I am a man
with 21 years
Today in
Chile to be a man is an advantage in many ways, but also has its disadvantages.
In our
society to be a man has many benefits, as for a long time different elements
have been built men in mind, Chilean society being a 'sexist society " for
example architecture, transportation, sports and culture, are thought for man.
I have 21
years and I feel very advantaged by to be a man within Chilean society, but I
think it is a responsibility to women, so they can have the same opportunities
as us men.
To my age,
there are many advantages to be man and I'm at the limit between being young
and being an adult, as give us adult responsibilities without being adults,
unlike many women. For example in youth work, the man makes more money than
women.
Another
advantage is that women my age do not have the freedom that men have at my age,
being more independent and taking more responsibilities.
One
disadvantage of being a man of my age is that we are displaced, and we think we
can bear more than women, adults and children, being assigned to work hard, to
wait, to stand on the subway, etc..
So I think
that Chilean society must step in terms of equal opportunities and social
responsibilities without neglecting the qualities of each genre.
If you are
a man you have to consider that in our society have many advantages, but also
have a great responsibility, because it is a task for all that society can
understand that we all have the same opportunities, creating a more inclusive
society.
If you are
a woman you must understand that today the world is evolving in terms of the
integration of women in many ways, but they should know that sexism in society
is the fault of everyone, and you women have a big task to overcome this and be
integrated to the places that were displaced.
