Men in Asia, Middle East and some other countries are still considerd the breadwinners and the heads of the family.Women usually stay home have a luxurios life of taking care of themselves,going to the spas and beauty parlours in order to look nice and fresh when the husbands come home, they recieve them with a fresh,healthy and good looking smile. They have the nannies for the children, cooks and servants to do the other jobs, so these ladies do not mind that they are not treated equally.This does not mean that there husbands ill-treat them, as a matter of fact they are much more relaxed as a family. Actually men have more responsibilities than women in these countries and that is why they are treated as kings. As mentioned in Wood's pg.104" Men's rights groups want men to regain their rightful places as heads of families and unquestioned authorities. At the same time,they think their superiorty to women should not be tied to the breadwinner role as a particular facet of traditional manhood".

I have read an article about gender equality in Southern Africa.The article is from AllAfrica.com, it is titled "Southern Africa: SADC Leaders Urged to Sign Into Gender Protocol" and it is written by Thato Chwaane on May 26,2008.
They are trying to get the heads of states to sign the South African Devolopment Community Protocol on Gender and Development. They are moving for a stronger female presence in the governments,rights concerning marital rape,minimum mariage ages,marginalized and vulnereable groups, cohabitating couples, and so on. They would like constitutional changes specifying these rights, so that the rights are upheld to the fullest extent.

Good and healthy childcare is the biggest challenge in our gendered society. It is very rare that mothers stay home and take care of their children any more, these young kids are so much influenced by their care takers, for instance the care taker's language, their day to day behavior, their daily routine, etc. I know couple of our friend's they have nannies from different parts of the world and it is amazing how fast these kids are learning their languages and their rituals. These kids imitate the nannies language,they prefer and enjoy nannie's food as well as their own food which is really cool, they are getting exposed to all different cultures, but at the same time do you think they are deprived of their own family traditions? I guess some parents believe in giving quality time rather than giving quantity time to their children. Our children are our future, we hope they get the best of the care, does not matter from whom they get the loving care.

It was very interesting research of abortion laws.There are so many issues involved in abortion cases and one should look thoroughly before making any decisions. At least in this country most of the women do not feel ashamed they go to pre-natal clinics and hospitals,where they can get proper medical service,especially if the mother is Rh-, she has to get an injection of Rho(D) immune globulin shot for health resons. In some parts of the world the girls are still so scared of their culture and family that they hide and end up in health problems.

"equal treatment" for women, it sounds too good to be true.It seems to me the women's rights are working but still it is going to take a while for men to realize the reality that women are advancing and they should be treated equally.All though some men are really good and share their burden of work to make the family and the society happy.

Igrew up in different country, we did not have the T.V.till later and I do not remember watching cartoons when I was growing up.Now my kids are older, so I hardly watch any cartoons with a full-time job and school and another part-time job there is hardly any time left for T.V.
Kids these days are very smart, they pick very fast on every little detail especially the bad things and odd things, so the best thing is to watch them what programs they are seeing on T.V.

Times are changing men and women both have very challenging professionals these days, there is nothing wrong if the men stay home and do all the household chores and take care of the family. I know of my doctor friend who is the sole bread winner and her husband enjoys being at home, does all the work like cooking,cleaning,etc.
