This is very sad that women do not get the opportunity to make themselves involved in creative work in most of the society in the world. Society is run by the male folk. They are the decision-maker most of the time. So, women have to depend on the decision of their male guardian. They are confined to the indoor work. But we know, almost half of the population of the world is female. If they could get themselves involved in the creative work, no doubt that the world would have advanced much more today where it is now today. I think, women should get the privilege to get proper education. They should be made partner in creative works. Their suggestions should be respected. It is true that the situation has changed a lot now a days, but not enough for social evolution. What do you think? Don't you think that women should come out their cocoons and be a part in forming the modern world? Should they remain behind the veil any longer?

Here in the United States women are doing the same things that men can do all the time. In fact, a lot of women even dominate the men in their relationships, which I plan to do some of the time! You have to show him who's boss every now and then!

Well in my place I guess there is already equality in what women can do to themselves. Even our President is a woman now though I think her administration is not in a very good shape right now as she has been into lots of controversies hampering her administration. Although I guess there are countries that just have that kind of tradition and culture that prevents them from enjoying life as they are confined in their own little world as women.

Here in England I think we have quite a lot of equality in many areas. I work full time, and so does my husband. We share responsibilities, and make decisions together. Neither of us would consider making a large decision without at least consulting the other. I think that men and women are made differently, and each have a different role to play. But we are meant to compliment each other, by way of a partnership. Women should certainly be valued for their contribution to Society, and should be given equal opportunities to progress in their own lives however they wish.
