[00:-1.00]A WOMAN'S PLACE IS IN THE HOME
[00:-2.00]Chairperson and fellow students,
[00:-3.00]1.Replying to such a well-argued speech is not easy,but I will try.
[00:-4.00]As you know,I'm speaking against this motion.
[00:-5.00]I wish to make three main points.
[00:-6.00]First,we cannot accept the traditional role for women
[00:-7.00]in a modern and sophisticated society.
[00:-8.00]Second,I wish to refute the argument that women are weaker than men.
[00:-9.00]Third, I shall discuss whether or not it is damaging
[00:10.00]for a childif his/her mother has a job.
[00:11.00]2.In proposing the motion,
[00:12.00]Jane suggested that we should be proud of our history
[00:13.00]and respect the traditional role of women.
[00:14.00]Well,I want to remind her of some other facts about the past.
[00:15.00]Girls born into some poor families were not wanted.
[00:16.00]They were sometimes killed or later sold as slaves.
[00:17.00]After getting married,many women were like servants in their husband's family.
[00:18.00]These wives,confined to their houses,had very low status.
[00:19.00]New wives sometimes committed suicide.
[00:20.00]Are these traditions which we should support today?
[00:21.00]I don't think so.
[00:22.00]We can be proud of our history without clinging to these old traditions.
[00:23.00]3.Second,the proposer mentioned the old argument
[00:24.00]about women being weaker than men.
[00:25.00]Having made this point,
[00:26.00]she said it showed that women were unsuitable for many jobs.
[00:27.00]Well,I must disagree with both statements.
[00:28.00]Looking around,we can still see some women doing heavy,physical work
[00:29.00]on farms,building sites androads.
[00:30.00]Thus,women can do heavy manual labour when they have to.
[00:31.00]Furthermore,statistics prove that women suffer fewer serious diseases.
[00:32.00]Moreover,the life expectancy for women is longer than that for men.
[00:33.00]So how can we say women are weaker?
[00:34.00]Finally,while agreeing that men are better at weightlifting,
[00:35.00]I must say that very few jobs actually require physical strength these days.
[00:36.00]4.In his speech,James tried to pay us a compliment,I think,
[00:37.00]when he said that women are superior to men in bringing up children,
[00:38.00]and should therefore stay home.
[00:39.00]I concede that many women feel torn between their careers and their families.
[00:40.00]However,a recent study has shown that working women
[00:41.00]spend only five hours lessa week with their children than non-working women.
[00:42.00]It is better for the family finances and for the woman's own development.
[00:43.00]For instance,my mother returned to work a few years ago.
[00:44.00]Having been at home for ten years,she felt quite nervous.
[00:45.00]After returning to work, she became more confident.
[00:46.00]But I feel strongly that every woman should have the right to work out her own priorities.
[00:47.00]5.Thus,I have shown that some traditions of the past were unfair,
[00:48.00]and that women are not the weaker sex.
[00:49.00]I believe we're capable of doing any job a man can do.
[00:50.00]In our city,over 51% of the female population now have jobs.
[00:51.00]Many of those also manage to run a home,and so they have a double burden.
[00:52.00]Very few men could manage this.
[00:53.00]6.There are still many examples of discrimination against women in our society,
[00:54.00]as Simon pointed out in his speech.
[00:55.00]As a community,we are wasting our valuable resources
[00:56.00]if we don't let women play their full part.
[00:57.00]A woman's place is not only in the home,but also in the office,
[00:58.00]in the design studio,in the bank,and in the managing director's chair.
[00:59.00]I urge you to vote against the motion.Thank you.
