Women should be restricted to work connected with

The given statement might have been correct long ago,
perhaps till the end of the last century In so far as the
family was the unit and the bringing forth and rearing of
Trang 2children rested on the women’s shoulder, her place was
always relegated to the home She played many roles,
none of them demanding She was the housewife, mother,
manager of the household and the first educator of
children Her minor role as a knitting woman or a
washer-woman was recognized but not mentioned
Those days are gone, and nobody who is educated and
civilized looks upon woman as a doll to be kept at home at
the will and pleasure of men folk Of course there are
exceptions in certain societies where the in-laws play a
Trang 3dominating role With the education of women and the
change in economic status, women are enjoying a lot of
freedom There are many up and coming women in the
world in recent times Women are in politics today and
some have gone to become prime ministers
There has been strong resentment among the women,
about the way they have been treated There is the
women’s liberation movement called Lib Women One of
their major platforms is equality of status, equal pay for
equal work, and the security
Trang 4Some old societies still treat women as chattels who could
easily disposed of In very primitive societies even today
women are treated as a commodity which could be bought
and sold, and even loans are raised on the security of
women These are far and few between At the other end
of the scale some women want complete freedom to live
as they please They want to have freedom of sex and do
not want to be bound by wedlock This is only extreme
view and not so common even among those who
vociferously cry for women’s freedom
Trang 5Women have all ling been treated as a weaker sex The
connotation changes from person to person Physically of
course they are not hardy as men but that does not mean
they do not have a strong heart In fact, they are stronger
than men in certain aspects in that they are able to stand
physical hardships In their make up they are equipped for
certain nature’s ordeals which men are not subjected to
Whether they like it or not, generally women have more to
do with children especially in their infancy and early
childhood This makes women distinctly different from
Trang 6men; their being soft and kind need not be taken for their
weakness If they appear weak sometimes, it is to
maintain the dignity of family life, so that children do not
become a bad copy of their mother Motherhood is so
sacred that trying to tamper with it in the name of the lib
movement would make society wild and disorganized
Women’s finger of accusation in the matter of employment
and security is correct There are jobs and jobs, but only a
few of them are really suited for women Take for instance,
mining, lumbering and fishing These are definitely men’s
Trang 7areas But when women can be employed, let them have
their chance Where they are employed, they have
definitely proved better than men
What makes women appear in bondage is the tradition
and culture Man is the only animal who has got the
institution of marriage Marriage is not for simply the
propagation of life but its main aim is the preservation of
stock, safety of children and their upbringing Marriage is
not a contract which can be dissolved at one’s whim and
fancy Unless it is looked upon as a bond of love for life,
Trang 8children will suffer first and society ultimately Some of the
Western societies are paying the price heavily for their
free notions of marriage
Men themselves are not so free Wherever they work they
find opposition, injustice and exploitation The mental
strain which they hear is heavy, which women at home are
spared from
Under the present laws of the world, no nation bars
employment to women in the name of sex Nowadays we
Trang 9find women in many walks of life which were once the
preserve of men
