The variations of strengths and flaws among men and women has led many people to believe that some certain fields should take priority over specific gender as opposed to the other. Personally, I partly concur with the aforementioned statement owing to the shift in economic climate as well as some specific advantages of prioritizing one gender over the other.
First and foremost, despite differences in both genders regarding their abilities, it is an irrefutable fact that the development of society, especially the occurrence of knowledge-based economy, has helped blur the line between two genders. As can be seen, since the economy shifted from relying mostly on manual labor to knowledge economy, physical strengths no longer hinder female career paths, catering them for multifold ample employment opportunities. In other words, there is no need in eliminating any gender from any specific fields as cognitive abilities soon supplant physical abilities to advocate for their job prospects.
At the other end of the spectrum, there are still some occasions where male-dominated or female-dominated occupations can bring numerous benefits. For example, female shop assistants would be much more preferred in cosmetic stores or patients would favor being taken care of by female nurses as opposed to men. Consequently, not only does it facilitate higher productivity and work efficiency but it also assists in fostering the quality of the final outcomes; it would be the customers and patients’ satisfaction in the aforementioned examples.
In conclusion, I reaffirm my position that while gender equality should be encouraged in work labor, there are certain cases where gender equality can not be ensured. Instead of endeavoring to balance the number of male and female workers in specific fields, recruiters should provide them with sufficient opportunities and make decisions based on their abilities rather than their genders.
