Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
It has been thought that women are the second class in citizen, and men are the first. There is not a
real equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a man-dominated
society. Women had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely. Women's place was in the kitchen
and women's work was housework. In many places, women were not even' allowed to go to school.
Women had no rights, even the right to choose husband for themselves. Men usually occupied high
positions in society so they thought they were more intelligent than women. Men often considered
women as their property. Sometimes, they were mistreated by their husbands and suffered the problem
as a fate. Many parents did not even want to daughters.
Despite the progress, there remain outdated beliefs about women's roles, traditionally passed down
from generation to generation. Men are commonly seen as the strong bodies, bread-winners in the family
and key leaders in society, while women are restricted to being housewives and child bearing and care,
and housework such as washing and cooking.
According to social surveys, many women in the 21st century still have to work over 12 hours a day
including working in offices and doing countless household chores without any help from their
husbands. In some regions, the labor of women is not recognized despite the hardships they endure to
support the whole family. Moreover, women are the direct victims of family violence, especially in rural areas.
Thanks to the women's liberation movement, nowadays women have proved that they are equal to
men in every aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles than an average man but she may be as
intelligent as he is. Women can do everything that men can, and women can do one thing that no man can: they produce children.
