VIII. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
It has been thought that women are the second class in citizen, and men are the first. There is not a real equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a man-dominated society. Women had to obey 
their husbands and fathers absolutely. Women's place was in the kitchen and women's work was housework. In 
many places, women were not even' allowed to go to school. Women had no rights, even the right to choose husband 
for themselves. Men usually occupied high positions in society so they thought they were more intelligent than 
women. Men often considered women as their property. Sometimes, they were mistreated by their husbands and 
suffered the problem as a fate. Many parents did not even want to daughters. 
Despite the progress, there remain outdated beliefs about women's roles, traditionally passed down from generation 
to generation. Men are commonly seen as the strong bodies, bread-winners in the family and key leaders in society, 
while women are restricted to being housewives and child bearing and care, and housework such as washing and 
cooking. According to social surveys, many women in the 21st century still have to work over 12 hours a day 
including working in offices and doing countless household chores without any help from their husbands. In some 
regions, the labor of women is not recognized despite the hardships they endure to support the whole family. Moreover, women are the direct victims of family violence, especially in rural areas. Thanks to the women's liberation movement, nowadays women have proved that they are equal to men in every aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles 
than an average man but she may be as intelligent as he is. Women can do everything that men can, and women can 
do one thing that no man can: they produce children.
