Introductory Paragraph
Hook: There are far too many reasons as to why women are not able to achieve everything they would like to in their life.
Background Information:
Men Do More at Home, but Not as Much as They Think- Claire Miller
The Truth About Children of Working Mothers- Denise Cummins
The Motherhood Penalty vs. the Fatherhood Bonus- Clair Miller
Thesis: In the article “Why Women Can’t Have It All”, Anne Marie Slaughter points out that women can have a family as well as a successful career, however her article leaves out the disparity in work/life balance, household work, and the negative effects a working mother may have on her children.
Body Paragraph #1
Topic Sentence: When men do not pick up more household work women are left doing more work at home which in turn makes them have to cut back in their professional lives.
Supporting Details
Women are now working more but men are not doing more childcare and household work (the costs of motherhood are rising)
Challenges masculinity (gender equality’s final frontier)
Some men do more paid work after they have kids(motherhood penalty vs. fatherhood bonus)
Dads did 5 less hours of housework and moms kept the same amount they had to begin with(men do more at home but not enough)
Concluding Sentence: As time goes on women are increasingly working in a professional setting rather than being a stay-at-home wife and/or mother but men have not kept up with the changes.
Body Paragraph #2
Topic Sentence: When a couple has a child together the mother typically picks up more work around the house.
Supporting Details
Women worked 21 more hours and men worked 12.5 more hours (both paid and house work)(men do more at home but not enough)
The extra work women did was not in place of anything else it was supplemental but not for men
Mothers spend 13.9 hours a week on childcare and fathers spend 7 hours(Men do more at home but not enough)
Concluding Sentence: If fathers did their fair share of household work the mother of their children would more likely be able to excel in their job and get to where she would like.
Body Paragraph #3
Topic Sentence: Even if women are able to find the work/life balance that is ideal for them they will still expericance discrimination at their place of work.
Supporting Details
Effects start from when a woman starts showing to the early years of motherhood(pregnancy discrimination is rampant)
Negatively affects a woman's paycheck (pregnancy discrimination is rampant)
Pregnancy discrimination claims have risen (pregnancy discrimination is rampant)
Concluding Sentence: With the Pregnancy Act in place that kind of discrimination is still very wide spread.
Body Paragraph #4
Topic Sentence: Women not taking the adequate time off for maternity leave has the possibility of negatively effecting her child.
Supporting Details
41 percent of adults say the increase in working mothers is bad for society(the truth about the children of working mothers)
Infant daycare is not good for the baby(the truth about children of working mothers)
Concluding Sentence: As some mothers would like to return to the workforce as soon as possible that may not be ideal for their newborn baby.
Concluding Paragraph
Restate Main Idea: With more women working paying jobs men have not balanced it out by picking up more work around the house.
Sum up the significance of each aspect of thesis:
Men are not doing enough household work
Pregnancy discrimination is still very prominent
Women returning to the workforce too soon can have negative effects on her child
Concluding Statement: Although Slaughter pointed out some issues that society can improve on there is still much more that needs to be changed in order for women to “have it all”.
Feedback:
Excellent work, Sara. Your thesis is succinctly phrased, and your outline is cogently structured. So good work there. As you go on to write this, remember that this essay needs to be grounded in Slaughter's argument. So for each section you will need to use a specific reference from Slaughter's article to pin point the flaws in her argument. It is a good idea to reference where she does acknowledge these points. Slaughter does mention that her partner's support allowed her to take the job in D.C. So she does reference how important a supportive partner is, yet states that without changes to policies in the workplace, women still face obstacles to balancing work / family. You might find that Dorment has more flaws in his argument that relate to the holes you pointed out. Of course, you do not have to change authors -- that's just a suggestion. However, you should point out where Slaughter acknowledges the issues you bring up and then showcase how there is still a hole in her argument.
