Answer 2

Party Patches by Joseph Addison is an attempt to poke fun at a political phenomenon amongst women which  he eels is foolish and a gentle reminder to women of their appropriate  role in 18h entury British society. He referred to the sight of women at the opera with patches on their faces according to which political party--Whigs or Tories--they supported. Fashionable women during the first half of the 18th century, at least. In England, little black dots, usually one or two, were put on their faces as a fashion statement, according to the wearer's taste. These "patches" were meant to resemble natural, but very small, blemishes .  While at the opera, Addison notices that the women when he observed upper-class women applying “patches,” or artificial beauty spots, to their faces, accordingly were not only cosmetic but also had a political purpose

Explanation:.

• Addison points out the enticing political antiques of women in the opera in "Party Patches" and then flatteringly persuades them to behave on the basis of their gender's special virtue
• Women are using fake moles or patches, and the side that they place the mole on has political significance.  Those who patch on the right are Wigs, and those who patch on the left are Tories.  Those who patch on both sides are neutral.  
• The patched women now take side of the theater and the neutral women in the middle are quickly being recruited. The feuding political parties are in a cat-fighting war which is unhelpful to their own political party prospects.
• These women are swept up in a competition which is causing them to act below their virtuous nature for a cause which is unconcerned with their actions.
