The reading for this past week were very interesting, I mean who doesn’t like to read as a sperm narrates the story. although I can respect Martin’s opinion and can even understand her position I do think that she has stretched a little. It was a time when women where like the fairy tales, women didn’t get value until a man made them valuable. I think that that fairy tales do not depict that image at all, I think that fairy tales make women seem import and valuable because princes and knights are fighting to for the hand of the women, the object of there affection. Yes you find that in some fairy tales the women’s character seems to be a damsel in distress, and the man comes to rescues her, but to me the man either get’s knighted himself or made to be some king, he always gets a reward, so to me fairy tales represent women as power and that women give the man value. Why else would men go through so many lopes and hoops to gain the hand of a women, in fairy tales and in real life. I just think that martin could have made her point some other way, even dealing with the biological make up of reproduction we all all know that the egg chooses which sperm if and will fertilize it and after all is said an done the eg does all the work similar to a man and women relationship.
