II Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

For approximately the last 100 years women have been fighting for the same rights as men, especially around the turn from 19th to 20th century with the struggle for women's suffrage and in the 1960s with second-wave feminism and radical feminism, and were able to make changes to the traditionally accepted feminine gender role However, most feminists today say there is still work to be done.

Numerous studies and statistics show that even though the situation for women has improved during the last century, discrimination is still widespread: women earn a smaller percentage of income than men, occupy lower-ranking job positions than men and do most of the housekeeping work However, there may be some reason for this, as some studies have indicated that many jobs which are perceived to be male-dominated usually have longer hours, necessitate long periods of exposure to the elements, are higher risk and require a fair amount of physical strength.

When feminism became a conspicuous protest movement in the 1960's, critics often argued that women who wanted to follow a traditional role would be discriminated against in the future and forced to join, the workforce Many women, especially single parents are denied this choice due to economic necessity In theory, feminism is the belief that a woman should have the right to make her own decisions Those women who choose to pursue careers and higher education are more and more appreciated.

1 After a long time of struggling, women have got a quite equality to men in every aspect so far

2 According to some studies and statistics, men spend more time doing housework than women do.

3 Thanks to the equality between men and women, women can earn as much money as men do

4 Jobs which require a fair amount of physical strength are usually male-dominated.

5 The amount of women who get higher education has outgrown that of men.

It has been thought that women are the second class in citizen, and men are the first There is not a real equality of opportunity for men and women Years ago, people were living in a man-dominated society Women had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely Women's place was in the kitchen and women's work was housework In many places, women were not even' allowed to go to school Women had no rights, even the right to choose husband for themselves Men usually occupied high positions in society so they thought they were more intelligent than women Men often considered women as their property Sometimes, they were mistreated by their husbands and suffered the problem as a fate Many parents did not even want to daughters

Despite the progress, there remain outdated beliefs about women's roles, traditionally passed down from generation to generation Men are commonly seen as the strong bodies, bread-winners in the family and key leaders in society, while women are restricted to being housewives and child bearing and care, and housework such as washing and cooking

According to social surveys, many women in the 21st century still have to work over 12 hours a day including working in offices anddoing countless household chores without any help from their husbands In some regions, the labor of women is not recognized despite the hardships they endure to support the whole family Moreover, women are the direct victims of family violence, especiallyin rural areas.

Thanks to the women's liberation movement, nowadays women have proved that they are equal to men in every aspect An average woman has weaker muscles than an average man but she may be as intelligent as he is Women can do everything that men can, and women can do one thing that no man can: they produce children.

If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely they are familiar with the samesongs, movies, jokes, books and life in general They basically have the same roots In the case of a westernman and foreign woman family everything is more complicated and requires much more patience andunderstanding from both spouses On one hand each of the partners has an opportunity to learn a great dealabout the other's country, culture, traditions and life styles which can be very interesting On the other hand itcan be very disappointing if there is the inability to understand your partner's excitements and frustrations Forexample, you are watching the television and suddenly you see a famous actor or singer, or other type of anartist whose name you have grown up with Maybe this artist was an idol for your parents and the music of thisartist was often played in your house when you were a child Unfortunately you realize that your wife is unable tounderstand your feelings because she has no idea who this artist is Her eyes are absolutely empty because shehas never even heard the song before You feel rather disappointed! Remember that your wife has the samesituation with you You do not know her country's songs, her country's famous actors, her books She has herown memories and in actuality, for her, everything is much more difficult than it is for you At least, you live inyour own country where everybody can understand you She lives in completely strange surroundings, whereshe has nobody to share her feelings with, except you

Do some research and learn about your wife's country, culture and lifestyles Talk with her, ask herquestions, get to know what songs she likes, what movies and books are of interest to her The Internet will giveyou a great opportunity to find anything! Tell her about your country's culture, let her listen to the music that youlike, rent a movie for her that left you with great impression Let her understand you better through the things thatyou like Patience and time will help you to fight cultural differences.
