When one demands equal rights for women, one needs to assess in which areas women can work better than men, in which they can work like men, and in which they need protection and affirmative action for when they cannot work like men.

About This Quote

Women and men play different roles in the world. Women need to be protected and given equal opportunities to take part in many areas of life. However, women should not be given the same opportunities as men in areas where they are better than men at. If women can do tasks which men find difficult, then they should be allowed to take on those tasks.
