Women's Right - Assignment

1.
I think the women's right is a very important in this society, or why are there many women on a lot of marches nowadays? Why do people usually think men can do the job better than women? But some women's ability is better than men, prejudice about women is ridiculous. In modern society, why are there still many phenomena? Ok, let's talk about gender inequality. Why does this happen? I think there are two reasons in the following.
First, it's a natural condition. Women have to bear new birth, and in ancient times, this would be a fatal shortcoming to women. Why? Because medical science was not developed enough, many women would die because of dystocia. In addition, men had to work outside, so they got a lot of social information. Therefore, they had the superiority to use politics, economy and education to set up the Code of ethic - "Men are Superior to Women."
Second is about the contrived cause. In other words, some of men are not close to women. They can't realize how women should be paid for the pregnant. Women not only are pain for the pregnant, but also can't work and educate due to giving birth to a baby. Although they have a talent to get a great jod, they can't excercise their speciality to the full. Men even use this hardship to establish unfair laws and systems to women.
To sum up, what should we do to help women overcome an obstacle about unequality gender? First thing you can do is to help them get rid of problems during their pregnant times. Therefore, they just have free time to get the educational opportunity. After they have their professional skills, they don't need to live on men. Thus they can rise their right in politics and education. Government should provide more and more job opportunities in order to fix this problem.

I think this phenomenon is not genetic problem. Although male is good at science and female is good at language, there must be some exceptions. In my point of view, this is about how hard you work for and it's your own chioce. For example, when you were a child, you were very interested in math and you always lent some books in math. Perhaps you will go toward math in the future. Practice makes perfect. Of course, you must do a great job in math. Who says women's strength is lower than men? There are some women have great strength. Who says men are more careless than women? There are some men are more careful than women. This is a stereotype and a gender discrimination. If we want to solve this problem, we will do some effort in our textbook first. There is no royal road to learning. We can't always say what men or women should do. It's all because of their own chioce. If they want to get a better life, they must try their best to do everything. No pain, no gain. It's not the gender business.

In these mass media, women are all dressed skirts and men are dressed pants. But why, there is no any laws to show men can't wear skirts. This is a gender stereotype. In the formal party, people feel women should wear skirts because skirts let women be so feminine. That is the common situation, so, of course, women can wear pants too. In eastern culture, there is no man to wear skirts. In western culture, the Scotch men can wear plaid which is a kind of skirt. Although there is few condition about men wearing skirt, we can't say all culture would not be able to accept it. Sure, this is a kind of global tide and it's also a style of fashion. We can't judge anything on it. No matter which style you put on, there is no doubt that men are always men and women are women.

Well, I think maternity leave is not enough in Taiwan. I heard about my mother said she only had six weeks off in maternity leave. That's a terrible amount. Let's see. Many companies always take their profit for the first place and maternity leave must be an obstacle to make company progress. This is a cruel society and the government just let these companies do such bad attitude to the pregnant women. They even ignore women's right and they just claim they will do more things to women during the election. That's all nonsense, isn't it? Why should women face this awesome hurt from pregnancy and inhuman dealing? In the first article, CLA proposed to encourage women to give birth and men can receive paternity leave and same amount of compensation. Why is it not enough? It's obvious that men's salary is usually higher than women. This policy just brings out how helpless women are. Women not only work for their living, but also face many kinds of inequality. They don't even have enough time and money to take care their health. That's why it si not sufficient. Government should establish laws about how to treat women well and how to reduce women's pain at work. For example, government can build some Nursery Schools and subsidize some enterprises to set up Day Care Center. I believe if they can set up these organizations, they will provide support for new mothers in Taiwan. It really works. but it must be done now.

Everyone can choose their what would to be in the future. So, just let the sexual stereotyping go. There is nothing we can't change.
