STILL WOMEN ARE DOMINATING IN NEPAL

| NEPALESE WOMEN |
In our society men and women both play very important parts. Even if it may be tempting to believe that girls and boys are the same for a short while "after their birth this is not the case. From their first moments girls and boys are raised differently. To put it simply: girls get the dolls and boys the cars. The differences become more apparent the older the children get, especially if they have been brought up according to traditional values. Men and women very often have a completely different attitude in life. Men are said to be less emotional, but more determined, whereas women play the more caring, but also more dependent role in our society. But what would our world be dike if women were more like men?

| NEPALESE WOMEN WITH CHILD |
Since the beginning of mankind, men have been hunters and women the ones who stay at home, talking care of the children. Even though our society is undergoing tremendous changes, men still hold the top-positions in jobs such as management, marketing, finance or politics and get paid around 1/3 more than women on average. Apart from the traditional reasons for men being more successful there is also the reason that men do everything possible to achieve their goals. Women are far less ruthless and much more sensitive to the feelings of other, so they seem weaker and less determined. Women very often work as teachers, nurses and social-workers, jobs which involve care and emotions and are directly concerned with people, but very often badly paid.

If women were more like men they would also try and get the best paid jobs, without thinking of anyone they may be harming on the path to achieving their goal. There is nothing wrong with being determined and career orientated but it is - also important to be sensitive towards other people's feelings. Another very crucial part of society which would change is family-life. When growing up, children benefit from both maternal and paternal influences. Mothers are supposed to be the more sensitive and caring parent, whilst fathers are seen to be more practical and demanding. Although nowadays men are said to be more sensitive than they used to be they still find it embarrassing to cry or show affection. A healthy balance between the two needs to be found to raise a child. On the one hand the father's 'realism and level-headedness is important to teach the child about the real world, whilst the mother is more emotional and is more likely to be able to help the child with its problems. In addition to the points mentioned above, life would be very boring" without the differences between men and women. We spend most our life trying to get to know and understand the opposite sex, usually with limited success. As opposites attract, relationships without contrasts would be no fun. Even it homosexual relationships one of the partners is usually more masculine and the other more feminine.
When children turn into teenagers much time is spent in groups with friends of the same sex discussing the opposite sex. If girls were like boys many conversations wouldn't exist.

| DRIVING TEMPO BY NEPALESE WOMEN |
In my opinion women shouldn't become more like-men, Already more and more girls find it 'cool' to act like men, for example they drink and swear much more. This is one of the negative ways that women have taking on male characteristics. Of course it is important that women get better-paid jobs and have chances of having a good career too, but this shouldn't mean that we have to sacrifice our female qualities.

I also don't believe that men should become more like women, as every sex has its advantages and disadvantages. Men should learn that showing emotion isn't necessarily negative, but if men were too much like women that wouldn't be an improvement to our society either. So all in all I think life should stay as it is.
