JUNE :: essays research papers

To Pay or Not to PayJune Stephensons passage is about how men commit the most crime in the States and women are still expected to pay their unfair share for male pursuit. June suggests that since men outnumber women ninety-four to six men should pay one deoxycytidine monophosphate dollars more than in their IRS returns. The author carries a chauvinist tone through out the passage and re each(prenominal)y fixates carried away when she starts blaming all men because we are all brothers. I strongly disagree We can not start pointing fingers and say men commit most of the crime, so men have to pay more taxes. I especially disagree with the statement that we all share the cursed for crime, because we are all brothers. How can she expect that us as men spud responsibility for actions of other men?The first reason I disagree is because why should men pay more tax than women, it is like saying if more Latino or black men are in prison Latino and black men should pay more taxes. Does a commuter that uses the expressway five or more times a week pay more tax than a person who does not commute to work and uses the pike five time in a year? Does a taxpayer with five children pay more school tax than a taxpayer with no kids? We as taxpayers get taxed according to our income not on how much we use tax money. Another reason I strongly disagree with Junes passage is when she says Your brothers are murders, inventory market manipulators, gang rapists, robbers, arsonists, litters, polluters, and child abusers. What? Women do not commit any of these crimes. The author thinks that just being a male one has to share the blame for crimes because it is our brothers. That is the most illogical and ridiculous thing, I have ever read in my life. Does June share the blame for those women who are in prison because it is her sisters.Finally I disagree about how men do not take responsibly for their contribution to the violence in this country. June says, This Country cannot count on its men to quicken its violent nature. Maybe not all men take responsibly for their contribution to violence but not all men are criminals, thither are many men who work hard to rectify violence. Imagine how violence would be if all men did nothing to rectify violence it would be a total chaos.
