"men don't like their wives to drive because they don't want them to be in control."
"men don't like to go to hospitals because they don't want to be weak. .like women."
There are two problems with this. One it is about society. A big part of society in the USA. That ignoring it leads to the red state win. That I am aware that I am not like that. That anyone I chose to spend time with is not like that. But I am aware that it is not the case with all men.
But the stariotipes are true in there are people like that. And everyone from the 1950 is still alive and making policy. We wont realy have a chance to be in control of our socity untill we are all like 50-70.
your teacher is from a different generation as us, so her generalizations are partially true, but a good teacher would include the current changes in society over time. as far as her saying she is making generalizations because "most" men behave this way, shes judging "most" of the male population without ever meeting them, which is incredibly ignorant, unless of course she has met most of the men in this world, in which case i retract my previous statement:) personally i think that feminist are not that different from chauvinist.
