“Men and women, because of their inherent physical differences, are not equally suited for many tasks.

Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim. In developing and supporting your position, be sure to address the most compelling reasons and/or examples that could be used to challenge your position.”

While it is true that Men and Women are physically different, It is not true that they can’t do each other’s tasks. There are exceptions but in today’s world, Men and Women are starting to get equal treatment. For many centuries, Society was dominated by men it still is but women are stepping up and bringing a change to that definition.

Men and Women are dependent on each other. We can’t imagine a world with only men or women, There’s a need of both. Take for instance child birth, Women can’t get pregnant without men. Children are born of women but there’s a big role of men. While it is true men don’t have to undergo pregnancy for 9 months only women have to, Which is hard but men have other responsibilities like taking care of their partner, supporting them mentally, making sure that their partner is getting enough rest and so on.

Since the inception of time, Men have been incharge of the responsibility for going to work and earn for a living while, women have been doing the job of taking care of household. Today, In many households it can be seen that men and women are both working and earning for their family and also handling the task of doing household chores. While there are still some countries where this is considered a sin for women to work. But, this prejudice is slowy morphing, and women are taking up roles equivalent to men.

In conclusion, It will not be best to say that men are not suited for tasks performed by women and vice-versa. Men and Women while physically different are made to work in harmony. While there exist many places in the world where Men and Women are treated differently, This gap can only be filled by making awareness about how Women are equally important as Men.

Hi, you have done a pretty good job with your essay. Here are just a few minor changes.

While it is true that men and women are physically different, it is not true that they cannot do each other’s jobs. There are exceptions, but in today’s world men and women are beginning to be treated equally. For many centuries society was dominated by men, and it still is, but women are stepping up to change that definition.

Men and women are interdependent. We cannot imagine a world where there are only men or only women, we need both. Take the birth of a child, for example: Women cannot get pregnant without men. Children are born from women, but men play a big role. It’s true that men don’t need to be pregnant for 9 months, only women do. That is hard, but men also have other duties, such as taking care of their partners, supporting them emotionally, making sure their partners get enough rest, and so on.

Since the beginning of time, men have been responsible for going to work and earning a living, while women have taken care of the household. Today, it can be seen in many households that both men and women work and earn for their families and also take care of the household. True, there are still some countries where it is considered a sin for women to work. But this prejudice is slowly changing, and women are performing tasks equal to those of men.

In summary, men are not suited for tasks performed by women and vice versa. Men and women are physically different, but they are made to work in harmony. While there are many places in the world where men and women are treated differently, this gap can only be closed by creating awareness that women are just as important as men.
