difference between men and women

I think that sex discrimination is disappearing gradually.
For instance, employment and suffrage, there is not sex discrimination of this point now.
I think these equalities of opportunity should exist, but I think distinction of coming from difference of sex is sometimes need.
Anyway I hope the world all people can utilize sex difference as personality for himself/herself actively.

Men and Women

Hello. I am Takumasa.
I think men and women are not nearly equal in Japan now.
For instance, the law , a competition and employment are different for sex.
Because men are different from women and women are different from men.For example, men can not have a child. Women can not do manual labor. So It is not necessary for us to be equal.

Dicussion Question

I think that I am a country where the man and woman discrimination exists for a long time in Japan.
Because the woman did not have the right to participate in politics in old times in Japan either.
I think that such discrimination has disappeared on the surface now.
However, I do not think disappearing perfectly. If everyone's idea changes, such discrimination must be lost and become the equal world at once.

Discussion Question

I think men and women aren’t nearly equal in Japan now. Compared with old times, it becomes a good relation because there was no clear sex discrimination now. But there are still some differences of the treatment, for example, condition of employment. Illegal discrimination is bad though it is good that the man and woman have the difference.

Equality is all good? (Discussion Question)

I think men and women in Japan have almost become equal ever than before. Of course, some points aren’t still perfect, but at least we tend not to feel that such small differences make us many problem and difficult.
However, too equality contains dangerous aspects a little. That’s because human beings have own personalities, rolls, and differences by birth. We have to pay attention to too equality that has dangerous. Anyway, this is very difficult problem, so I want to keep thinking from now on.
Thank you for reading!

Women's Right to Vote in US Hits 90th Anniversary

Hello, everyone.
I chose this article because I think that women's right to vote being admitted was very good. Acting like women's rights' being admitted while the predominance of men over women took root must have been very serious. But women in the United States were able finally to win the right thanks to the effort of a lot of people. I think that this thing is a very wonderful. All humans are essentially equal.

Do you think men and women are nearly equal in Japan now?
I think yes. Because there is, for example, a difference of the age in which the men and the women can marry. Moreover, the idea that a man works by all means, and the woman does housework still remains a little. Thus, men and women's difference by the custom and the concept still remains though the legal discrimination disappeared. However, I think the men and women doesn't have the same necessity, and it to be should a difference by the sexes. What do you think?
