Women Should Be Treated Equally as Men

WHY WOMEN SHOULD BE TREATED EQUALLY WITH MEN If we look back throughout history, women have been treated as a minority everywhere. There have not been many female leaders that have overcome the equality between men and women and made great strides towards different areas such as political, sports and education. In the Bible, Galations 3:28 says “There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one is Christ Jesus.”. This makes it clear that at everybody and everything is equal, at least in the eyes of God. Unfortunately, there is still a margin of inequality between the sexes today and so the revolution continues. Over the generations, women have always been confined to the perimeters of their home, or worst their kitchens. Since the pre-historic times, women have always been home-makers, while the men are considered to be the hunters, or in modern terms, the breadwinners that put the food on the table. Since then women are to be considered as the weaker sex. The greatest achievement that they get is being a good wife of a man. Luke 10:39 tells us about Mary, who sat at the Lord Jesus' feet, listening to what he said. This was a position of a student to a teacher in ancient time, the equivalent of college attendance today. So Mary was doing something quiet shocking and radical. She was appropriating a role normally reserved only for man, since it was thought only men could receive a higher education while women were supposed to stick to their role as home-makers. However, Jesus, instead of rebuking Mary's desire of intellectual and spiritual advancement, encourages her and supports her. He sees her as being equal to men in her desire and capacity for knowledge. Women are usually looked down because of their lack of physical strength. As the saying goes don't judge a book by its cover. Women are actually talented in many ways. Benazir Bhutto, Margaret Thatcher, Julia Gillard, Indira Gandhi, Aung San Suu Kyi are women
