Hmm... I will say yes for the 1st question because firstly, women can cook so that they will not starve...
Secondly, I think that without the women, we (the men) cant live on Earth because of cooking (as i mentioned in the first paragraph)... Basically, its the women who cares for the society.. (For me that is...)
I mean...its like...they have the ability to become natural care-givers because i think, the women are the ones who care a lot for the men.. I mean a lot!
I think...its the women's personal choice to stay home because some of them might ask their grandparents to take care of their child and some might become a housewife in order to take care of their child...
About the men... I dont think they are natural care-givers because most men are proud...I mean it, some of them are proud and thinks highly of themselves... Some men doesnt like to stay home and most of them like to go to work then staying at home...
Finally... My work... Done... (Hey... I took 30 minutes okay...)

Yes,women are natural caregivers.
But that doesn't men can't be too!
Women should be a bit flexible.
When the population rate goes up high,women should go out to expand their amount of bacon that the hubby brings home by adding to it.
If the population rate goes too low,women should start staying home and performing their conjugal duties...well.
I know what I just said is unfair but I've been influenced by Miss Liu's teaching...So the top part is the scientific version and I really feel that it's kinda of their choice to stay on at home or not.
As for men,they can be both...but the "househusband" would really need a bit more time and training to muster.

Maybe. Most women are natural care-givers. Some of them are not as they were influence by friends who are gangsters which taught them to be violence.
But the situation will change if the birth rate of a baby girl increased. If that happened, girl will look down on man and claimed themselves powerful.
The above situation won't happen if the women is a loving, caring one. In fact, all humans have caring heart, but most of them changed when they grown up especially men.
Women will be the most caring person if they had a child. They will take care of them for twenty-four hours without even saying that they're tired.
Women will take good care of their love ones especially when anything happens to them.
Like what An-naafi said, if a mother is sick, father can take over the job of mother to take care of the children and sometimes will help th massage the mother.
All humans are caring. It is only up to them if they want to.

Ermm...
For me as a woman,i don't think that women is a natural caregiven. We have two choice to chose.
One,is to stay at home taking care of childrens,doing housework, cooking delicious food our family.
Second,is find a job to work.
For me, i will choose the second choice. Because women should not totally rely on men, should not be a natural caregivers. Once Men did something wrong to us we know what to do,we have money to live.
I think that men don't really rely on women a lot, they knows how to cook, do housework.
MEN AND WOMEN ARE EQUAL...
Hi,
Regarding this topic, i personally thinks that women ARE natural care-givers, yes, they are.. but that doesn't proves that men cant be one too..
Women, the natural care-givers, have a choice of whether they want to stay at home to look after the household... but it's not a MUST... but i think that the men will have a hard time taking care of all this matters although they can be a natural care-giver too. it's like totally impossible that guys could look after the household when they can't even look after themselves, as from researchers said that men could only concentrate one thing at one time, while women are muilty tasked... thats a fact that everyone should accept.. not every men could handle all this matters... from my observation, normal men who often spent their time working, if they are asked to look afer the kids while their wives are out, they will give up less than half a day...
for the last question, it think that MEN and WOMEN should play their part of staying at home and look after the kids or maybe they could take turns to look after the kids, so both MEN and WOMEN could a care-giver as well as BIG MAN and BIG WOMEN..
hope that i didn't obstruct anything.. i just wish to comment about Zul's comment... i don't understand what women being able to cook has got to do with whether women are natural care-givers... if you are goin to talk about women being able to cook which could proves that they are natural care-givers, then that is totally ridiculous... Some men can cook too,eg. a chef, etc. but thats doesn't prove that they are natural care-givers.. seriously, everyone could be a care-giver, regardless of MEN or WOMEN...
thats all...
bye!!!

