She illustrates many different emotional appeals when it comes to women an the profession that we always get labeled into doing. For instance, teaching, she drew a comparison, that if all men were teachers, maybe teachers would get paid more. Valenti draws attention to the small issues, such as women in the workplace period. The government feels that men should be the breadwinners, while women depend on them. The Government makes it harder for women to get out of poverty when they create a significant pay gap between men and women. they feed women with distractions so that we don't focus on these types of discrimination. Jessica Valenti also talks about "Goldiggers", like landing a man is a woman's main goal in life. But with all dating shows and magazines, it has been shown that all women want want in a man is the gifts, dates, and the ring,big expensive ring. Young women are being taught that you can measure love in dollars. Jessica Valenti does not want us to think that way, she wants women and young women to do what feels right and not what everyone tells you is right.
