thisis for everyone out there, but be careful how you answer this question, ppl may not like you why can't women do what men do? why do women choose to become a hairdresser and a few choose to become a plumber? WHY? WHY ARE JOBS AND CLOTHES DIFFERENT FOR GENDERS?

There is no doubt that there are jobs that are suited to a typical male brain, and jobs more suited to a typical female brain. However each of us has different abilities some of which are more typically male and some of which are more typically female. At the risk of starting an argument, I would say that the more typically male traits would be in the area of mechanics and spatial awareness. Whereas typically female traits would be artistic and caring. Each of us has these traits in varying degrees, and it is not hard to find men displaying more typical female traits and vice versa. The traits are reinforced by our upbringing and culture, sometimes making it hard for an individual to nurture their particular gifts... Clothes?? well I have no idea about that, it's not the same as the jobs question - also why people CHOOSE jobs is as much to do with upbringing and culture. Once again at the risk of being contraversial, I would say it is a lot lot easier for a woman to dress in male-type clothing and do male-type jobs, than it would be for a man to dress in a skirt and teach a class of infants!!!

It's not a question of "like", people should state their true beliefs about different issues. Related to your subject, i personally believe in the equality of both men and women. While there are some positions to be filled exclusively by men (as in let's say Oil Platforms - and ever here we start seing women employeed) it should be, as i think it already is, a question of personal interest, regardless the work field. With very few exceptions, we reached a point of equality in terms of employment, with men working as cooks or hairdressers and women employeed as top managers, involved in politics, etc
