Alexis de Tocqueville

Alexis de Tocqueville writes an interesting article about the differences between american women and european women. He explains that democracy creates a natural division between the sexes in America, that men must do the hard labor while women sit at home and run the household. He argues that this is what is natural and and what the sexes are meat to do. He believes our 'set paths' are what make America flourish. He acknowledges that women are respected and can be successful in america...but only in the designated field. He then describes European men and women, exaplaining a womans 'honor' in europe. Tocquville speaks european men and women being alike, holding the same job titles and rights. He explains that this has changed european women toward being less honorable. He believes european women less respected in regards to their sexuality. Tocqueville is a dip.
