It is about the same everywhere la.
The idea of gender equality will not be realised if we do not
abolish the notion of "lady" and "gentleman". It cannot be realised
if we do not reject the deep-rooted social expecations as well as
social roles and responsibilities of specific genders. This of
course does not include biological differences as that would mean
"Divine Right".
We should judge people by their strength of character and not
their gender. Traditional advantages and priviledges must be given
up. And then maybe equality might come true.
But for now, it remains a dream.
A true meritocrat speaking.
