Journal Entry #2

I think women were viewed differently back then, mainly because this land was always thought of as a man’s universe and women were always second-handed. Men didn’t believe that women can also be strong and had a voice too. They always thought a female had to stay in a females place, such as picking up after men, taking care of them and overall being told what to do by the male figure. I also think that it would be a man’s worse nightmare if he was defeated by a woman because men think they are supposed stronger and they make better choices than women. To men, women weren’t supposed to voice their opinions in some cases because they were to be kept quiet. The only priorities women had were religion and learning how to become a good wife in the household and I believe women can learn to do so much more than that. I didn’t like the fact that women were forced to be marry to someone sometimes they didn’t even know of, especially in royal marriages. I think that was because they didn’t want women to choose or disagree who they wanted to marry because once again they felt they their opinion didn’t count and they also felt it wasn’t necessary,
