Welcome to the twenty-first century we are no longer in a world where men rule. Way back when most “normal” people grew up, they go to school, graduate, got into college, got married, get a great job, and have kids. That’s normal to society but what about a society that isn’t normal where people where kids get pregnant at young ages fall in love get married and then divorced.
What about all these questions that are being asked is it right for a guy and a guy to be in love or how about a women and women being in love? Now we are back at square one. What now? Times have changed for better or for worse. As our society changes so do people. Let us compare women and men. Men are supposed to support the family, be strong, and definitely be the hero.
Women are supposed to be caring, motherly, take care of everything, and of course be sensitive. Women have changed; they are, sorry, we are now strong and heroic. Women today have now stood up to men more than they have in the pass. Women today are taking the chance and take on the male role. I connect this with queer theory and feminist’s theory. For example, in the Color Purple, Ms. Celie finally gathers the courage and stands up to Albert or Mr.___ . Now that I have started Middlesex I see queer theory everywhere.
