This article surprised me. I was shocked reading all the rules that women have to follow. I found it helpful that they compared most of the rules of following to western ways because it helped with comparison. This showed me how much freedom women have in the U.S and how little we have to rely on men to live. I was shocked to read that the women would have to ask their parent-in laws to go to the store. They are basically servants to their husbands and their husband’s parents. They are given no say on how their own life can play out and the fact that they are basically shunned if their husband dies is shocking. It’s not their fault so why should they have to pay for it. Lots of what this article entails is eye-opening and does not sit right with me but makes me thankful for the freedoms that I have as a woman.