Yay I’m not so late . Haha . Okay okay . Let’s start with my answer .
Firstly, I totally do not agree with the statement, “Women are natural care-givers” because firstly, women are not born to give birth for men, and are certainly not born to feel obliged to take care of men .
As for the second question, I think men should stay at home and take care of children . If they do not know how, they can learn . How do women know how to take care of children ? They are not born to know all these - they learn . So I think women are not obliged to stay at home and take care of the children while her husband goes out to work . It’s the 21st century now . Everything is flexible . There are men staying at home to do housework while his wife goes out to work, and it works out just fine . The idea of women staying at home to take care of the children and men out at work instead, is something of the past .
Okay . That’s all . Sayonara . !
hey!
To me, I think that women should stay at home and take care of the children.
The reason I say this is because women are more tender and loving towards children.Most of them are.Secondly women are more mature than men.The women these days think about thier career more than having a family of thier own.Even though women do have a family of thier own, they would hire a nanny or a maid.Most parents will put thier kids in childcare.Usually couples will be working most of the time and has no time looking after thier kids.
Honestly, to me, i think that men are natural care-givers.I realise that men are more sensitive and emotional than women are.Just because women can sew, cook and clean does not mean that men cannot.Men can do these things but most of them just could not care less about it as they regard this as "women's stuff".
What happens if the wife dies after giving birth to a baby?The husband will take care of the baby himself.This way, he will learn how to do "women's stuff" and understand that its not so bad to learn what women do.Unless he re-marries.
Lastly, I think that its mostly the women's choice weather to stay at home or work.I think its quite interesting to see men doing womens work as most men think that the job of a housewife is simple.
Well that's it!
Hope you like it Miss Ang!

hihi...
ms ang....
I agree...Women have the talent to learn faster than guys.Thus we could learn more things than guys.If you ask them to do a house chore, I think it would take them a million years to finish.Hah...So don't look down on women.We have our own talents.OK??
(especially to guys out there...)
I don't agree too...So what even if women have the talent??Guys work all day long,no interaction between the father and children.This would make the children think that their father don't dote on them as much (although they still buy presents for them).Is it true that women are natural care-givers??Nope is my answer,because guys know how to cook when they are in secondary schools right(homeconomics)??They just don't want to be a househusband,that's all...They want "face"...
To the second part of the question,I think women should stay at home to take care of the children.If the guys stayed,then I think the children at home will be eating all those UNHEALTHY stuff everyday.Or rather,will be starving at home(because father cook too long).
BUT...What if women and men stay at home??That will be better!!!The women can coach the guys in cooking and house chores.And the men can teach us what they learn from the society(so that we would not lag in the 21st century)...
But when both parents stay at home,then it means no work and no income...That is totally BAD...Children will be begging parents to go and work!!!They don't want to starve,that's alright...OK??
Conclusion from the above...
Parents must go and work,but at the same time,not forgetting about their children... >.<"

Firstly, yes , i do think women are natural care-givers , but i do not think all of them are .
Secondly , i think women should stay at home to take care of their children , but maybe only for a few years , when their children were still small . but as they grew , i guess mothers can already look for work to earn money, either leaving their children alone at home or hire babysitters to take care of them .
Men can also stay at home , if they are not as active as they should be . However , i do think men are natural care-givers , just like women , but they are rougher , and not all of them really are care-givers .
if both men and women stay at home , i do not think that is a good idea as how do they earn money if both do not work ?
but i guess it is better for women to stay at home than men as women and mothers knows best (=
i gues i am done here :D
I strongly agree that women are natural care-givers. When they have a child, the child is part of the mother and she would love to take care of her own child. Because the child has been in his mother for nine months in her womb and they would naturally feel close to them but children also need their father's attention.
The father could also stay at home but nobody would be able to support them financially, however, the father could give his attention to his child when he get home from work. In that way, the child gets attention from both parents. Both parents should give their time to their children so as to build a stronger bond between them.
The woman should stay at home to take care of their children but times have changed, women now prefer working than to staying at home because they still need more money to support the family. But some women still prefer to stay at home to look after their children, cook for them and do the house chores.
The parents of the child should take turns to look after the children so that the child could get attention and the parents could get some time off from the children. It is really up to the mother whether she should stay at home or have a job but they are natural care-givers as it is part of their nature.

I disagree that women are natural care-givers as some women abandon their children, and every woman has their own character. Men generally also caring, it only depends on how they express their care and concern.
I agree, because it is their children and they cannot push the responsibility to maids to teach them what to do everyday. What if the maid teaches them the wrong things? In the end, it is still your children that suffer. If your children become bad, it is not their problem. And the other thing is that the maid spent most of the time at home, maybe with the children, and they will be dependent to the maid and one day if you decide to fire they maid, they will not know what to do.
Generally, I think that women should stay at home to take care of their children. It can also develop a stronger bond with their children.
That's all...
Bye! ...
I disagree.I do not think that women are the natural care-giver.I think men should also do their part.
Women should not stay at home all the time.They should also go to work.We canot only have one parent finding income for the family.It will not be enough,but,I think women should only stay at home when their children are still young.When the children are old enough to take care of themself,women should not stay at home.
Men should also help out and not let the women do everything.
My point is that women should only stay at home when the kids are still young.As for men,they should help out.

