Located on the ground level of Adele Lehman Hall, the Barnard College Archives was founded in 1963 as the permanent repository for the records of the College from the 1880's to the present day. The Archives documents the history of the College from its founding in 1889, with the earliest records dating from 1883.

Last week, we discussed the history of marriage and the fact that love was not involved until the turn of the century. When you think of a loving relationship/marriage, does it include any specific actions of each of the partners? Do the ones included here make sense to you. What was your initial reaction to this video?

Watch the clip below. Thinking of the place of women in relationships and how it has evolved over time, do you think things would be the same today without the invention of the pill? Were there other social changes that were just as important or do you think this had the greatest impact?

I think nowadays there are plenty of people who break rules like this and get no reprimand.  This rule is not stupid to some extent.  I would say for the her to be expelled after just getting a low punishment is wrong.  Go with what you first do don't change..

# data[].attributes.body
I would say some of these are just common things like when meeting the family for the first time looking good is just apart of it, for both sides not just the women.  Also for both genders it would be good to just stay clean because how many people want to be near someone who smells real bad.  It is imperative that each partner do their share in each of these things that I mentioned otherwise it is too one-sided and who likes one-sided people.

# data[].attributes.body
When thinking about loving relationships/marriage, there is indeed a certain set of actions that partners must follow.  First and foremost, both partners have to respect each other.  A healthy relationship cannot thrive on toxicity.  In terms of niche roles, men and women have to work together to support each other and their families (if they decide to have children).  For example, financial stability is crucial whether it be the man who works or the woman.  Even though back then it was men that worked and the women took care of the chores in the house, society has seen scenarios where the roles are revered.  Each partner has to ensure that they are both benefiting each other in a loving and caring way.
The action included in this video were from times where society was very traditional.  This is how a successful nuclear family was developed.  It would make sense that during these times that men and women filled certain job roles that they "naturally" acquired.  However, times have changed and we are stepping away from this traditional way of life.
After watching this video, I had some thoughts. I feel the women in the video were treated like slaves. Women had more expectations of them in society and had to follow a set of rules. That should not be the case as women are independent people and should not have to be bound by their male counterparts in society. It is a good thing that women stepped away from this way of life and offered more to society in terms of labor forces and economic contributors. Its crazy to think that a lot of women just went along with this way of life and did not complain. This demonstrated that they were very loyal and devoted to meet certain expectations society bestowed upon them.

This story is unreal. Even though the college pupil broke the housing rules, it stirred up a situation that was blown way of out proportion. Who would have thought that her simple actions would generate a huge uproar. I feel as though the college administration as well as the reporters took this story out of context. The girl simply wanted to live with her boyfriend and broke a petty housing rule which resulted in her being expelled. The girl was indeed wrong breaking the rules, but she should not have received this harsh punishments for a minor infraction. It is also crazy that this generated a lot of emotion from other students as they wanted change to transpire. Something like this now could not happen as many people in college break housing rules every day. If they were to get caught, they should receive minor punishments depending on the severity of the situation. Also, officials and news reporters do not have to get involved in a petty situation like this unless there was something bigger going on behind the scenes.

Without the invention of the pill, things would be completely different. There would be more pressure on a woman to refrain from sex and to resist her urges. Women in society would also feel a lot more anxious because they want to please their partners, but would have to do it at the expense of her fears of a unwanted pregnancy. We would also see a lot less women in the workforce as they will not feel a sense of independence that the pill provides. In addition, there would be a lot more accidental pregnancies. This can cause many complications. For example, increase medical costs (abortions) for women and subjecting more infants to group homes. It is a good thing the pill was invented to refrain from all these problems. There were a lot of social changes like the development of the feminist movement and women's rights activists playing their part in spreading change. The pill was indeed a huge contributor to giving women their independence and freedom.

1). In chapter 6, we talked about women and their sexuality.  My question is, were the ideas of what is considered "sexy" or appealing different than it is today?  Are there at least some similarities?
2). Why is sex today treated differently than it was back then?

# data[].attributes.body
1). Do you think nowadays that places like work are a bad place to look for someone or do you think it's normal to some degree to find someone via work?
2).  Do you think some of the things women were to told to act/do are still things that happen now or do you think it's mostly all in the past?

