Good morning everyone present here. Distinguished guests, learned jury, and my dear fellow students, I stand here to expatiate on ‘Men and women should be given equal opportunities.
I am reminded of Gloria Steinem’s words: “A gender-equal society would be one where the word 'gender' does not exist: where everyone can be themselves.” Not letting someone do what she wants to do is limiting her freedom. If still there are limitations, I just wonder what is this so much ado about gender-equality campaigns in our society?
I strongly believe women are perfectly suitable for any sport, adventure, exploration, and field. Women have already proved their mettle all spheres. Space exploration, research and development, science and medicine, politics, financing, management, education, and whatnot, women have set higher standards than man. I strongly believe the time has come for women to take over every field that has been dominated by man till now. The men should now start in kitchen and women in offices.
The world has been dominated and led by men so far. Under their reign, the world has gone through many wars. Women were never given the freedom to have their say in the administration of national and international affairs! The question arises: would the world have been a better place, if there were more women leaders in the past? The women by nature are calmer and more staid than men. They would have found peaceful solutions to the conflicts that caused so many wars. There would not have been world wars, if there were more women leaders in Europe, America, and Russia. Women deserve a chance. Man has had his! He has failed miserably. Let’s give the women the turn to run the world. They will keep the world as spic and span as they keep their homes with the caring industry and motherly responsibility. Under their care the world will become one big family, devoid of wars, crimes, greed, and avarice. Let’s empower women for a better, brighter, and more peaceful world.
I strongly believe, women can do, be, and have anything that they wish. So, they should be treated equally to men in all spheres.
