I am not up for any sort of battle of the genders. I, for one, have always believed in equitable society that marks rationality and affinity among all classes and genders. There are two aspects, one should be aware of: wiishful setting and ground reality. Personally, I would love to see my wishes comes true, or anyone would for that matter, however, things fail to materialize the expectation in practice. And we are talking about the practical world! Now who would not like women to work together with men? I would. However, there are certain things that should be understood. 1)Let me reiterate this, a family with a career woman has more probablity of going through crisis. As I mentioned earlier, woman has a MAJOR role in shaping up the family structure, the bond of love between couples and between children and parents. I don't deny that a father bears an equal responsibilty. But ask your 2 years old kid--Papa or Mama?--"Mama!" will be the response. 2) The family pressure that a woman has to undergo puts an additional pressure on her to perform at the corporate level, hence the inefficiency. Chances are, the success that she may be craving for on her career front will go in vain! 3) That results in a drift in family affairs which leads to divorce in the worst case. 4) Career or Family? Which one is important? That is a big question! No offence to you young ladies. But there are things that have to be understood. If that evokes disargument, I am fine with it. I can envisage the aggression in your eyes, however this is the practical world. Welcome!
