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.
