Week 2: Battle of the Sexes

From John Varley's "Options"

"... Don't be a man. Be a male, instead. The switchover's a lot easier that way."

  1. I like your quote and i totally get where its coming from in the story. Many women often feel the need to be a man for a day due to how society gives men the upper-hand and more rights. Women take on so many roles in life and sometimes feel overwhelmed. I remember hearing Beyonce's " if i were a boy", when it came out I totally got what she was trying to tell women even though it was a woman's empowerment song. When I heard this song I kind of got how Cleo was feeling in "options" and why it sparked her choice to change to a male!
