i was recently having a discusiion with some coulegues and we were assessing that depending on the way our financial, economic and global status for the past centuaries it seems we can t completely achieve gender equality. because in eliminating some violences against women we are creating some.... by making special laws. conditions for valnurable women.... we are creating an artificial environment for sucess and they cant compete with men in the natural settings..... and some argued that the fact that our biological make up is different we cant completely achieve gender equality.. what do you guys think? can we achieve gender equality? as in completely. naturally, equal?
my point: YES WE CAN!

Yes, I am of the strongest conviction that gender equality could be achieved in the world.
It is unfortunate that most times when people talk about gender they assume the term only refer to women but this is or should not be the case.
The term is for both male and female.
If we only understand this concept, then Gender equality could be achieved for both sexes.
In view of the above, I am making a kind plea to us men to all ways treat women as equal sex positively and not opposite sex in the negative concept as even the creation of a woman was made from the rib bones of a man and not the back bones of a man which shows that both sexes are to do things side by side.
Therefore, we just need to recognise, protect, promote the rights and respect each other at all times so as to live in peace andharmoney.
This is so because, no body in this world is self sufficient to live isolatedly with out support from or to each sex. Otherwise, there would have been only one sex in the world.

I just don't think this is a yes or no question. Because men and women are biologically different, we will always be faced with certain inequalities in certain situations. In an environment where women have no access to birth control and survival depends on hunting a large dangerous animal, a woman is at a distinct disadvantage. In a modern society where survival of the species no longer depends on a woman's ability to give birth to 7 or 8 offspring, well that's a different situation. In a modern situation, different rules apply. It's no longer necessary, or even desirable, for a woman to have many children and so a woman is free to use her talents toward other goals. In a modern society, women and men are seen as having unique and talents. In this way they become valued for more than their ability to reproduce. Then they become equal.