Hmm...Quite a tough question.
I disagree that women are natural care-givers because they are not born with this natural ability. Why did I say so? In the past, women do not receive or receive very little education as they were not given the chance to study or it was their tradition for them not to study. Since they did not receive any education, their status was lower compared to men and they can’t find a job easily. Thus, they can only stay at home to take care of the children.
I think women should not stay at home to take care of the children as it is not their duty. Since the educational system now has improved, most of the women get to receive an education. With an education, women are now more career-minded and they tend to let the men take care of the children. Thus men can also be natural care-givers. Though many people think that men are not natural care-givers, but I think they can be. They just need more time and practices to be a natural care-giver.
Hui Xuan :p
Hmm.. I would say yes for the first question that women are natural care-givers because firstly, they could provide us food and cook for us so that we would not feel hungry.
Secondly, they could take care of us if we are sick like flu or chicken-pox etc. They could buy us medicine for us to recover and we can go to school and would miss lessons.
Thirdly, they could guide us in our studies. For example if we do not know how to do the particular homework, we could ask them to give some ideas of how to do the homework.
And lastly, they could educate us so that we could be a good boy or a girl.
But that does not mean that men could not be a natural care-giver because if a women is sick or is going overseas to do some official meeting, men can take over the job of becoming a natural care-giver
Yes =)
i agree that women are natural care givers. =)
actually, the answer differs.
all women have different thinking, some might want to stay at home to show their excellent skills of house keeping or some might wish to get out of the house and be a career women, to show that their equally as capable as men. =)
what men can do women can too. =)
But for me, i would prefer women to get out of house and get to work, because, we should not have a wrong concept that women must always stay at home and be a 100% house wife..
I think that men actually have the potential to stay at home and take care of children, in fact everybody have this potential, it's just whether or not they want to show out their skills of child bringing and cooking..
Men can does equally as well as women in house keeping too =)
But the best thing of all, what i think should be, is, to share their workload, take turns to do each of one another's part, so that women can get to know the hardships of men and not say men's job is easy, no need to be cope at home and get to go out. And that, men should learn to understand the hardships of women staying at home cooking, taking care of child and doing house work.. and not say that it'll be relaxing at home instead of outside working..
Working outside: Get to bear with the unreasonable boss, stress, heavy workload.
Staying at home: Bored, always do the same thing, cook, fetch the kid, cook, teach the kid, cook, reprimand the kid. It's stress to have naughty kids too ..
Should let men and women understand each of their hardships so as not to take each other for granted and understand that women are not always SUPPOSE to serve the family and men.
hi...
i think that women are natural care-giver as women are always known as the ones at home looking after the children and there's a term called 'housewives' not 'househusbands', right??
i think that men also be natural care-givers but they are not as thoughtful as the women... At this point of view, i don't think that men are suitable to stay at home instead as women are more considerate than the men.. (no offence)...
but its both men and women's responsibilty to look after the kids.. if the mother is working too as well as the father, they should at least take a day off to spent time with their kids instead of throwing them to the maids as if their kids are the maids'
i know this is out of the point but it can prove that some parents were working till late and hardly see their children and also its not a must that every women should stay at home to look after the kids...
thats all i have to say... =)
Terence...
These beliefs of women are natural care-givers so women should stay home to take care of children have passed from generation to generation.
There is no answer to the earlier part of the questions because women nowadays are more conscious of their work and tend to be more self-centered. The belief of women are natural caregivers can only apply to women in the past, so therefore there is no answer to this question.
In the past, women were to stay at home to take care of the children while the men will go out to work to support the family. Nowadays, women can work to support themselves and can be very selfish and think about themselves first before thinking about others.
Whether women should stay home to take care of their children depends on which kind of character they have. Some of them have the traditional thinking of staying home as a housewife and to take care of the children.
For the traditional thinking women, they can do the household chores and taking care of the children perfectly but to the women who are more of the modern type, they prefer to work than to stay at home to take care of their children and do the household chores themselves. They would rather hire a maid to clean the house of a nanny to take care of their children.
Men are natural care-givers? This I would give a 60% to ‘no’ and 40% to ‘yes’. Men can be natural care-givers but this only applies to some of them. Men definitely can take care of the children but I am quite sure they would mess everything up if they handle everything alone.
Some men care about other people and not as self-centered as the ‘typical’ men who do not care at all.
The ‘typical’ men who cares only about themselves will not care about what people think and just go according to what they think and continue to hurt others. Those kinds of men will not be able to make it when it comes to them taking care of their own children.