Honestly this video just made me mad. It felt very pushy and controlling as to what a woman "should" be. Some of it made sense to some extent, such as the "shower so you don't stink" because obviously good hygiene is important, but the way it all was presented felt very "women have to do all these arbitrary things to be perfect otherwise they won't get a man and therefore or worthless."

# data[].attributes.body
I'm confused as to what the problem was. If LeClair found a loop hole in her college's current housing rules in order to live with her boyfriend, then good for her. I don't see why she should be punished because she didn't break any rules, she found a way around them. Furthermore, if the college really didn't want boys and girls living together, then the college is more at fault for overseeing their loop holes and allowing LeClair to live with her boyfriend in the first place.

I could see something similar to this happening now. I'm sure there are still loop holes and ways around college rules that students find and the colleges aren't happy about

# data[].attributes.body
I definitely think the pill had a major impact on women and relationships. I think the pill gives women more control and power over their own bodies, therefore giving them more right to their own bodies. I think the pill was a great invention and had it not been invented, I think there would still be some fear of unwanted pregnancies.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think what was considered "sexy" in the past is still considered "sexy" today?

Why do you think there's so much stigma around the pill, i.e. those who take it are "immoral" or that it promotes sexuality?

# data[].attributes.body
When I think of a loving relationship I do believe that each partner needs to participate in certain actions. For example respecting each other is huge you can't be in a relationship with someone if they aren't going to respect you. Another is being patient with each other. The video made sense to me because it was old and from back in the day when it was normal for the wife to stay home and cook and the husband was suppose to work. In today's world it isn't like that anymore in most relationships both partners work. But when it comes to the actions that were shown in this video I remember one saying 'Don't talk to much" I feel as though that isn't practiced today because it shouldn't matter whether you talk to much or to little you should just be yourself. I knew a lot of things that they said in the video did happen back in the day so I wasn't really surprised when I watched it.

# data[].attributes.body
After reading that The LeClair Affair I felt like they punished her a little to much. But at the same time she did break a rule and if you break a rule you are going to have to deal with the consequences. I do feel that this could happen today in colleges and it probably is. A lot of college aged students are in serious relationships and want to either stay the night with their partner or live with their partner. So I can see students breaking the rules to be with their person. I don't believe that it is right to do and I don't agree with breaking the rules but I just have a feeling that it is happening today.

# data[].attributes.body
I do believe that the pill has a major impact on women and relationships. If it wasn't a thing relationships would be very different I think. I feel as though it could go either way if the pill wasn't invented either there would be much more unplanned pregnancies or the sex rate would be down. This would lead to relationships being very different.  With the pill being a thing I think it helps women feel better about themselves and more comfortable in their relationships. It definitely lowers the stress level of worrying about being sexually active.

# data[].attributes.body
In Chapter 6 we talked about women and sexuality. What things to men or women today find "sexy" about women is it more their looks or their personality?

What do most college aged girls think about being on the pill? Do they think it is a good thing an it lowers stress levels or do they disagree with it?

# data[].attributes.body
While watching this video I feel as if it pushed women as stay at home moms and not having a life for themselves. I feel as if both partners in the relationship need to do their part and not just leave it for the women to do. Obviously yes women do these things my mom cooks cleans, but she can also do what she wants and not live up to these "pushy needs". My initial reaction was is this what men expect women to do?

# data[].attributes.body
Following reading the LeClair Affair I feel as if her punishment was very extensive, expulsion for her first trouble is crazy. Yes she does deserve consequences for breaking a rule, minor consequence is what she deserves. With her rule breaking creating a series of events show that many people didn't follow the rules and wants a change to happen. Yes, this definitely could happen now. It's crazy with the rules University's have that they don't look out for. With todays Pandemic happening students must be following the rules to prevent another global outbreak but people in long term relationships wanting to spend time with significant others, may be breaking them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think things would be completely different if the invention of the pill wasn't a thing. Young girls would refrain from sex and there would be a decrease in sexual relationships through out teenage years. Or it could be uprise in teenage pregnancies. I think with the invention of the pill it made women feel way better and more comfortable with sexual relationships with their partners.

Where is your ideal place to find someone?

What are some things you think are to extent women are to do? Do you agree with the first video and believe women should do all of that?

