Universities should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every subject. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Past feminist movements have boosted gender equality in the society which leads to the argument that male and female should be equally admitted by universities in every subject. But this is an idea exists only in a Utopia community.
It is universally recognized that male and female have distinctive disparities both mentally and physically. Take men for example, generally speaking men are ambitious in their work than handling family relationships. They are physically tougher, which is the reason why most fierce sports games are dominated by male athletes. Women, however, are family-oriented and physically weaker compared to men. Therefore, female more often than not are received as a more amiable role responsible for family errands. Hence it can be concluded that differences between men and women make certain fields of work preferable to women, and others to men.
Although, such disparities should not be taken as an excuse of sexism. Feminist movements have liberalized so many women out of shackles of the venal convention which in turn has contributed talents to the market. It has granted women with great amour-proper by allowing them to work and stand on their own feet. Thus, phenomena like glass ceiling must be got rid of to provide women a decent life. Yet, let's not rush into the conclusion of indiscriminate gender equality for some limits are set out of the protection to women such as mining industry.
To conclude, the fact that men are favorable in some lines of work considering their gender features must be respected. Nonetheless, such an ideology shall be cautiously entertained and distinguished from sexism. Guided by this attitude, a society with health circle of development where the talents of both gender be put to the utmost use can be built.

It is universally recognized that men and women have distinctive mental and physical disparities . For example, men are more ambitious in their work than they are with handling familyrelationshipsresponsibilities . Men are physically stronger than women which is the reasonwhy men are involved in more physically demanding sports compared to female athletes . Women, however, are family-oriented and physically weaker compared to men. Therefore, women are seen as more suitedto family affairs compared to men . Because of the differences between men and women it can be concluded that men and women are suited to different fields of work .
The physical and mental disparities between men and women should not be used as an excuse for sexism. Feminist movements have liberalized so many women out of shackles of the venal convention which in turn has contributed to successful female workers in the workforce and academia . It has granted women with great amour-proper by allowing themthe right to work andstand on their own feetbe independent . The glass ceiling phenomena must be got rid oferadicated in order to provide women a decent life. Yet, I do not think we should rush into the conclusion of indiscriminate gender equality because there are some limits put forth in order to protect womensuch as mining industry . For example, there are limits put forth in the mining industry because it is a dangerous and physically demanding job.
In conclusion, I think that there are certain types of work that are suited to men's characteristics and this should be respected. However, the ideology of gendered work should be cautiously entertained and distinguished from sexism. Guided with an attitude of gender equality, a healthy society can be developed where the talents of both genders are appreciated .
Some More Advice:
You might want to explain what you mean by the phrase "glass ceiling phenomena" in your third paragraph.
In your second paragraph you argue that it is "universally recognized" that men and women have distinctive mental and physical differences. I want to point something out about this argument. Just because something is universally accepted/recognized by a lot of people doesn't mean that it is the correct assumption or information. The universal belief that women and men are inherently different comes from a biological determinist view of gender. The discipline of human biology often presents clear-cut differences between the sexes with regards to chromosomes, genetics, and inheritance. However, while there are obvious physical differences between males and females that develop during puberty, hormonal differences are not absolute which is why biological determinism of gender is flawed. More specifically, there are broad ranges of reproductive anatomy that doesn't fit the "gender definition" or clear-cut divisions of male or female and the existence of intersexed humans and animals proves this point. So while there may be physical differences between men and women that are genetic and/or physical it is important to understand that some of these differences are socially and culturally constructed. There is a BIG difference between sex and gender. Sex is biological and gender is socially and culturally constructed and, for the most part, is not rooted in anything biological. This brings me to my next point about gender roles.
When you argue that men and women have physical you are arguing something that is biological. Men and women tend to have different physical strengths this is because men are generally able to develop more muscle because they have more testosterone. Again, this division is not absolute because there some women and intersexed individuals who have higher levels of testosterone who are also able to develop substantial physical strength and muscle mass. You mention that women and men have different mental capabilities but you don't give any support for this argument. It is true that men and women have biological differences (there are differences between a male versus female brain) that may, in turn, affect their mental capabilities. See this article for further information on the biological, physical differences between a male and female brain: webmd.com/balance/features/how-male-female-brains-differ?page=2. There is no problem in arguing that there are differences between the male and female brain which might affect mental capabilities; however, there is a problem with arguing that men are more ambitious in their work and women are better with family affairs because these arguments are based on your views of gender roles and are rooted in biological differences between the sexes.
I have marked in bold the parts of your argument that are about gender roles rather than characteristics that have to do with the biological differences and characteristics of the sexes. Gender roles are cultural and personal. This means that gender roles are culturally and socially constructed, they are not biological. There is no biological reason to believe that women would be better suited to family-related jobs because (after all) both men and women are needed to create children. The belief that women are better at family- related responsibilities and men are better/more ambitious in business are both culturally constructed gender roles based on your views of masculinity and femininity. There is absolutely no biological evidence that suggests that a woman is not as successful or ambitious in the workplace compared to a man. Similarly, there is no biological reason why a man could not be as responsible with family affairs as a woman. In fact, there are some men who make better parents then women. You are allowed to believe that women would be better suited to family-based jobs but be careful to distinguish between what you see as a biological difference versus what you believe to be appropriate gender roles. Remember that gender roles are cultural and personal. What you may determine to be appropriate for men and women in terms of how they should speak, dress and interact within the context of society may not be the same for another person in another cultural or socio-political context.

There is no problem in arguing that there are differences between the male (...)
I would like to correct something about this statement. This is what I meant to say:
"There is no problem in arguing that there are differences between the male and female brain which might affect mental capabilities; however, there is a problem with arguing that men are more ambitious in their work and women are better with family affairs because these arguments are based on your views of gender roles and are NOT rooted in the biological differences between the sexes".
thank you very much, it's very helpful to me, i appreciate it
