Is this a good introduction with a good thesis??? " In Barbara Ehrenreichs essay " What I've Learned from Men" she admits " that there are some real and useful things to learn from men" (229). Although she makes some very valid points I do not agree with her argument. In my essay I will argue that men have more to learn from women, than women have to learn from men. "

It's ok...One problem I have with it is this: Ehrenreich, in saying "that there are some real and useful things to learn from men" isn't really saying whether or not women have more to learn from men than men do from women, or vice versa. And that's your thesis...so...you don't really seem to be arguing against Eherenreich so much as arguing against a straw man version of her argument.
