I’ve read my classmate Stella Cho’s blog – Gender Equality in Business, and I want to talk about it.
Stella talks about gender inequality in business. I agree with it. My mother is a businesswoman. She’s also a straightforward woman. She hates the “latent rules” about genders in business. Luckily, we are in Shanghai, which is a province known for “stronger women, gentler men” in China. However, there are still lots of gender inequalities that my mother needs to face.
I really appreciate Emma Watson’s speech mentioned in Stella’s blog. The same as her, I also notice gender problems as I grow up. I don’t understand why men think strong women are less attractive? Why women have to show their sexy bodies or expressions to get attention from men? Why women usually say something flattering to men to get the business they want? That’s not right.
At the same time, I want to talk about some other problems.
Emma states that general equality is also men’s issue, “Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong.”
Do you know in China, at least the situation I know, there are many girls teasing boys in primary schools? The opposite situation also happen, as well as the bullying among the same gender. Both genders require equality! Each single person requires equality! I think that is a even more difficult goal to achieve.
