WOMEN SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DO ANY THEY CHOOSE IF THEY MEET THE BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

Of course¡ it should be allowed morally and legally within our society. Also, It must be legal right for everybody because in the 21 st-century the male chauvinism doesn’t exist anymore, everybody is igual,  everybody is able to work in any work. Moreover, now women are well prepared than in the past. Women should be allowed to do any job they choose because the woman’s able to work in any kind of job such as  driver, government, and firewoman such and such as the man. Both have the same rights to get any job if each one has the sufficient capacity or qualifications to do something. Also, we should be allowed to do any job because there are a lot of women that are really capable to do men’s work the best way. In the 21^st-century women are important to the society as the men, both have important performances in our society, both have important positions, but we’re very good at doing any job. As a consequence, there are several women that are really efficient in their jobs than men, for this reason. I think woman’s able to find any way of dealing with a problem, it involves physical and mental effort. To sum  it all up, women and men should have the same rights and opportunities at everything, both should feel happy to be somebody important in our society and to help others if is woman or man that doesn’t care.
