The society must open their mind.


In the past, the role of women and men were different from what they are now. The man was the provider of the family, the representative on the society and which supported the family economically, however the woman was the housekeeper and the responsible of the children. She had little involvement in the social field.
Today, these roles have changed considerably. Now is not only the man who keeps the family, in the work has been inserted more the women.
However, the man has not fully inserted in the care of the house and children although there are exceptions. Man is still bound only to the economic maintenance of the home.
The society has inserted into its culture the stereotype that men is the provider of the money and the woman have to care and take care of the children and home. That is a stereotype that we must delete from our minds, because the times have change.Because of this stereotype there is discrimination against women at work, for example, a man was paid more than a woman in the same office.
We must consider the men and women as beings with the same qualities. Yes, we are different in many areas but in the case of the roles we play in society we have the same capabilities.
