| But we are capable of doing the job that a CEO does, among other jobs typically reserved for men. Yes, men and women are different. But that does not make one sex superior over the other. We do have traits that are meant to be complimentary. I for one have no problem with a woman staying home and raising children while the man works. And it should only be because it is what the woman has decided is right for her own life, not an inescapable choice that directs the entire course of her life. And it shouldn't be at the cost of the family's financial security. Sweden actually pays a salary to whichever parent decides to stay home with the kids. The problem I have is that we are devalued for our strengths. Our strengths are put down as just women's work or we are told that we are ONLY capable of being mothers and housewives, which is utterly false and completely ridiculous.
And physical strength does not make a man superior to a woman, it gives him the ability to use might over right if he so chooses. And that is why women have been placed in subordinate positions in the past. Not because it was the natural way of the world. |
