Man, the harbour of woman

I think that it depends on the culture that people come from whether or not they agree with the statement you make.

I'm from the UK and feel that this view of women is outdated and not how most women in the UK would feel about their role in their family.

Women not seen in this way anymore. They often take the lead in family descision making,are the main earner in the family and are capable of solving problems as well (or better!!) than men.

in china, we claimed equality between men and women,however,most of the time,men hold the main responsibility,so i toally agree with you!
but we must acknowledge that some women is so independent and strong that she can take charge of a department atone.
