You Are What You Say
You are what you say
The essay, " you are what you say " is written by Robin Lakoff, a Professor of Linguistics at University of California. She has explicated her view on how English language has functioned to revile and debase women, why women are thought to be juvenile, dependent and frivolous species. Certain views which makes fair sex less thriving than men. The subject is of great interest as it illustrates that women only say what they mean, but what they say is inferred by men in a pejorative way which is disparaging and condescending. Lakoff has radical thoughts and strives to change the degraded vision of women; because such a vision is not based on reality, but on the fact that men interpret everything that a women say or do as immature. The author herself is a woman, but that in no way clashes with the context of essay, that is she is not biased. She has written this essay for everyone, but he main focus is to change th point of view of men regarding women.
The author has used more logic than evidence to support her argument. The thesis clearly depicts what the essay is going to be about. Lakoff has failed to establish any sense in Para 2, she discusses a situation which vilifies both male and female. If a man talks in a girlish way he is equally likely open to criticism and ridicule. He might even be considered as an eunuch. This is because whenever humans see something deviating from normal than that behavious becomes exposed to mockery. So whenever male or female act in a way which is unconventional and strange they are ridiculed and this affects people of both sexes. In paragraph 10, the author has deduced a true repurcussion of the phrase tag question, that explains why women language is polite and respectful, and the command that women give is actually a request.
The essay is well organized but there are certain issues in organization. Para 4 is not relevant to the topic because it doesn't support her argument, in the paragraphs that precedes
