Some people believe that men and women are equal and so women should be able to do any job they want. Others feel that men and women are not equal and therefore there are certain jobs which are not suitable for women. What is your opinion?
Nowadays, as female power increases, lots of people believe that males and females have the same power including family rights, social status and career opportunities. As a result, it is generally claimed that women should be able to do any job if they want. However, others also believe that some jobs can not be done by females, such as heavy jobs. I personally agree with the idea that men and women are equal therefore they should be able to choose suitable jobs for themselves.
