MEN VS WOMEN

(picture from the internet)

What is your opinion about the changes in the role of women in the family and in the world of work? Does discrimination still exist nowadays in the modern western societies? What do you think about the status of women in muslim countries like Iran, for example?

In the past women didn´t study and didn´t have employment. They only thought of the "toillets" and the moment to get married.
Today women struggle to have equal rights as men even thought they have a long way to go.
Society think that men are better than women. They also think that men have more habilities and more characteristics of leadership.
Consequently women have low payments and find it more difficult to get a job.
Today there are many people who still think that women are only useful to take care of the house, husband and children.

yes, women are discriminated because they have the worst jobs, they work longer hours.
they have to work at home and outside, take care of the children and the house and that is unfair. men should share the tasks.

In the past there was more discrimination because women could not vote, they were men's property. Nowadays they have more opportunities, but they still have a lot of work, because they have their job and they still have to work at home.

Many people think that the role of men and women in society is very different and don't acceept non-traditional women's jobs.
Women struggle to change roles and achieve equality between men an women.
The career woman is a recent phenomenom and sometimes men are better paid than women.
Normally, there are people who think that women are only useful to take care of the household chores and children, however this is slowly changing and women are becoming more and more sucessful in many areas:medicine, science, business, etc.

Hello Teacher!

Nowadays, there still is discrimination between men and women.
In some companies, men are better paid than women, for equal jobs.
Many people think that women are good at household chores and men at heavy works, but if a woman wants to have man's job, she will do everything to have success.
All we know is that women don't have same strength as men; women can't have the same tasks. Men and women can't be treated as equal, because they have differences, bur it isn't necessary to have discrimination!

There is much discrimination between men and women.
women are discriminated, because women earn less money than men.
woman is more much responsabilites: take care of the house, children and work,men only have to work.
Formerly the woman could not go to school while the man was.
Up till now woman could only accept job where men didn't play a very important role.
There should be a greater equality between men and women.

Since all times women suuffer discrimination at work and in society.
Women have many responsabilities: bringing up their children,talking care of the house and to work.
They do the majority of the domestic chores all alone.
Women have low pay is relation to men.
Women have more tasks to do, so some are unhappier than men because they work so much and receive less.
Than descrease discrimination should be greater equality between women and men.

For many years women were very discriminated against,(since very young)for exemple: girls couldn't go to school and then, when they grew up and become adults, they couldn't have a regular job so they stayed at home, took care of their children and the house.
We are in the 21st century but unfortunatly are some diferences between men and women, some women continue at home and don't have a normal job or when they work, they have a very stressful life and don't have time for their husband and their children, so they are accused of being bad mothers or wives even if they are great doctors or presidents, etc.
These diferences could be over if men helped more in the daily routines with the house and family!

Hi!!!

Women are often discriminated against in society.
Many women have been able to balance work and family but it's difficult to bring up their children and do the household chores all alone.
Other women work from home - Telework. There are many reasons for this: saving money, family responsibilities, flexibility and freedom. Women are the ones who benefit more from this type of work.
And the businesswomen that have a good career, often don't have time to bring up their children or do the household chores. Then their husbands help them.
Businesswomen are sometimes looked with suspicion from society because their family suffer with their sucess, as they don't have much time to bring up their children.

kiss,
Bye!

Hi! Here's the comment from a survival woman!...
Would men be able to cope all the stuff we do? Would they have the guts to be a woman, a lover,a mother,a successful hardworking woman,a housewife,a friend,a colleague, a citizen, a nice company, a great listener, a daily programmer so that everyone can survive in a house... and in the end, be lovely with a smile on our faces!

I guess nowdays, the ordinary sence between men and women roles, r becaming more 'n more flexible, i mean, people know now that men and women r the same thing, they have the same capacities of working, 4 instance, 'n the same capacity of taking some ressponsabilities; This thing - MEN VS WOMEN - it's a little bit "stupid", at least for me, 'cuz there r just men and women, so wot's d point of finding who's 'beta, men or women?! Isn't a lil' bit stupid 4 u people? It is 4 me! ...
