‘Women will never enjoy the same rights as men’. Do you agree?

As the world continues to modernise today, many traditional beliefs and conservative mindsets are undergoing revolution at the same time. Phrases such as ‘A women’s place is in the home’, is nonetheless an old catchphrase that can never be applied in the reality today. Women today are enjoying equality with men and are enjoying equal rights as men. Therefore, it is impossible to agree that ‘women will never enjoy the same rights as men’.

Women living in today’s society are given equal opportunities regardless of gender. They are allowed to enter the working fields that were regarded as being male-orientated such as engineering and politics. They no longer receive discrimination by the men in these fields as they have convinced them with their capability. The increasing number of women in male-dominated field shows that women are gradually enjoying the same rights as men.

Women definitely enjoy the same rights as men today as gender discrimination is diminishing with the aid of development, where both genders are given equal education opportunities. Capability and academic results are the requirements for the entrance of universities and gender are no longer a barrier for women. Women are no longer deprived from education and are not constrained to staying at home, coping with household chores. They too, enjoy the rights of schooling and receiving education. Therefore, I do not agree that women will never enjoy the same rights as men as they are already benefiting equal rights as men today.

Due to the opening up of conservative mindsets, women today have stepped up and proved themselves to be equally competent as men and are able to be on par with them. It is obvious that there is gender equality today and both genders enjoy the same rights. Therefore I do not agree that ‘women will never enjoy the same rights as men’.
