Yesterday in the "Listening and Speaking" class we listened to a conversation in which 4 people were involved: two women and two men. One of the ladies, whom I assumed to be older, believed that we still live in a male-dominant society and that men are chosen over women applying for the same job.
There's no doubt about the fact that we live in such a society; however, I argue for it and not against it, unless the ethic changes which I believe this hasn't happened yet. Of course to some extent it has, but not to a level that allows society patterns to be changed. There are families in which both husband and wife work to make a living, but still the man is the breadwinner of the family and the bigger expenses are on him.
I admit that there are women who can make more money than men but what is their more serious duty? Shouldn't women spend most of their time bringing up children? Who will be held responsible if a child is not well-adjusted in the society? The man or the woman? On the other hand if a family is not economically successful it's the man who has to answer, isn't it?
In my opinion running a family and bringing up children is a job itself; one of the most important jobs ever. I will be committed to it; otherwise, I will have betrayed my own society in the first place by not caring for its well-being.
At the end of the mentioned conversation there was an interesting hypothetical question: "If you were to come to the world again would you prefer to be a man or a woman?" My own answer is: "I'd definitely choose to be a woman again." What would your answer be?

Bull's eye! Precisely! Just the jazz! Can't agree more! Thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteI just hope that so-called "feminists" read your article.
Wish you the best of the best.
PS: since we're on an unwritten agreement to correct one another mutually, let me mention my suggestions:
1) apply FOR the same job ?
2) no doubt ABOUT the fact ?
3) the ethics changeS ?
4) BIGGER expenses ? (collocation)
5) "isn't it" or "hasn't he" ?
Regards and good luck.
