” This part made me realize how much has changed throughout history. It is so absurd to realize that women did not support one another in those times because their appearances was different. I would think that they would feel a type of sorrow to see men doing all forms of brutal punishments to other women, however it is evident that they are worse than men. They have used their power for opposite reasons to go against their own gender.
It is so pleasing to know that although there are women that seek hatred for other women, it is not as severe in today’s time. For example, on social media there would be many hateful comments under a famous person’s page, but there would be more supportive fans that are not afraid to speak their minds and correct them.
I believe that if we as women cannot support one another, we will only be seen as inferior. We should not look at each other differently because of our races, religion, or ethnicity, but to build one another up, instead of tearing each other down.