# data[].attributes.body
As a young lady, who recently started a new relationship, it is to my understanding and my personal beliefs that in order for it to be successful, there needs to be a balance between my boyfriend and I. We both need to respect each other not just as a couple, but as people. I am lucky to have been born in a society where women are more respected and equal to men (for the most part). With that, I have a very strong personality where if my boyfriend disrespects me, or mistreats me, I have no problem standing my ground and standing up for what is right and what I believe in. From the video, at that time in society, those actions do make sense to me because it was nationally accepted to treat women like objects and to force them to do whatever it takes to please the man of the house or just a man in general, no matter how absurd it seemed. My initial reaction to this video was me being dumbfounded. It is nearly impossible for me to believe that this is how women were seen and treated. It is absolutely ridiculous that women (the ones who birth the children of the world) were seen as nonimportant figures and worthless if not tied to a man.

# data[].attributes.body
My reaction to this incident is that I was very surprised at first. During those times, it was clear that that kind of behavior was wrong for a woman to do. However, I do have to agree with the school to an extent because she did break the rules, they were stated clear as day, so as a future educator, I would be a little disappointed if there were no disciplinary action enforced, even coming from a woman. In today's society, with this specific situation, this would not happen. If a college student wishes to live off campus with a partner, they are free to do so. Now I am not sure if the same goes with private colleges, but I know public ones do not force students to live on campus. In other situations like Covid-19, it is essential that EVERYONE follow the restrictions and regulations to keep us all healthy and safe. Unfortunately, we all know that most people choose not to do this.

# data[].attributes.body
1) In regards to women and our sexuality, is there a specific agenda men still want women to follow even today? Is there a way we should act in order to be found "attractive?"
2) I am very interested to know a male's perspective on the first video regarding how a woman should act and dress around a male figure at home or on the streets.

# data[].attributes.body
If the pill had not been invented, I would believe that the world would be extremely different than it is today. The invention of the pill was as said in the video, a "revolution for women." This allowed women to be given a choice and chance to explore sexuality but also have the freedom to pursue what they had wanted without the risk of an unwanted pregnancy. Also mentioned in the video, this sparked more women to attend college in the future, which is also very vital to our society today.

# data[].attributes.body
When thinking of a loving relationship, I believe there needs to be equal parts of love and respect from each partner. Relationships can be successful when both partners are treated equally. However, the video portrays the older version of relationships and way of life before. We have come from a time where men were treated superior to women. Society has grown from this time allowing for equality to women and men for most circumstances, and previous examples like this video have shown just how far we have came.

# data[].attributes.body
My reaction after reading this is that the University's rules were uncalled for and I expected many people to break them. Obviously when breaking rules there are consequences, so on their part I don't blame them for overall punishment. However, the punishment she received was too extensive and the rules should have been reviewed before she got expelled. It was clear many other students agreed with her. I can see something of this nature happening at a University today as far as breaking rules and the rules getting changed after.

# data[].attributes.body
Without the invention of the pill, I think life would be completely different. There would not be as much casual sex going on and I think people would be much more conscious about when they start having sex and who they have sex with. I also think the invention of the pill was a very important invention that allowed women to gain more individuality and freedom.

# data[].attributes.body
1) Was the a shift in the views from the 60's to the 70's? The time periods shifted in may aspects going from "we" to "me." Did that happen surrounding love and relationships or did they have continuous views throughout the decades?

2) To an extent, how did birth control go from men not wanted women to take it but women wanting it, to women not wanting to take it but men wanting them to?

# data[].attributes.body
After reading, I feel that this was taken way too far. I believe that everyone makes mistakes and breaks rules, especially as college students. Having punishments for breaking rules is necessary but I feel that there needs to be some kind of warning first before skipping to a huge punishment. There was a group of students who also agreed that the punishment was taken way too far. With the world we are living in today and all the rules in place I strongly feel that students at Stockton can go through something similar. The difference is that today, the rules are so strict right now for health and safety issues.

# data[].attributes.body
This video seemed very general to me. A lot of things discussed in this video were things that have and will be done in relationships forever because they are the respectful thing to do. Looking and acting your best when meeting your significant others family for the first time stuck out to me the most, wanting to make a good first impression is something that will never change. In today's society I feel that a relationship needs to be 50/50 though. Both partners need to have equal love and respect for each other. In order to have a loving supportive relationship both partners need to be willing to work with each other to make the other happy.

