women, second-class citizens?
women won their independence years ago. after a long, bitter struggle, they now enjoy the same educational opportunities as men in most parts of the world.
but the hard-fought battle for recognition is by no means over. top-level political negotiation between countries, business and banking are almost entirely controlled by men, who jealously guard their so-called “rights”. even in the very progressive places like switzerland, women haven’t been given the vote. women continue to be regarded as second-rate citizens. women are said to be unreliable and irrational. they depend too little on cool reasoning and too much on intuition and instinct to arrive at decisions. they are not even capable of thinking clearly.
in fact, women have succeeded in many jobs, as politicians doctors, university professors, farmers, company directors, lawyers, bus-conductors, scientists, etc.. and we must remember that they frequently succeed brilliantly in all these fields in addition to bearing and rearing children. in conclusion, women have proved repeatedly that they are equal and sometimes even superior to men in many fields. the women should not belong to a different species.
