Henley & Freeman. The Sexual Politics of Interpersonal Behavior. 88-93.

Description:
Male privileges and superior status is seen throughout society in all aspects. (Pg 84-85)

Analysis:
Women become inferior to men that they don’t know their status in society but they are constantly being reminded that they work under the man. (Pg 84)
Male doctors operate while female nurses assist. (Pg 84)
At lunch time restaurants arepopulated with female table servers who wait on men. (Pg 84)
Dominance is shown by having more space. Women yield to men when coming into close proximity. (Pg 87)

Vision: “Implied” Women don’t have to conform to society and become submissive. (Pg-91)

Strategy: “Implied” The author believes that women need to express their feeling through verbal communication with the opposite sex. Also they can use behavior that gives them strength even if it’s not associated with women. (Pg 91)
