Drake, one of my favorite musical artists, has a song called "Fancy". It describes the new generation of young American women who are becoming independent. I'm going to go further and interpret it as a song about women becoming more and more confident in the workplace and being more and more productive than their male counterparts. “Nails done, everything done,” describes the woman who can’t even ask a man to pay for food – she has to pay for going out. Believe it or not, many young people today – especially college students – experience this song when it comes to dating the other sex. Men have no problem with women paying their half of the check, because if they had a problem with that, it would rob their partner of their independent nature. The girls took matters into their own hands with or without their man's consent. In the United States, women are increasingly valued in the workplace. This generalization even includes women of different ethnicities such as African-Americans and Asians. Leading companies understand that women today are driven to succeed. Women are becoming the backbone of the American productivity chain. However, Asian countries like India, South Korea, Georgia and China still have rather misogynistic societies. Among these four Asian countries, India and China are the worst. Since the 1970s, unborn girls have been disappearing to prevent the continent from having 163 million more women and girls than men and boys. In many Asian countries, such as China, the government determines the number of children each family can have. Older daughters are not usually "lost" or aborted because they are the first born and the family is thrilled to have a new breathing soul in their home. However, middle of paper...... Do we choose to decrease the number of men in these developing countries to take revenge on the men who have oppressed women for centuries and centuries, or will we choose to help our children progress, regardless of their gender? As women, we can choose to see the value of both sides, not just one. Works Cited “Sex ratio imbalance in Asia: trends, consequences and policy responses”. 29 October 2007. UNFPA.
