In your own words summarize this essay's thesis.
The thesis of this essay is an objection over the name of this particular article of clothing which seems to support violence towards women.
According to Smith, what three problems are associated with defining the term wife beater?
The first problem is that although the name of this particular garment is fueled by stereotypes it is now academically established fact. Secondly there does not seem to be an exact pin point to when this term "wife beater" began to be associated with this particular item of clothing. Lastly there also seems to be many different origins to where this term actually came from each article describing how the term "wife beater" came to be an acceptable term for an undershirt.
Why does Smith include dictionary definitions of wife beater? How is her definition different from these dictionary definitions?
Smith include the dictionary definitions of "wife beater" to show a contrast between the to definitions how the could not be any further from being the same if one tried. Smith's definition of the term differs from that of the dictionary definition because she explains that the term "wife beater" gives the wrong impression about the men who wear these shirts.
Where does smith introduce possible objections to the definition of "wife beater". Doe she refute the convincingly?
Smith begins to introduce her objections to the definition of "wife beater" very early in her essay. She speaks on her objection to the term constantly. She explains why she object to the term as well as why others should object as well I aso believe that Smith refutes her objections very convincingly.
