Read the excerpt below and answer the question, ...but it strikes me as true, that while our men seem thoroughly abreast of the times on almost every other
subject, when they strike the woman question they drop back into sixteenth century logic. They leave nothing
to be desired generally in regard to gallantry and chivalry, but they actually do not seem sometimes to have
outgrown that old contemporary of chivalry—the idea that women may stand on pedestals or live in doll
houses, (if they happen to have them) but they must not furrow their brows with thought or attempt to help
men tug at the great questions of the world (p 75).
Since Cooper's essay in 1892, there have been many changes in attitudes toward women. Write a persuasive essay of
at least 250 words, arguing that men have (or have not) "outgrown that old contemporary of chivalry."
