This is supposed to be an enlightened age, but you wouldn't think so if you could hear what the average men think of the average women. Women won their independence years ago. After a long, bitter struggle, they now enjoy the same educational opportunities as men in most parts of the world. They have proved repeatedly that they are equal and often superior to men in almost every field. The hard-fought battle for recognition has been won, but it is by no means over. It is men, not women who still carry on the sex was because their attitude remains basically hostile. Even in the most progressive societies, women continue to be regarded as second-sate citizens. To hear some men talk, you'd think that women belonged to a different species. On the surface, the comments made by men about women's abilities seem light-hearted. The same tired jokes about women drivers are repeated day in day out. This apparent light-heartiness does not conceal the real contempt that men feel for women. However much men sneer at women, their claims to superiority are not borne out by statistics. We all know that women cause far fewer accidents than men. They are too conscientious and responsible to drive like menaces. But this is a minor quibble. Women have succeeded in any job you care to name. Ass politicians, soldiers, doctors, bus-conductors, scientists and presidents of countries they have often put men to shame. And we must remember that they frequently succeed brilliantly in all these fields in addition to bearing and rearing children.
