Learn from the fault of past

Remember what had happened in our ancient culture

HERE COMES A QUESTION!

THEY HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON.

WHAT’S THAT?

SINGLE

ARE POWERFUL WOMEN WEAK IN MARRIAGE MARKET?

TAIWAN SOCIAL PHENOMENON

Choosing career (stereotype) Boys : good at science and math →doctors and engineers

Girls : good at literature, language and taking care of people

→ teachers or nurses

(some changes )

gender equality in jobs -discrimination in promotional

opportunities

Ex. the Department of Personnel 1/7 top managers is woman 70% female workers

Men-take on much more opportunity to support a family financially

Women-take care of the whole family

Some other problems -Sexual harassment at work -Pregnant, breastfeeding (the

environment) -underpayed for doing the same job -and so on…

SELF-REFLECTION

Men who own great power or wealth

plentiful love stories!!!

As for women single…

Stereotype that make people can’t entirely accept the fact that woman plays the dominant role.

Every time a female is at the helm or takes over an important post, the media will sure to report it at great length.

Is it really worth cheering and rejoicing?

Or

Is it still pathetic?

CONCLUSION

There is a long way to reach the true equality between sexes

-Get rid of the stereotype

-Show equal respect to both of the genders.
