Do you consider women as equals of men?
By Herrje Soreda (I-Venus)
Men can do many things. But do you know what women can do? Like in the saying “Never judge a book by its cover,” never judge a woman of what she can do because a woman can do things that we don’t know she can. Women have talents and skills that are worthy. Women can lead the world to a better future.
I consider women as equals of men. In fact, women around the world are popular and known because of their talents and skills. Just like in our country, our president, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, is a woman. Ada Augusta Lovelace laid some of the early conceptual and technical groundwork for high technology by helping develop an early computer. A woman, namely Mary Anderson, was awarded a patent in 1903 for a window cleaning device, a forerunner to the windshield wiper. Lizzie Magie, a woman, invented a game called “The Landlord’s Game,” a forerunner of the “Monopoly” game. Many women invented things that made our life today more beautiful and made our work much easier. In fact, many leaders around the world are women.
Others think men are more worthy than women are. But for me, men and women are just equal. The gender of a person doesn’t matter; gender can’t judge what a person can do. Men and women can make the world a better place to live in.

Do you consider women as equals of men?

Lots of things have changed, from the Stone Age, Metal Age, up to now.
Women before were looked on as slaves or maids in the house while men were dominant to them. The men did the “important” work and women served them. But now, it has totally changed. Women now are known to the society as individuals who have great integrity, courage and bravery. Women nowadays are not just persons to clean houses but they build the home inside it. Things have changed, indeed.

Now, do I consider women as equals of men? Looking at things clearly, I can say I do. For example, we have women presidents all over the world, who, like men presidents, are doing everything to make their economies grow and their nations great. There are Filipina domestic helpers who don’t mind abuses from their bosses or employers just to send money here. There are also women soldiers. Even though they are not really in the battle field, they are there to cure the wounds of men soldiers. Some women even have multiple jobs just to support her family of six, seven, or nine because her husband cannot or doesn’t. Most importantly, women are our mothers who guide and love us.
Yes, they men and women may be different, very different from each other but what one can do can also be done by the other one. Most importantly, what one cannot do can be done by the other.
I’m not writing this in favor of women because I will be like them when I grow up. I am writing this to let them know that they are great.
And we are all equal in God’s eyes.
