Should men and women re-take their natural position in society? My answer to this, is no!

 Where would we be today without Marie Curie who discovered the element radium. Which opened the door to deep changes in the way scientists thought about matter and energy and also found cures for many dangerous diseases. Or Hedy Lamarr who was a glamorous actress, who then went on to invent secret Military Communication Systems and a torpedo accuracy satellite system which played an immense part in the victory of world war 2. Without these women and countless more, many people would be dead, and their descendants would not be here today.  

        If women were to go back to working hard in the home, there would also be a huge loss in employees.  Housework can be extremely strenuous and depressing.   It has been proven in a recent study by researchers at the University of Glasgow that the link of depression and housework is apparent.  If a mother is depressed then they will not take good care of their children.  Also now women are given the equal chance in education, so therefore raising the standards of work in the country.

        Men should also not be forgotten. They may have been in charge of the work, money and importance of the home then, but now more and more men are playing a part in their children’s lives.  Is it fair for a woman to have custody of his and her child? And should men be allowed paternity leave? If the so-called natural position were to be brought back, what would happen then?  

        We must work together to stamp out the last of sexism and discrimination between man and women.  Think about your parents?  How different it was for them.  If we went back to the way things were the consequences would be regretted.  Equal rights for all, Thank you for listening.
