Why I (Still) Want a Wife

Throughout the years, women wasn’t seen as someone to have a job or rights to do things like men do and this is something that everyone knows now. They were seen as someone to have children, someone to cook, someone to do all the chores at home and someone who doesn’t deserve any rights. That’s how women were seen over the past years. Now the life that a woman has changed dramatically to what they used to have. In the essay “I Want a Wife”, Judy Brady is basically describing the ideal women that every man wants. Although women now a days do a lot of stuff that men do and they still aren’t equal to men. For example in Saudi Arabia if a woman is accusing a man. The court won’t listen to the woman unless is there is two women. In Saudi two voices of women equals one voice of a man. So in some parts of the world there is still the inequality between men and women. Along with that said, I believe that Brady is getting tired of the life she has. In the reading she explains that she wants a wife herself so she could go back and do a lot of things that she can’t do now as a wife and a mother. She wants to have a wife that could take care of the house, listen to her, care for children, and make her happy when she is sad. That’s what Brady wants in a wife.