The invention of the pill has changed women's lives forever. The pill gives women control over their bodies, this is not required for all women to be on but, having the option to take it has changed women's lives. Being able to have access to taking the pill takes away the fear of having unwanted pregnancies. The pill gives women more confidence and ease after making the decision to become sexually active.

Having a healthy relationship requires on both partners to trust and respect each other. Respecting each other thoughts/opinions and feelings. Trust each other without having any doubts. This video made me think of what women use to do in the 40's and 50's. Dress properly, don't argue back, and don't get to emotional. Some of the things the video said I do agree on. Like making sure you shower or eating properly in front of other people. But it did made me think: if women couldn't express their anger, how did they control it? Sometimes I get mad and when I do I just want to be able to let off some steam.

How did a college student and her boyfriend became national news?! This is a situation that happen on school grounds and it was her business, put out all over social media. She wanted to spend time with her boyfriend and she was expelled. She could not even finish her college career. The school could've kicked her out of the dorms or give her fine.

I think the invention of the pill was a good thing. We would of seen many young girls with early pregnancies. Made girls feel a bit more safer to have sexual relationships. It could also prevent girls from getting a sexual infection.

My reaction to the video was that it gender equality changed so much. The one that got me was women shouldn't be emotional and shouldn't talk about it. Women like to talk about their feelings, but instead they are supposed to push that aside and forget about it. It's like punishment.

# data[].attributes.body
My reaction was shocking. A women wanted to spend time with her boyfriend in her dorm, which is her privacy and her business. Also, the incident being aired out was unnecessary. What really shocked me was she was expelled from school. I understand it was a rule but taking something so little to an extreme thing is uncalled for.

This video revealed how women had to act a certain way to get a man to marry her. I believe that in a relationship, you have to be equal. A women should be able to get emotional in front of her man and vice versa. In the video, I agree with the showering part and keeping the lingerie clean. That's stuff someone should do even when you aren't in a relationship. Nowadays, woman can be who they want to be and don't have to act a certain way to just please men. Today, we can please ourself without a man.

# data[].attributes.body
When I think about a relationships, I think about partnership, and the love and respect that is given to one another. And personally, I think being in a relationship means trusting one another with vulnerability when it comes to our thoughts and feelings. And to see how the video suggested for women to not too much kind of bothered me. And I reacted this way because I think communication is key to anything, whether its a friendship or relationship. But times have changed, and I am glad that we have progressed as a society where women do not have to follow these circumstances and behave this certain way anymore.

The fact that LeClair was expelled for this shows how antiquated the housing rules were at Bernard. She wanted to spend time with her boyfriend and I don't see anything wrong with that; however, we need to understand that each generation has different opinions among certain topics. I see something like this happening today because teens/adults like to break the rules and be with their boyfriends in their dorms. We're young and we have to take risks.

# data[].attributes.body
If the pill wasn't invented things would definitely be different for women today. The pill was a great invention that allowed women to decide for themselves and their body. For young girls who don't want to have babies yet and for women who don't want to have babies at all. They had control over their decisions with this pill. I believe this had the greatest impact for women. For instance, they wouldn't have to go through the dangerous procedure of aborting a child.

I feel like in a relationship/ marriage everything should be equal. I think the part where they say in the video not to show emotions is wrong because sharing your emotions to one another is the key to a healthy and stable relationship. Also your looks shouldn't matter either a person should love you from what there is on the inside not the outside. Overall my first thought on this video was that we obviously don't follow those rules anymore and we have different ways of thinking than before.

# data[].attributes.body
Nowadays people break housing rules all the time even if if alcohol reasons or having people stay in their dorms with no permission. I feel like her punishment was very harsh and there was certainly no need to expelled her, maybe just a warning that is she does it again she we'll have to face the consequences. Also I feel like we've come a long way because now you can dorm with people with the opposite sex if you have permission of a parent or are over the age of 18 I think so the rule is kinda dumb.  But overall college students break rules and rules will be continuing to be breaking and there's not much you that can be done about it.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that if the pill wasn't created women of today would be scared of being pregnant all the time. Having the pill has been one of the best inventions created in my opinion not only because it helps with menstrual cramps and regulate your period but it helps to prevent pregnancy which is something all women at a young age are scared of. If it was me I personally don't want a little me running around the house at such a young age and if that was the case I would have to give up everything that I had plan in life to take care of a baby and I wouldn't want that to happen so that's why I the pill is essential in this world.

