 Conclusion

Through the ages two different sexes of the same specie have been busy taking edge over one another which resulted some times in a patriarchal system or a matriarchal system and again into a patriarchal system. After the industrial revolution the technological advancement along with so many other things produced glorious advancement in education which altered human thinking and behavior to a great deal. This intellectual renaissance compelled many a man and woman to strive for gender equality. Though the west claims to achieve gender equality to a great deal but the evidence of harassment and exploitation of women in every walk of life has made it vivid and crystal clear that the dream of a society free of gender bias or inequality has not yet been materialized. Though the developing countries are trying much harder yet the day to day reports of discrimination against the women speaks volumes about the exploitation of weaker sex. Analyzing the facts available it can easily be concluded that the gender equality is yet a myth.

it was a controvartial topic as gendr equality is posible and rights of women are acceptd by the world and is on agenda of U.N. . . . . They 'saryal checkers' want to confuse students by adding such topics. . .

Actully I think a myth doesn't mean it shouldn't exist at all. I think it means that yet it is not a reality and remains a myth.. what do you say????
