the power at the palm of HIS hands

I think sweet summer and the wedding are stories that tell the readers about some discriminations happening to women in terms of authority because in both stories, the men are the ones who are in authority (at least in sweet summer because the guy in the wedding had a stroke). The man (older brother) in the story “Sweet Summer” told his younger brother why he’s dating that ugly girl. Then he told his brother to follow him so that he can introduce his brother to the real chicks. In that story, the older brother sets his young brother’s mind to not go out with ugly girls. It’s like men tell who they should go out with. The husband in the story “The Wedding” is the bossy type who restricts his wife to go out and party. Women don’t like that much because all people want freedom but women can’t do anything because they’re afraid of their husbands.

Here in the real world, discrimination really happens. Discrimination between races, skin colors, sex, job, sickness, and even in physical appearance. Terms like “nigger”, “a man’s job” and “bitch” are all parts of discrimination. Some people don’t even know that they’re discriminating people, which is bad for them also because they might be in trouble. But in the story, the discrimination is in between men and women. Men always come far more superior than women in most stories. In most stories, they have elements like the damsel in distress and men will always rescue them.

The most simple and possible solution to discrimination that could happen is to be careful of what people say to each other.
