Hello fellow @ladiesofhive, we are here again with another exciting topic for this week.
When I saw the topic, I smiled and began reminiscing over my life of over three decades and realized I've really spent some Christmas here though 😆😂.
I am @patakwashj and in my early 30s

Thirty (30) Years Ago

Some decades ago there were some professions you less or no female due to the fact that it was believe that

a woman's education ends in the kitchen

Even when a woman is highly educated she is relegated to the kitchen, taking care the home and kids.
She is not reference in the society neither was her opinion considered.

A lot of brains wasted in the four corners of the house because of her gender and when it comes to some family decisions, a woman is shut and never consulted .

In most African countries, a woman's education is considered a waste of resources because it is believed she will be married off, stay under a man who will enjoy the dividend of the parents' sweat.

Change

Over the years, there has been drastic change about where a woman belongs.
We see a lot of women making waves in different parastatal.
The entertainment, education, military, medicals, engineering, fashion and everything you could think of.
I know a lady (Gloria) who is into painting and screeding which was considered "a man's job" before now.

Gloria at work and at leisure

Positive change
.

I believe involving women in every profession of life has lessen the burden on the men. Yes whether they men agree or not, they have been eased financially and psychologically.
Imagine if a man was to cater and also take decision all the time because he is a man, he would have crashed especially in this era of ravaging economy breakdown.

However, I won't forget some women who are holding their shoulder high because they were allowed to manage somethings but I bet you, any woman who is rubbing shoulders with a man doesn't know what she is doing. I am against that totally.
