Men need to be part of that struggle, directing some of their own ambitions in the direction of good parenting, so that the raising of families is accepted as something that demands equal input and that is valued in society, particularly by governments and employers.
Care in the family need not be like that, but valuing everything in monetary terms has diminished humanity, importing elements of the production line to birth, life and death.
Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world.
But today it is time to discover their own distinctive futures, an inclusive future for all, not the future of men.
I can think of no better example than...
...what all that entails
Yes, it is entirely possible for a society to make a number of options legally available to all, while these opportunities remain effectively out of reach for many.
It was indeed...
These assessments might seem slight, but...
The traditional role of motherhood, they find, must be slotted within career breaks, then juggled in ever more complex organisational demands of combining salaried work with domestic cares.
The debate, I should add, is not seeking to determine...As has been established, and I would not quibble with any of the evidence on ...But that is not the proposition.
Since that is the proposition I will confine my remarks to debating that point and that point alone.
Comment:
I am firmly captivatd by Mr Donkin's debate starting off with a ateping up and legible position punching into the key problems of this debate.A series of rhetorical questions forcefully claimed that viewing whether women are better off than past is not necessarily about pay and careers but about perceptions, and self-perceptions at that.Avoid talking the ecnomical position of female in society,he cinsidered that the equal educational opportunities and safeguards in the employment system protecting women are evidence to prove that women in the developed world have never had it so good.Mr Donkin spent a mass of words emphasized that happiness and contentment over a lifetime was brought by playing a good role in family concerning on looking after children and eldly.The connotation in Mr Donkin's debate is that combining salaried work with domestic cares,females fulfil an economic role in society while gain enjoyment in family,which means females' self-fulfillment.
Mrs Neill's debate takes Mr Donkin's statement as a target and directly aim at incomplete part of his debate.Taking the example from marriage to reproductive rights,which exhibited women were not being taken seriously in the workplace, in all industries and at all levels.Mrs Neill objects Mr Donkin's claim that this developed society supplies more opportunities for female compareing with past.She rebuts that women's choices are severely constrained in reality,the real reason for women are starting their business is because they hit the glass ceiling at work, not because of some burning desire to be entrepreneurs.
Although there seems exist orthodox conception about raising children as an innate job for female in Mr Donkin's point of view.But it is real that everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents.Of course,it is not relative to mothers,but conscientious to fathers,but women are more careful and circumspective than men do,we calling on these business women spenting more time taking care of children and staying with their family.In Mrs Neill's debate,she indicates that the economical and political position of females should not be ignored,especailly in the example of women's fundamental right to abortion,she concluding that we women want full equality.What an excellent debate it is.I consent with Mr Donkin that the answer depends on the way an individual woman understands her role in society. We can not deny women have been given more choices than ever,but there exist inequity for females' right still,and the women's struggle, the women's movement must carry on. |
