Stein words only approached one general audience and that audience was middle-class, Caucasian females, in contrast to Faderman who attempts to speak upon the vast array of identities and intersections that encompasses the lesbian identity. The 1930’s onward were embodied by literature, movies, and plays, that attempted to share upon the general idea of how a lesbian must be perceived, mainstream perception of lesbianism came to be one of promiscuousness, sickness, and

Instead of doing it with a direct serious tone, satirist are using a more cynical and ridiculed but effective tone to show people about these problems.

Even though Judy Brady is woman, she wants a wife because even she thinks it will make her life easier. She wants to draw a picture in our head about what woman’s are for in those times. In this line “I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs.

Then, after talking to Jem and Scout about how people’s views in Maycomb were changing for the better, Maudie Atkinson said, “...it’s just a baby-step, but it’s a step” (289). The racism in Maycomb played a role in the Tom Robinson case with false views on race.

Swift uses satire throughout his proposal, by suggesting to the people of Ireland that they should harvest the little children of the poor. Swift stated that by making ‘‘Them Beneficial to the Public", Ireland would be in a better circumstance. Swift proposed that the poor children 's guardians should give birth to however many number of children as would be possible and offer them for sustenance. Instead of Swift addressing the issue straightforward, Swift used Satire ¬¬¬¬which employs irony sayings- one thing while meaning its opposite—in order to present an argument.
