Commenting on "UNICEF - Gender equality - The big picture"
http://www.unicef.org/gender/index_bigpicture.html
One woman cannot change the world, but one woman can influence and hopefully changes the mindset of another woman or more than one women. The process goes on.
To begin with, do not compare the differences between man and woman. It starts with what a woman wants to achieve in the near future, what's next after that near future, and what's next, etc.
Neil Armstrong could not get to the moon without the help of the scientists, technicians, factory workers, ordinary construction workers, cooks, tailors, shoe makers, etc. Most importantly, Neil Armstrong could never have the opportunity if no one ever came out with the suggestion that Man could land on the moon.
Women can do a lot of things, but what they fail to do is to come out with the suggestion that they are a better gender than the male counterpart. Without that as the goal, what hope do women have to excel.
Why should women be maniplulated and suppressed? Who defined equality - does it mean that women want men to do as much, or women want to do as little as the men? England is a small island by world standard, and yet it conquered large part of the world at some stage in history. Did England fight for equality to have bigger land mass?
An atom and the nucleus are very, very small, and when packaged in certain way, their explosive impact is unimaginable. As what I have said at the start, one woman cannot change the world. However, a woman can start a chain reaction, slowly but surely!
