Feminist Critique

I think the feminist critique is rather pointless. People are simply looking for something that is not there, and even if it is there who honestly cares. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that Chaucer may have been misogynistic, as most males of his time were. Women were subordinate to men during this time, that is simply common knowledge. Emily was objectified by Chaucer because that was the role taken on by women of the time. This does not make Chaucer a woman hater, he is simply following standards set by society. I believe everyone is well aware of a woman's role in the middle ages, including Chaucer, which is why is view of women is accurate. The feminists that view this book as morally wrong are probably right, but this is how the world was at this time. In fifty years we will look back and think that the gay rights debate is rediculous because the solution is very obvious.
