In the 1900s: Woman, where's my food?
In the 1910s: No, you can't vote
In the 1920s: OK, you can vote, but no smoking
In the 1930s: DOOOH - I said no smoking, but OK, if you insist
In the 1940s: Thanks for the "Dear John" letter. That's just what I needed here in this piss-filled trench
In the 1950s: I said, Woman where's my food?
In the 1960s: Woman where's your bra?
In the 1970s: Woman where are you going?
In the 1980s: Child Support? You make twice as much as I do!
In the 1990s: OK, The SitComs and TV ads have me convinced - we men really are doofuses. you win. I'll sit here on the Barcalounger™, being hopelessly irrelevant.

Johnny Cash - Delia's Gone
Delia, oh Delia
Delia all my life
If I hadn't have shot poor Delia
I'd a had her for my wife
Delia's gone
one more round
Delia's gone
I went up to Memphis
And I me Delia there
Found her in her parlour
And I tied her to her chair
Delia's gone
one more round
Delia's gone
She was low down and, triflin
She was cold and mean
Kind of evil make me
Want to grab my sub-mochine
Delia's gone
one more round
Delia's gone
First time I shot her
Shot her in the side
Hard to watch her suffer
But with the second shot she died
Delia's gone
one more round
Delia's gone
But Jailer oh' Jailer
Jailer I cant sleep
Cause all around the bedside
I hear the patter of Delia's feet
Delia's gone
one more round
Delia's gone
So if your woman's devilish
You can let her run
Or you can bring her down
And do her, like Delia got done
Delia's gone
one more round
Delia's gone
Delia's gone
one more round
Delia's gone

This song shows an example of violence against women. It states that of your woman is devilish you can let her run or take care of her, showing that men feel negatively against women, and when they "run around" a reply could be to kill her. Also, in one of the last stanza's the man begins feelings regret by "hearing Delia's feet."

You're my doll, rock and roll, feel the glamour and pain
Kiss me here, touch me there, hanky-panky
You can touch, you can play
You can say I'm always yours, oooh whoa

- Well, Barbie, we're just getting started!
- Oh, I love you Ken!
I'm pretty sure this is self explanatory, but yeah. It sets women up to be that infamous toy doll, creating them up to be an object of society. Also, the "doll" gives into whatever Ken says in the song, almost as if they were a slave. The song reached number seven on the U.S.'s Billboard Hot 100 in the 1990's

Document #3
The picture of a Barbie doll can be used to let the writer analyze the meaning and effects of the Barbie on their own. Barbie has been a cultural icon for decades, and has invoked endless controversies. The image allows the writer to bring up which controversies they wish, and which fit with their argument.
Document #4
A quote from Elizabeth Wurtzel
"The biggest problem that women have is being ambivalent about their own power, ... We should be comfortable with the idea of wielding power. We shouldn't feel that it detracts from our femininity.”
This is a woman's perspective of women. It can be used to show that society believes you should be "ambivalent about their own power." However, she reverses it to say that this is not how society should be. The quote is helpful because it offers a woman's perspective of how she believes their role should be in society.
Document #5
A statistic from the FBI
The FBI estimates that 72 of every 100,000 females in the United States wereraped last year. (Federal Bureau of Investigation, Uniform Crime Statistics, 1996.)
This gives a statistic about how many women were raped in 1996. It can be usueful to show that women are possibly the "weaker" sex, or that they are easily overpowered.
