Answer 1

The statement, “The freedom of having your own money, has to be free to not marry the guy, to be free to leave the guy, and to support yourself as a single person, possibly with kids” is related to the concept of equality of opportunity.

According to my view, there should be no gender biased discrimination in our society. Both genders (male or female) are equally responsible for creating our society. Prosperity and development on any nation or culture are only possible if we give equal opportunity to both genders.

It is the birth rights of every person to feel freedom, equal opportunity as compared to other without any gender, racial, and cultural biases.

But it is the sad reality of our nation that even in 21st-century discrimination still exist in our society in the form of gender discrimination, racial discrimination and culture discrimination.

Women in many fields like education, administration, politics, medical and research and development, are still facing gender biases.

According to Simone de Beauvoir, the reason for subordination to men by traditional women is that our own perception is the main cause of it.He also states that women are equal and essential part of the society and can do anything like men can do but they are not capable to form or organize as a group that can support and stands for their interest and rights. The main reason for this is the flaws and lack in our community, society and work ethics.
