Views / Counter-views: What men can do, women can do better

B2. Views / Counter-views

Maharashtra State Board · English · Std 9 and 10

Topic: ‘What men can do, women can do better.’
Prepare a paragraph of views on the given topic. Use the following counter-views to write your views.

✱ Women are weak.

✱ Women are prone to male domination.

Ans: I strongly agree with the statement that what men can do, women can do better. Some people think that women are weak, but this is not true. Women may differ from men in physical strength, but they are mentally strong, patient and determined. Kalpana Chawla travelled to space, Mary Kom became a world boxing champion, and Kiran Bedi served the nation as a brave police officer. Others believe that women are prone to male domination. That may have been true in the past, but today education has given women confidence and independence. They are now leading companies, flying aeroplanes as pilots, and guarding our borders as soldiers. Women can do everything men can do, and often do it better. Therefore, we should give them equal respect and opportunities.
