    While men and women should be equal in the 21st century, prejudices and social injustices still make true equality difficult to achieve. Women still face difficulties finding jobs due to stereotypes about gender roles. They also sometimes earn less money than men and have a harder time being hired or promoted since employers expect women to need time off for pregnancy and childcare. Additionally, most couples still divide household responsibilities unevenly, with women taking on most of the childrearing and domestic duties. Therefore, the author argues that despite social progress, a woman's life remains more challenging than a man's.

    Equality between man and woman ?

    That's all pie in


    the sky !

    In the occidental world, men and women should be neck and


    neck in the 21st. But, we must be realist, this is just a theory,
    in fact, it is totally different. Everybody knows a woman who
    suffers a social injustice because of her sex. I am sure you
    know someone too; do I make a mistake saying it? I do not
    think so, but if you do not really know anybody, I will try to
    explain you some very important differences. (82)
    Firstly, although we live in a modern society, we are still living
    with a lot of prejudices. For example, people think there are
    some jobs for men than a woman would not carry out and vice
    versa. So, this concept carries on some difficulties that a
    woman may meet to find a job. (136)
    Besides suffering this stereotype, she is under duress to earn
    less money than a man in certain cases. (155)
    Moreover, the boss of a firm is used to taking on a man
    because a woman almost always becomes pregnant, so that if
    she needs a maternity leave and the boss will have to find a
    substitute. (189)Furthermore, when she has a child, she often
    needs to leave work earlier to take care of her son and if the
    child is ill or if she must pick him up from the school. (221)
    And finally, the majority of the actual couples are still living
    like couples from the 50's that is to say the woman raising the
    child and looking after the home. Not a lot of couples divide
    the housework in two halves. (258)
    So, how can we say that a woman may live like a man? (270)
    To conclude, men's life seems to be easier than a womans
    life. (284)
