40hurts…turning the Nudie Bar into a coffee house,” and differentiates betweenmasculine and feminine activities. Al’s statement is sexist since he thinkswomen are nonsensical beings that only enjoy talking all day long.Jefferson, Al’s neighbor and friend, finishes off this sexism by stating, “ifthese demands go unheeded, not only will we force Jerry to watch hours ofPro Wrestling…but we’ll force him to watch them in these,” and he pulls outa stinky yellow undershirt and boxers with ‘It’s All Me’ written on them. Hiscomment shows that women are not only not allowed to watch wrestling, aman’s sport, but also that women find it tormenting to watch. The dirty shirtand boxers add to the fact that men believe that women are only allowed tobe dressed up and clean. Although this time Al adds some sexism againstmen with the shirt and boxers, he still categorizes what women are allowedto do and allowed to enjoy. Women are herded into doing activities thatmen want them to, but they are also herded into taking care of thehousehold for men.Along with the fun activities that men and women enjoy there is alsothe housework to take care of. More often than not women do a great dealof that housework on their own. This problem also has an affect on theactivities and social lives of women by giving them less time to enjoy themthan men. Eagly and Carli show this same situation in the voice of presentdaywomen working in the workforce when they state, “while menincreasingly share housework and child rearing, the bulk of domestic workstill falls on women’s shoulders” (158). In their article, they consider thisproblem to be a barrier against women succeeding in the workforce, but itcan also be considered a barrier against women moving on up in life.Nowadays, many women are not staying at home and instead go to work formost of the day. Peg goes against this present-day norm by being a stayat-homemom, but she still goes out for most of the day to keep herselfbusy. Attacking both working and stay-at-home mothers, Al declares, “that
41was a great year…women were in the kitchen…guys like you were in thecloset,” when talking about the year 1952 during a phone call with JerrySpringer. This statement is a double whammy of sexism since Al thinkswomen should stay in the kitchen and no one should stand up for their rightsat all. Al looks past the lives of Peg and working women and only worriesabout being fed home cooked meals. Even though women do not want to betreated as slave cooks and usually do not have time to cook all day long, Alstill believes they should be treated as such. Continuing this householdsexism, Al states, “you gals want a ladies night, try having it in the kitchencooking for a man,” while making his first demand for women. He does notcare at all about the social lives and freedoms of women and does not wantthem to have fun. With all of these remarks about the rightful role ofwomen, usually considered to be cooking in the kitchen, Al almost holds agun to the heads of women worldwide. If his “hostages” do not do what hetells them to, he will be forced to “pull the trigger” and make their livesmiserable. If that is not sexism, then I do not know what is. And if thatsexism is found in popular culture, that is a truly scary thought for me.Women are always under the watchful eyes of men and if they try todo anything they are likely to be punished harshly. In “Women and theLabyrinth of Leadership,” written by Alice Eagly and Linda Carli, this is madevery apparent in the working world for women. The television show“Married…With Children,” starring Al Bundy and his family, generalizes thissexism against women for all parts of their life, especially in the episodenamed “No Ma’am.” Based on the comments made this one episode on thebehavior, activities, and responsibilities of women, it can truly be considereda radically sexist show. In a much broader view, this show brought thesexism in the United States to a whole new level. It makes the sexismsound funny when it truly is not something to laugh about. Accepting of thesexism makes it only spread further and deeper into daily life, and that is
