So although women can do anything that men can't do, they can also do something that men can't do, and that is mother their children.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There would be more sense in insisting on man's limitations because he cannot be a mother than on a woman's because she can be.
Most of us believe that women can do what men do. The challenge is to convince employers, legislators, mothers, that men can do what women do.
Woman must have her freedom, the fundamental freedom of choosing whether or not she will be a mother and how many children she will have. Regardless of what man's attitude may be, that problem is hers - and before it can be his, it is hers alone.
Even the notion that women should have children at all is based on the idea that a woman's inherent and most important role is that of mother. Shockingly, men's 'innate' roles are a lot more fun than the ones bestowed on women.
I'm not saying that men make better fathers than women do mothers.
Women are responsible for their children, they cannot sit back, waste time and see them starve.
Some men don't want to be responsible fathers. It's easier to say 'Let's just turn the kids over to the state.' Women end up bearing the entire load, raising kids alone without a husband to share the parenting.
Men are what their mothers made them.
Just as the Supreme Court has said that women have the right to choose whether or not to be parents, men should also have that right.
Over my lifetime, women have demonstrated repeatedly that they can do anything that men can do, while still managing traditional women's work at the same time. But the same expansion of roles has not been available to men.
