There is not areal equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a man-dominatedsociety. Women had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely. Women’s place was in the kitchen andwomen’s work was housework. In many places, women were not even’ allowed to go to school. Womenhad no rights, even the right to choose husband for themselves. Men usually occupied high positions insociety so they thought they were more intelligent than women. Men often considered women as theirproperty. Sometimes, they were mistreated by their husbands and suffered the problem as a fate. Manyparents did not even want to daughters.Despite the progress, there remain outdated beliefs about women’s roles, traditionally passed downfrom generation to generation. Men are commonly seen as the strong bodies, bread-winners in the familyand key leaders in society, while women are restricted to being housewives and child bearing and care, andhousework such as washing and cooking.According to social surveys, many women in the 21st century still have to work over 12 hours a dayincluding working in offices and doing countless household chores without any help from their husbands.In some regions, the labor of women is not recognized despite the hardships they endure to support thewhole family. Moreover, women are the direct victims of family violence, especially in rural areas.Thanks to the women’s liberation movement, nowadays women have proved that they are equal tomen in every aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles than an average man but she may be asintelligent as he is. Women can do everything that men can, and women can do one thing that no man can:they produce children.
