Question

1. Women are directly fitted for acting as the nurses and teachers of our early childhood by the fact that they are themselves childish, frivolous and short-sighted; in a word, they are big children all their lifelong...." --Arthur Schopenhauer, Studies in Pessimism, "Of Women"
Is this an argument? Explain why this is a problem question, and write a short paragraph justifying your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

this is a problem question because it pushes the stereotype that women are supposed to be nurturing and gentle. The text also uses very problematic language when describing the actions of women calling them childish, frivolous and short-sighted.
