Sergey Kazakov: A Woman's Place



What does this question mean? By its inner nature it should be answered only “YES” or “NO”. But we should not forget that it concerns such complex and contradictory matter as “woman”. Due to this, a lot of people, who were asked this question, had different meaning for the same words in the same sentence. This short question may be answered in absolutely different and contradictory terms.
People, who answer “NO”, regard it as a test of loyalty to women rights. They are usually the addicts of feminist movement, which supposes equality of men and women everywhere and their mutual responsibility for raising children and running a household. Mankind history is full off brilliant achievements of women even in muscular fields, such as fight at battlefield in case of J.d’Arc. In some difficult situation they demonstrated bigger gusto compares with men. There participation in politic recently has brought them dignity.
People who answered this question “YES” are appealing to the habits and tradition, when household was women’s responsibility. Even the Bible ratifies this situation. Many women like the idea of being a “Mother” and “Wife”; it is a big pleasure for them to build a nest where their family would live. Many women till now think that life on behalf of their children and husband is the highest destiny of their life. They care about their children instinctively. They should not deprived by their rights.
Nobody argues that man and woman is equal creatures. Even Catholic Church in 1968 agreed with this. But, why women should choose between two possibilities? Why she cannot be a mother and successful businessman simultaneously? Let’s leave answer to this question to women. Our goal should be the creation of possibilities for every woman to make a free choice and support her decision.
