Argument

Orenstein argues that schools need to being to include women as equal members of society. Schools and there male dominated curriculum need to include women heroes in order to foster equality in life. Also being aware, to not exclude males to make them untrusted and disengaged.

This article written by Orenstein is an article that at first i was unsure where she was going maxing gender and racism. But I came to understand that she wants inclusion, inclusion that helps boost young girls self esteem. This is important according to Orenstein. However the article also lets us know that there should be a good balance. She tells us that many guys are turned off by Mrs. Logans style because it is all about women. An example would be the 8th grader who films. Or the girls in her class saying they don't like it either. Showing that already males take precedence in their lives as dominant figures. We as a society need to create more equality. And men also need to not be afraid of change and of the idea of women with total equality and to accept them as such. And for example Hillary Clinton. Men still refuse to vote for her because of the face she is a woman. It is something that needs to be worked on and changed in order for our society to move on.