When I think about a loving relationship, one that I'd like to one day have, there are actions that I would find synonymous with that, all of which account to a mutual consideration for each other. For instance, equal (appropriate division of) house work, making time for each other, little things to make each other smile, ect. The biggest issue I take with the actions in the video is because how, obviously sexist, one sided the action are, all telling women things to change about themselves in order to appease their man. The only two actions in the video that seemed relevant to me would be, "removing BO," which I would rather consider as taking care of personal hygiene, and "eating right," both of which are more important to do for you than it is for your significant other. However i would hope my partner would want me to stay healthy and take care of myself as much as I know I do.

# data[].attributes.body
When thinking about loving relationships/marriage, I believe there must be actions that  partners should practice. Respecting each other, in my opinion, is one. That would mean showing thoughtfulness, consideration, and attentiveness to your romantic partner. However, I believe in any relationship with another person you have to show respect to that person. The video shows how society, in the 40’s and 50’s, expected woman to behave in regards to seeking relationships or keeping a “good” relationship with a spouse. This video did not make sense to me, as I could not believe PSA’s like that were even broadcasted. In my opinion, the video was very sexist towards women.  The video honestly made very mindless suggestions on how women should act and did not portray women in a positive way.

# data[].attributes.body
My reaction is that it could have gone a different way. The punishment of the girl being banned from the cafeteria and social events was a little too much. If the college she attended had a no co-habitation rule on campus, then she should not have broken the rules.  However, if she was living off campus in a private apartment, then I personally do not see anything wrong with what she did.  If she was living in a private apartment, I do not believe she should have been punished and certainly not expelled.  This could probably happen today only if the university had a policy in place that stated no co-habitation on campus. If a student knows this policy and still agrees to accept admission, then the student should expect a consequence if the policy is broken. I believe universities today have taken certain measures to offer a variety of housing options to attract more students.

I think so, the pill can have a certain impact on women who are in relationships. The pill, used as a contraceptive, can give a woman the power to control when she chooses to start a family. In many cases, the pill is not always used as a contraceptive but it can help to regulate a woman’s menstrual cycle and lighten the menstrual flow. In the video clip the pill is portrayed as giving women a self-confidence and power to their bodies and having the right to control their bodies as well. I believe allowing women to have access to the pill was one of the most powerful social changes for women in history.

This video while edited well, is arbitrary nonsense spoon fed to women of the time to make them compliant in miserable heterosexual marriages. If this is love, I'd rather be lethally injected to finally get it over with. This "advice" has no bearing on anyone because it exists purely to shame women. The creators of this video do not care about your hygiene or your health-- they care about marrying women off. Walking on eggshells is not a healthy relationship.
What the hell is a healthy relationship anyway? I can only think about them in idealistic ways. You know like talking out issues, breakfast in bed, sharing responsibilities... but that stuff doesn't always happen, at least I've never seen it. Hopefully a healthy relationship has love at its core and is built on teamwork. A shared taste in music doesn't hurt either in my opinion.

Everyone has their own views on love, marriage, and relationships, everyone views the specific action when they are already in a relationship or “hooking up” This video seemed un fair to woman, to be acting a certain way for their husband or any potential mate, A woman should dress how ever she wants even if it is or even if its not to impress someone else, also woman should have free time to relax and not be forced to do anything

I do not live on campus, I do not know the rules that are set for this university, but if people are coming out asking for the administration to re-evaluate rules because they seem “unfair” then something should be reviewed and changed.

Without the pill, I believe people would have learned the consequences of having unprotected sex, that is not saying there are wrong things about it, but if you are not ready to have a child, are you really going to risk it?

Jesus Christ, how dare a young woman live with her boyfriend on a college campus. Give me a break! What anti-feminist bullshit this whole situation is. She broke a petty housing rule to live comfortably with her boyfriend and no one should care. Not a single soul. How about we focus on the segregation on the Barnard campus, huh? This story only got traction because a young woman did it. I'm sure men at Columbia snuck in girls all the time and didn't face any of these harsh punishments let alone expulsion. Why didn't Linda's boyfriend face any punishment? Wasn't he just as compliant? This couldn't happen today unless it was part of an Onion article. Hell, I let a boy sleep in my bed the first week of college and no one gave a flying fladoodle. As long as your roommate is cool with it there shouldn't be such a holier than thou predicament.

