Both “Why I Want a Wife” by Judy Syfers and the “Always #Likeagirl” video portray the same message through different means. Syfers writes about how women are expected to be almost like property or servants, available for any task at any time. The video uses a group of people to portray how the phrase “like a girl” is degrading. Even though they were written during different times, both pieces illustrate how females are still considered lower in society compared to males.
