Women won their independence years ago. After a long 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 battle
for recognition has been won, but it is by no means over. Men still carry on the sex war
because their attitude remains basically hostile. Even in the most progressive societies,
women continue to be regarded as second-rate citizens. However, much men sneer at
women, their claims to superiority arc not borne out by statistics. Let's consider the matter
of driving, for instance. We all know that women cause fewer accidents than men,
Women have succeeded in any job you care to name. As politicians, soldiers, doctors,
factory-hands, university professors, farmers, company directors, lawyers, 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 25 children. Yet men go on saying that there are many jobs women
can't do. Top-level political negotiation between countries, business and banks and etc.
are almost controlled by men, who guard their so-called ‘rights’. They shun teal
competition. They know in their hearts that women are superior, and they are afraid of
being beaten at their own game. One of the most important tasks in the world is to achieve
peace between the nations. You can be sure that if women were allowed to sit round the
conference table, they would succeed brilliantly, as they always do, where men have
failed for centuries. Some things are too important to be left to men.
