Woman Empowerment

I was sitting in class just like any other Wednesdays, but today i felt i had to do something with the custom 
of women working at home. The teacher asked whether women should get a higher education or not as some people might think their role in life is to work at home and taking care of  households. Without thinking i raised my hands as to agree to give higher education to women, but what i was really surprised that some of the boys in my class raised their hands as to not agree.

Even, my boyfriend without he was realizing it, he underrated my ability to achieve a big position when growing up. He told me to work for his company or told me to just work in my father's. However, he was expecting himself to be in a great position as he thought woman is not necessarily have to achieve a great success. There are several time i warned him, thus he denied thinking so. Sheryl Sandberg, one of the most successful woman on earth once said that in order for woman to reach for success is also depend hugely on the supports of their life partner. As they have to understand the guts to be recognized in woman is just as important as man. 

In this modern world, even gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender have been slowly accepted in a global world. Even some of the states in US and some country already legalized gay marriage. But, how can people still think there are certain achievements men able to reach that women can't do? How can even the basic difference that God once made to complete each other is still an issue? I think gender discrimination should be a history by now and woman should be given a social acceptance and equal credits in a workforce environment. These point of view might be easier to said than done, but it is applicable and we woman should start to get our voice heard and matter.
