who wouldn't want a wife?

1. i think the thesis is implied, the author is trying to say how rediculous is that the wife is supposed to do all of the work around the house, assume the responsibility of raising the children and tending to her husbands every need, and if her husband isn't satisfied or he meets someone he likes more he can dump his wife off witht the kids and move on.

2. By using the repitetion the author objectifies "the wife". Treating the word like a commodity rather than a person.

3.Im sure some people would want that kind of spouse, but i dont think Brady does. Im sre this type of spouse exists somewhere in a sad house hold ran by a lazy, selfish man who cares for nothing other than himself. I think Brady wrote this essay to show how gender roles in a marital setting can be a bad thing if taken to the extreme, like they were in this essay. I also think she dislikes the way women are viewed as objects to cook, clean and raise the children while the male goes to school and hangs out with friends.

4.She defines wife as the mans maid, she organizes the wifes responsibilities as follows; to tend to his every need, she first says the wife must take care of a mans physical needs, followed by raising their children, then she must entertain his guests, tend to his sexual desires and finally give up her job to raise the children while the man joins the work force. I do not like Bradys cahraterication of the wife, i think she wants her readers to have a negative feeling after reading this.

5.dear brady,
In response to you "i want a wife" essay. I think you did a wonderful job of portraying a the proper mistreatment of a wife. In your essay "the wife" is the mans servent and tends to his every need. I believe you are describing what you believe most men would want their wife to be like. I liked how you started the essay describing your ideal wife and what her responsibilies would be. Its a very eye opening essay. You descibe the wifes role in a way i feel most people would never want to be treated, if more people read this hopefully happier marriages will result, and men will take more responsiblilty their marriages.
