- The main role in our societies is to show that we all are equal and to demonstrate we can do hard work like men and sometimes without us some things can’t be possible and a woman don’t need to be discriminated and judged differently just because she is a woman . We definitely can do what men do.

- In our societies many women are professionally active and, what’s probably the most important role for them, they are mothers who care of their children and rise them
- I believe there is no such thing as a defined role anybody has in the society based on their gender. Hence it is up to each individual what they want to do in their lives, who they want to become and who they want to be as these choices belong to them.

- I would like to hear other people’s opinions and discuss with them.
- A while ago I realized for most of my lifetime I’ve been looking up to men and considering them as better just because of their gender. It mostly was due to the perspective my mother has had and been frequently bringing up in all sort of conversations. I feel like because of that I used to consider women to be envious, fake and didn’t see myself being friends with any as well as I was convinced I can’t be a person I want to be because I am a female. I don’t really know when that mindset changed, but I find these thoughts to be extremely wrong and don’t want anybody to have them. Hence I would like to know other women’s perspective on gender aspects. I also noticed that (even before I realized how much I praised and admired men) I’ve always been cutting down all sexist comments my friends would ever have and have been getting angry when hearing them. I think that at certain age I just gained this kind of huge respect and the feeling of solidarity with women. I would like to spread those and make a good use of them and talk to somebody who feels the same way especially when it’s shaped by various cultural aspects.
