Read the excerpt from "the revolt of mother." her mother scrubbed a dish fiercely. “you ain’t found out yet we’re women-folks, nanny penn,” said she. “you ain’t seen enough of men-folks yet to. one of these days you’ll find it out, an’ then you’ll know that we know only what men-folks think we do, so far as any use of it goes, an’ how we’d ought to reckon men-folks in with providence, an’ not complain of what they do any more than we do of the weather.” the excerpt best demonstrates which emerging theme? society works best when women stay in particular roles and men stay in particular roles and the roles remain separate. society delegates equal power to both men and women in order to ensure the best outcome for families. society robs men of equal relationships with women by demanding that men take on superior roles in the family. society robs women of their power and keeps them subjected to the wills of men even when it’s not in their best interest.
