Women in a changing world:
Hello my readers! How was your past week? I hope all was well, especially my fellow students! Well, as requested from a reader of mine, this week I will be talking about ‘Women in a changing world’.
Women- I believe are just as important as men because, as they say: “behind every successful man there is a woman”. These fairly new ventures being undertaken by our world leaders to eradicate gender biased stigmas and let gender equality prevail is something I am very happy about. Not only will these ventures improve the social lives for women, but it will also eradicate all hazards women have in obtaining jobs and provide them with the justice and respect they deserve.
In times before, the key roles of women were to raise the children, take care of the family and manage the household. Now, women still manage to carry out these traditional duties as well as managing their professional work life. The life and endurance of women, especially those working and still managing the homes, is really commendable. Even those working outside the home only or managing the home alone display the strength and endurance found in a woman.
I distinctly remember a few English classes ago, that we were being taught persuasive writing, and while given the opportunity to choose what topic we wanted to write on, naturally the topic of ‘gender equality’ was brought up. A few persons in class were dubious about ‘gender equality’, and like a lot of people, they too believed that there should not be gender equality because a woman cannot to all that a man can (like the extra laborious tasks). Our teacher sat down and he explained to us that while a woman cannot do all that a man can, a man cannot do all the things a woman can do. So, just as my teacher explained to us, I’m passing on the message that women deserve to be treated fairly and not looked down upon.
So that’s all for this week, I hope you enjoyed it, but before I go- I didn’t mean to offend anyone, especially you men. I am just voicing my beliefs.
