Although most of people hold that women are playing the same role in the society as men, it's rather common that most high level jobs are taken by men. As for this phenomenon, some people suggest that the government encourage a certain percentage of these jobs to be reserved for women. But others oppose to this suggestion strongly. As I see it, both sides have their own merits.
On the one hand, only persons with rich experiences, plenty of knowledge and strong bodies are qualified for high level jobs. It's not of importance that whether they are men or women. Thus enterprises and countries can develop rapidly and smoothly. To reserve some high positions for women seems to be a pity. It couldn't fundamentally resolve the problem of inequality between male and female. Analyzing the phenomenon, we can find the real reason is the consciousness of sexual discrimination lying deeply in people's hearts. Women have lower social status, less salary, fewer opportunities in education, job and so on. All of these resulted in a shortage of many highly competent women to compete for high positions.
On the other hand, due to historical reasons and biological characters, women are to some extent restricted to put all their energy into working. So the encouragement of the government to give some priority to women is reasonable and acceptable. It can increase women's employment opportunities, enhance their confidence and really embody the social equality. In general, the key to radically realize the equality between men and women lies in giving equal chances in all rounds to women, not just a few of high level jobs.
