     In the article "I Want a Wife" by Judy Brady, Brady is a wife and a mother but inspired by a friend who recently was divorced, decided she would like a wife as well. (2) A wife would take care of the children, bills, house cleaning, cooking, listen when needed, goes shopping, plans events and will please sexual needs but will respect when she is not in the mood. Brady would also like to be able to leave said wife for another if she finds a wife more suitable than the current. (10)

     In the article "Men----It's Their Nature" by Christina Hoff Sommers, Christina talks about how society wants to change male behavior that may deem harmful to others.(10) Using personal experience with her own son, and scientific studies, Christina believes, along with others, that how boy grow into men stems from hormones. Trying to take away the masculinity of men by giving them dolls, and girly books, Christina says, will not accomplish anything positive. (4)

     Choosing between the two articles was not an easy choice. "I Want a Wife" by Judy, it made me more mad than actually enjoying the article. Which is why I am choosing it. "Men----It's in Their Nature" did not really spark my attention. I understood the point, but I really didn't feel anything towards it. I think it will be easier (and probably hair pulling) to write about "I Want a Wife" because I felt an emotion, compared to nothing.
