On the other hand Tim also brings to light the point that traditionally and also in some religions men have been considered to be the leaders and women as the supporters. I am not a religious scholar, but from what little I know of all religions, this is the basic premise of all of them. While this was a well accepted model which worked for in those times, the present times are markedly different.\u00a0 There were no roles for women in the hunter-gatherer side of community life, and women were relegated to the home and child care responsibilities. We live in very different times . And changing times need change in rules and perceptions. The debate around whether women have a place in the workplace is a very archaic one\u00a0 and I believe has been settled a couple of generations prior to us . Women are key players in the workplace and everyone seems to have come to terms with that, to a more or less extent. What we as a society now need to think now is whether we are going to give the women equal opportunities or we are going to be roadblocks in their progress, with the futile hope of regressing to past times ? Being a woman with leadership aspirations, to me this is a very simple matter of choice. If a woman wants to be a home maker , then society needs to applaud her for her contribution, If she chooses to be in the workplace, then all anyone needs to do is give her a fair and equal opportunity. Women do have an added biological responsibility ( or gift ) of being the bearers of the next generation. If anything, this should afford them an exalted position, rather than them getting penalized for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is in response to Timothy DeHaan&#8217;s post U8 &#8211; LA2 &#8211; BP1 It is heartening to hear that there are some men who are very comfortable with women holding leadership roles alongside them or sometimes above them.
