Looking at Women post

The author of this piece does a good job of presenting the inquiry question of why does the world look at women as lesser human beings to men in the way of the 3 basics of well written inquiry questions. The first piece of the 3 way method, personal and auto-biographical, is addressed immediately in this essay. The author starts the essay off with an anecdote about when he was younger and had his very first experience of looking at a girl more as an object then a person. This is a powerful note due to the fact that, at the ripe young age of 11 years old, he was already putting women down unintentionally. The second piece of the method, facts and concrete information, is addressed by talking about products in our daily lives that put women at a lower standard then men. One example he gives are large posters of models. He explains that the posters are clear proof that men simply want to look at attractive females. The poster itself cannot communicate or show personality, but this market is still a huge draw for men to dump money into. The third and final aspect of the method, poetic and human experience, can be seen on the last page. The author gives many examples of metaphors and symbolism to explain how the world treats women as lesser human beings and objects in comparison to men.
