Hello, welcome to my blog which is an integral part of

integral part of Manibus TV.

I'm Jael Price, a graduating Master's student in Taxation and a blogger at Manibus TV. I'd like to address a topic that has remained relevant for decades: "a woman's place is in the kitchen".

The struggle of women has always been to find a place equal to that of men. With the progress that societies are experiencing, we observe that more and more claims are deported as and when there are achievements. For, from the right to vote, yesterday, to the right to be fully active, today, and in spite of the undeniable and multifunctional capacities recognized to the woman, the male gender still remains at an advantage.

The question that arises is the following: are we really in an unbalanced society that does not know how to find a place for everyone or are we simply dealing with an identity problem?

I will try to answer this question while emphasizing that it is only my humble opinion.

Before the 18th century, the household was a shared responsibility. The man was the head of the house, the guarantor of the economic and social balance of the household. The woman was the guarantor of the integrity of the house and the education of the children. It was in 1971 that, for the first time, the legal and social equality of women and men was stated through the declaration of women's rights and citizenship. It was also the birth of a problematic that will continue and last in time.

Since the 18th century, this subject has fueled debates, and we are still wondering if the development of women absolutely requires an equal status to that of men.

Today, more and more women are in the limelight, thanks to the impact and influence they have on their contemporaries. We can mention, in no particular order, the German Angela Merkel, the American Serena Williams, the Nigerian Eloho Omame, the Gabonese Anne-Marie Mbot Ossoucah.

Some have been the head of a state. This is the case of Salome Zourabichvili in Georgia or the late Rose Francine Rogombe in Gabon, just to name a few.

Nowadays, I think that women are pillars and have always been pillars; only traditions and society have forged in them a feeling of inferiority.

Opinions are divided. Some will say that they feel like women by being housewives and others by occupying so-called men's jobs. We are in a century that calls everything into question. Men's jobs can be practiced by women and vice versa. It is true that in some countries, women's rights are still limited, but why compare ourselves to men when we have the possibility to build ourselves as women? You just have to know what you want to be...

Some will say that they have to work twice as hard to have the same status as a man. Is this absolutely true? Others have managed to do so by remaining what they are, namely women. Simply. So women should be aware of their potential and make use of it, while keeping their identity as women.

To meditate: is complete and total equality necessary

for the societal balance?