Marriage is something that should be respected, as well as the people who are involved. Both partners should be faithful and considerate of one another's feelings. The actions in the video did not make sense to me. They seem out dated, such as putting on nicer clothes from the day time to look well rested. This is not to say a couple cannot get dressed up for a date night every so often. The video clearly does not hold up nowadays, seeing that women have a more important role than pleasing their husbands and looking pretty.

# data[].attributes.body
my original reaction to this video was that some of it was just the standards that society saw on women. A lot of it is still accurate today. Marriage should be a balance and both partners should be able to communicate what is expected of their significant other. The examples given in the clip make sense for a different generation, but over the course of the years things change. Not everything is based on appearance, because personality is more important.

Forgetting Covid for a second, I think it is perfectly fine for a boyfriend to sleep over a girlfriend's dorm and vice versa. However, I do not think that it would be in both party's best interest to actually live together on campus, especially if roommates are involved. If a boy lived in my apartment I would feel uncomfortable to do things I normally do, like walk around in a towel after getting out of the shower or not wear a bra. Girls and boys just live differently, most of the time that is. I'm not saying it never works but I just think it is smart to keep boys and girls in separate housing. I do not think she should have been expelled though. A simple punishment could have been to just have her move out.

The pill has saved countless women from being trapped in unsavory relationships with men. It's not to say that you can't leave a relationship if you have children, but it's a helluva lot easier when you don't. The pill has allowed for sexual freedom and for women to have or not have children on their own terms. Had the pill not been invented I'm sure we would've seen a rise in population and teen motherhood. The condom can't save us all. I can tell you for certain that it definitely wouldn't have prevented people from having sex and thus reproducing. Though it has its issues, I truly believe that the pill is one of the greatest inventions in modern history.

This story leaves me mostly with  aggravation. I have always failed to really fathom the control and right to control, large institutions have, or have had, over independent  persons personal life. Linda's relationship, and choice to live with her long time committed boyfriend, should not be at regulation of an educational setting, when it's not affecting her education. It also implies a lack of control of young people to not fornicate at every occasion, also that that is the only reason to live with someone of the opposite gender.
I have lived with at least one male for the last three years of college, so I know that this is something that, is less likely to happen no, and co-ed is more accepted. That's not to say it's impossible, but that school would definitely struggle more now in their justification than Barnard did.

1. Did free love actually prey upon women?
2. Has the birth control pill also been used by men to guilt women into sex?

I personally am not on the pill but i certainly do not denounce people who are on it. It is a woman's choice whether she wants to have a child or not and I think relationships would not be the same today if it had not been invented. If an unwanted baby was conceived it would've been aborted, adopted, or brought up in a home where it wasn't wanted. I do believe that you cannot just cross your fingers and hope for the best though. If you are not ready for a baby, preventative measures should be taken, even if it is not the pill. I cannot think of any other social changes that had much more of an impact on society.

2. Do all guys want their girlfriends to be on the pill?

I personally think that the pill had the greatest impact on the sexual revolution and awakening of women in America.  The pill finally allowed for a relief of fear from unwanted pregnancies, and a life that is dictated by a mistake. It finally allowed for more control over their own reproduction. Something that, even today, has been a hot topic, as regulations on abortion and reproductive care are floated around. That is not to say that the pill didn't come with its own issues and stigmas, but overall it definitely improved women's sexual freedom, and lead to various innovations of similar contraceptive devices.

1. Do you think the school would have come down as hard if it were a man who's enrollment was at stake?
2. Do you feel as though you are/need to "market" or "advertise" yourself to find a partner?

When I think about a relationship, I think of partnership. I feel as though each partner should love and respect each other. Also the relationship should be on 50/50 balance. In addition to that if they have a kid the mother doesn't have to be a stay at home wife. She can work like a man is working. They are figuring out what they are going to do to support the child. In the video I agree with certain things like showering and keeping the lingerie clean.You always make sure you're fresh and clean. That's men and women. I disagree with always looking good for dinner with the fam. I disagree with that because you don’t need to look for a good time and it’s your house.My initial reaction of the video was that this is the ideal look society has on women.

