Can we all "have it all"?
Summary
How many women are in high positions that are prime ministers, presidents, CEOs, directors, managers, Nobel laureates and leaders in your country?
This is a question that Japanese people don’t want to answer the best and from the world, it’s said that Japan should have women leaders more.
However, is it the right way to measure about male-female equality?
The world and we believe that the most respected and powerful people in our society are men who are in high positions, thus women should be that, though, it’s only half of the real equality. The speaker suggests that real equality, full equality, doesn’t just mean valuing women on male terms. It means to create a much wider range of equally respected choices for women and for men. It should change our workplaces, policies and even culture. In the workplace, real equality means valuing family just as much as work, and understanding that the two reinforce each other. Work should come first, family comes first, work comes second, those are wrong. For life, both are necessary and juggling work and family are not women’s problems. It’s a family problem included men, companies also have to manage it, governments, of course, think about infrastructures of not only economies but care.
Hi, guys, are you still socialized to believe that men have to be breadwinners and women have to care for children? Don’t think that way. The feminist revolution still has a long way to go, the revolution for human equality can happen and it’s starting to happen.
