If we take any society in the past we see that men have always dominated the world with the women playing secondary roles. It is only recently that women have seized for themselves some equality. In most countries around the world, we see women in the same positions as men. The traditional, submissive roles of women as wives and mothers is being challenged. Women are claiming equality with men. Should this be?
At first time it seems that this is as it should be. However, we do see that men and women are different- at least physically. It would be a sad day to see women being introduced in large numbers in the battle fields as soldiers. If they do this and refuse to be mothers, then the world will be a mess. The reason is that someone has to be at home and do all the important task of looking after children. All over the world today, we see that more and more young people are turning to crime and drugs. Is it a coincidence that this is happening at the same time as women getting away from their traditional roles of mothers and wives? I believe that both sexes should be equal with regard to rights. For example, women should be entitled to education, to vote and to hold important appointments. However all this should never be at the expense of the home. We must never have a situation that women and men are in the same place, competing while no one is minding the home. That will bring about the destruction of the world.
Men and women are certainly equal but in the role of fathers and mothers, though we do recognize that both are equally important, men and women have different roles. Each is not able to replace the other. In this there should not be any competition.
