Speech on Women in Society Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen,

First of all I would like to start off with a joke, from the point of

view of a man, about driving.

“Driving to the office this morning on the motorway, I looked over to

my left and there was a woman in a brand new Jaguar doing 90mph with

her face up next to her rear-view mirror putting on her eyeliner.

I looked away for a couple of seconds and when I looked back she was

halfway over in my lane, still working on that make-up. It scared me

so badly; I dropped my electric shaver, which knocked the donut out of

my other hand.

In all the confusion of trying to straighten out the car using my

knees against the steering wheel, it knocked the mobile phone away

from my ear which fell into the coffee between my legs, splashed and

burned big Jim and the twins, causing me to scream, which made me drop

the cigarette out of my mouth, ruined the damn phone and disconnected

an important call.

Bloody women drivers!”

For those of you in the audience who are easily offended, that was

your cue to leave.

Tonight, I’d like to talk to you about the roles of men and women. I

will be debating the theory ‘A woman’s place is in the home.’ My view

peace on Earth for evermore.”

Men usually do not seem to have much common sense, or if they do, they

don’t use it very often.

For example:

“Moses wandered in the desert for 40 years. He wouldn’t ask for

directions.

A man would rather be burnt at the stake than admit to a woman that

he’s lost.”

In my view, a woman’s place is where she is most effective, where she

is most needed. It is a woman’s decision where she wants to be, not a

man’s. Women have a lot more to offer than just being at home. I

believe than men and women are equal. Women may even be better, but

we’ll never know if we can’t break free from the male chauvinist pigs

of our time. Men have been suppressing women and their views for

hundreds of years. Men have ruled over women for far too long. I say:

it’s our turn!