My reaction to this was that the University was extreme with the punishment.Yes she did break the rule she deserved a consequence but to a certain instant.  Yes it’s happening now because of covid-19. We can’t let anybody in our room. The only person can be in there is your roommate. If you break that rule there will be consequences.

I honestly believe ever relationship is different and comes with their own boundaries and rules set by both partners together. I feel like it is hard to give a set of rules for all relationships to follow because every single one will be different and each couple will have to face different obstacles. Along with that I feel like everyone may want something different out of their partner which is why each individual in a relationship may have different deal breaker that other in a different relationship may not care about. I think what is important is that you work with your partner and as long as you aren't trying to change who they are to fit the image you have in your head you will be able to maintain a good and healthy relationship. On that note I disagree with this video 100%. First of all, I don't think it is fair that only the women are being told what they need to do in order to keep a man. First of all not all men want the same thing nor do the same thing bother them. I am sure not every husband cares so much about his wife dressing up for dinner. I think the pressure put on women to make themself perfect for a guy back then was not fair and disgusting. Like I said before I feel like people should only do what they feel comfortable doing in a relationship and marriage. Things shouldn't be done specifically for the other person but for yourself to make yourself happy first.

If the pill was never invented I feel as though women wouldn’t want to have unprotected sex because of the scare.It would be less stress on women about being pregrant.

After reading the article, I believe the punishment given to LeClair was very harsh. I understand that there are consequence to everything, especially because she broke a housing rule. And I am not trying to justify her actions because I do not think what she did was right, but I do think that the severity of the punishment given to her was fair either. Instead of expelling her, I think they should have given her a warning or a minor punishment. I also believe that I could see this happening in any University today  because many people tend to break rules, for instance, like the housing rules that are set for students in Universities to follow due to Covid. But many students take them lightly and break them instead. And I am sure they will figure out a way to not get caught, but if they were to get caught I believe the University would make the rules less inflexible for students to break in the future.

Without the invention of these pills, times would be so different now then they are. We would probably have many accidental and unwanted pregnancies, which would lead to many abortions and adoptions. But because of the pills, many women feel secured and confident in their sexual relationships, as well as it gives them a sense of confidence in their bodies as well. And as there were many important social changes, this definitely plays a huge role in them because this impacted many women's movements and rights as well as it has impacted history and our society today.

1) When birth control became reliable for women, men would "daydream about treating sex harmless and fun", and I was wondering if men to this day still think and feel this way towards sex just because pills exists?

2) Due to the harsh punishment that was given to LeClair, I was wondering if it were the other way around and a boy would get treated the same way LeClair was?  Would he be given this extensive of a punishment, for breaking a simple rule?

I believe that she did deserve some type of consequence for breaking the rule no matter how dumb the rule may seem to me. However, I do believe it was also taken too far. I believe that students in college should be free to make their own choices and are old enough too. The fact that this college treated the girls so strictly is a problem of its own but again she knew the rule and broke them. Now if it was that she found a loop hole around the rule then I believe that would be the schools fault. Her punishment should have been smaller than expulsion. I believe something exactly like this may not have been treated the same now in this exact context. I believe now and days once you are in college, you are treated like more of an adult with more freedoms and the school does not care as much as they use to about supervising the students and being strict. However due to covid, right now there are rules set in place regarding housing that I could see similar repercussions for. I know of people who have been kicked out of housing for having people in their room. But again this is due to a virus and to keep us safe and has nothing to do with genders living together.

I believe that the invention of the pill has changed women's life forever because it does give women more freedom with their body. I do believe it lead to people being not only more open to premarital sex but also lead to more unprotected sex. Its changed our culture and views on sex being ok amounts younger generations or not. At the end of the day, I believe that it should be no one else's say whether a female should take the pill or not other than her own. Its her body and what she chooses to do with it should be totally up to her and doesn't require the comments or opinions of anyone else especially a man.

When I think of a loving relationship/marriage it includes equal actions of each partner. Both people in a relationship must put in effort to be understanding of each other. They must also each be as supportive as they can and communicate. Also it is important that both upkeep their personal hygiene and most importantly don’t feel the need to change and feel comfortable being themselves. Overall, the actions stated in the video do not make much sense to me. And in all honesty seem ridiculous, as they feature many very harsh and unnecessary expectations for women compared to men. Notably, the rule that suggests women to keep to themselves and stay quiet. Also, the rule that tells women to not get mad because it will trigger and ruin their partners mood. Overall,  the efforts said to have to be taken for a successful relationship are too one-sided. The women seems to have to be submissive and upkeep many things to satisfy the man. And the man appears to be the the judge of the women’s efforts in the relationship.

