Women and Men should work separately in professional settings

Firstly, I wish to quote a remark made by my opponent. "Having men and women work separately is just an acceptance of the fact that men and women are different. . . " While this statement is, Ultimately, A scientific fact, It would be unwise to contest modern ideals with such a fact. Persecution and disregard for women over thousands of years, And the unthinking assertion of patriarchy has only inspired more and more women - now women empowerment is key to national growth. Consider the following statement, Which was obtained from unwomen. Org - ". . . " for example, Increasing the female employment rates in OECD countries to match that of Sweden, Could boost GDP by over USD 6 trillion. . . . . ". In fact, I even have statistics that claim the very opposite that my opponent has stated. According to the World Economic Forum, Women work "10% harder" than men in offices. Further, Women accomplish such high productivity, While manning nearly 54. 9% of the tasks. All of these facts, Fortified by the reputable credentials of the WEF, Are enshrined in the State of the Workplace report on gender. Hence, It is in fact women who are more productive than men in most cases, If not as productive. In fact, From the very same report that my opponent has referred to, Released by the American Pathological Association, We learn that " Women are expected to assume a domestic role (or occupational role) that involves a great deal of interpersonal relationship skills. Accordingly, Women are"or at least are perceived as"more communal in orientation, Less selfish, More caring, Friendly, And emotionally expressive (Eagly, 2009). On the other hand, Men assume social roles of high status and power and so they are"or are perceived as"more independent, Assertive, Ambitious, And dominant. " This is completely in contrast to what my opponent has to say about women's professional skills - ". . . Special training. . . . For certain women in order to gain the required personality traits. . . . . Make them more suitable to compete and work in highly male dominated environments. " doesn't quite concur with what the report has to say. But this is hardly a debate on the skills of women with respect to men - I am here merely to say that women have no "shortage" that would not allow them to compete and collaborate with men in the professional domain, Just like men have no relative "advantage". Before I conclude, I must highlight a statement my opponent has made, That is quite worrying, Especially given the long history of discrimination against women I have recalled before - "Contrary to what my opponent believes, I don't believe that this would undermine gender equality. It would only highlight the factual gender inequality. " The term "factual" seems to be used in poor light here - of course there is the biological difference between men and women, Which is a universal truth. Any other difference or inequality is anything but factual. As I have reiterated through evidence previously, Even the supposed "less productivity" of women compared to men highlighted by my opponent is incorrect. If anything, There is only one way to ensure women, And society understand fully the truth of gender equality - the way forward is to allow men and women to participate equally in development and progress. A comment has been rightly made in the context of this debate - while there is the OBVIOUS biological difference between men and women, The very fact that they share the Earth together should mean that they must work together, Not separately.