When I think of a loving marriage/relationship it must include loyalty and respect from each of the partner. It is hard to be in a relationship where you care for someone and don't respect your partner. It is not "love" if your partner flirts with another person or cheats. If you are not able to be with only one person, then you shouldn't even be committed in a relationship or even get married. The ones included make sense to be to a certain extent. I think a female should be able to dress however they wan't. It is important to shower and wear clean clothes. I can agree with that. My initial reaction to the video was that some stuff that were mentioned I can agree with but other I don't. This reminds me of the video where the two women were giving. dating advice.

# data[].attributes.body
When watching the video, I thought that women back then were forced to do things that didn’t want to do just to get/ keep their man. They weren’t even allowed speak their mind because speaking to much would “destroy the charm of the meal”. They had to dress perfectly, shower and look presentable during dinner just for the men. They had to stay at home and look after the kids and made sure that they were well behaved. These things don’t make sense to me. The person you love should be willing to listen to what you have to say without getting annoyed. And nobody should be forced to dress perfectly just so that somebody else will like them, it’s their own decision. Showering and getting rid of body odor isn’t just for women. Hygiene is necessary for both men and women. I believe that every relationship is different and different couples need to contribute differently to make things work.

I was shocked when I read that LeClair got expelled from her school. I understand that every school is different and has their own set of rules and that is totally fine! At the end of the day, she knew the rules and most likely there would have been consequences. She could have prevented this, but I can understand where she is coming from. I think there could have been a different consequence other than this. This does happen today because people living on Campus are not allowed in each others rooms.

I do not believe that things would be the same today without the prevention of the pill. I believe that if the pill were to not exist, more females would be pregnant. They would even be more afraid of having any sexual intercourse because of their fear of getting pregnant. I can agree with the fact that the pills makes females feel more confident about not getting pregnant. I believe this has been a huge and great impact for females. There are so but benefits from being on the pill and I am sure a lot of females can agree with this.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall, I think that the University could have handled the situation better. They did not have to expel her but could have simply gave her a warning. Especially because they did not have specific housing rules in place against the particular arrangement she set up. Also, this situation seems very unfair as it really only points blame and mainly focuses on her. In all, it seems like the school has double standard when it comes to the way they handle situations with guys versus their girl students. Also, it seems like in general at the time rules applied unfairly to guys and girls. As LeClair points out that, " all-male Columbia had no such rules."

Do I think this could happen now? I think that this could happen now, but I feel like it is less likely to be an issue. As majority of Universities have set co-habitation rules  appropriately to respect student's personal decisions.

I do not think things would be the same today without the invention of the pill. The pill has definitely empowered women as it has allowed for them to set themselves equal to men. It granted them less pressure of the decisions they decide to take with their own body.  And allowed women to see themselves with the ability to do more than childbirth. Moreover, as they now have more control over their fertility, the pill has allowed them the ability to set career goals that set them to have financial stability, and independence. Overall, among other social changes, like women's voting right, I definitely think that this this had one of the greatest impact.

1. In chapter 6, Playboy advertised that " in the new age of abundance, men could enjoy the pleasures that the female has to offer without becoming emotionally involved. " Currently, where do you feel the majority people stand in regard to in what terms it is okay to have sex? Do you think most people in this age believe that in order to have sex there must be an emotional bond?
2. How do you think that life would be for women if the pill were never invented ?

# data[].attributes.body
My initial reaction to the video was a little surprising. However, the logic in this time period was for women to serve their men. This is why men worked and women stayed home and took care of the house and family. I think that in a loving marriage it is required to respect one another and communicate with the same energy/lingo. I also believe that relationships have roles but can be played on either side. For example, women can work while the father stays home. I don't believe in any, "specific," role for men and women.

I think without the invention of the pill, life would completely different than it is now. The pill has changed women’s lives for the better. It’s a very important invention because it gives women more control and freedom over their own bodies. Now women can engage in sexual activities without the fear of unwanted pregnancies. Not only does it help with unwanted pregnancies, it also helps with the menstrual cycle.