I disagree with this because women are not born to take care of men only.
I think women should stay at home because they should take care of their children but when their children grow enough, women should go and find job outside to earn more for their children's future.
Men also can stay at home also because they can help women take care of their children but men are rougher than women so that not all of them are stay at home and help women they could be go and work outside.
If both men and women stay at home, I think that is good and bad ideas, for the good idea is they can help each other take care of their children but for the bad idea is they will not earn any money for their children
Ming...
I agree that women are natural care-givers because usually women stayed at home to cook and to care for their children while men work outside.
I also think that women should stay at home to take care of their children as they were natural care-givers afterall.
For men i do not think they should stay at home instead they should work outside to support the family financially.
Personally I do not think men are natural care-givers because usually they are very proud of themselves and therefore they might not go down to the level of care-givers.I feel that its not natural for men to stay at home and care for their children.
Lastly i believe that both men and women could be natural care-givers as long as they are caring.I mean people can chose their own ways and in this case both men and women can choose to be a care-giver.
Well,I thinks that I would say yes for the first question as most of the women are able to do those houseworks such as cleaning or cooking better than men.
I thinks women should stay at home doing housework and take care of children because most of the women are better than the men when coming to the subject housework as they had more patience.If they managed to concentrate at the housework and the things that they want to do,then it ok for them for not staying at home.As you see nowadays,those new couples would leave their children to their grandparents to take care of so that they able to continue their careers.
On the other hand,i do not think that men should not stay at home because when most of men come to the subject housework,they would be more clumsy than the women.Usually,men would have the kinds of driving spirits and over confidence so they think that they able to leave houseworks to women and they would be doing greater jobs.
My comments ends here.
Phew!Today is the last day.

Hi Miss Ang, I am Debbie using Angela's account.
No, I do not agree that woman should stay at home to take care of children. As we are now living in the 21st century, we should have change the mindset of only women could take care of children. Men also could take care of children. Both women and men are not natural care-givers, it is just that some of them are more patient compared to others.
I think women should not stay at home for the whole time to take care of children. Most of the women would rather hire a maid to help them to take care of their children, as they are working. Men staying at home to look after children may not be accepted by the society. From the past till now, men have been recognize by others that they should work to support the family, and not staying at home to do housework or look after children. If they do so, people would think that they are useless.
Not all men are natural care-givers. As we are not born to know everything. So some of them have to learn how to show care and concern towards each other.
Women and men staying at home are rare to be seen nowadays. As many of them are busy working, and spend very less time at home.
-Debbie-
Hi Miss Ang,
No, I do not agree that women are natural care-givers, so therefore they should not stay at home to take care of children. Nobody is born to be a care-giver.
As now we are living in the 21st century and not in the olden days so we should have a change of mindset. Nowadays, most women are career-minded and they do not want children to affect their work. They would rather hire a maid to take care of the children as if they were to take care of the children themselves, they might lose their jobs. For example: pregnant women have 3 months of maternity leave and the company would need to find a replacement. So by the time they come back, their positions might be replaced by others.
I think men should not stay at home to take care of children instead they should have a job as they are the head of the family. If men stay at home and look after the children while women work, others might think that this man is useless and he cannot provide for the family. Therefore his wife has to work and be the sole breadwinner of the house while he looks after children.
No, I do not think that men are natural care-givers. In fact, nobody is born to be a care-giver. I think men and women should go and work and just let the maid or their parents take care of their children as they can concentrate more on their work.
-Angela-
hi ^^
i am yong yi .
firstly i agree that women are natural care givers.
but secondly, i do not agree that women should stay at home, even though they are natural care givers. i think that women should go out to work and do their part for the family by making more money so that the women's family can get to enjoy more.
Maybe it would be very unsafe for the lady and man to get out to work and leave their kids at home, but when getting out at work can make more money and increase the family income, why not?
and with more money, they could employ a maid to take care of the kids and also, with a maid around, the husband and wife can get to spent quality time with each other without the hassle of taking care of children, it would also bond them together even more.
But even so, they should NOT forget to spent time with their kids too, should organise more family outings to have a closer bonding between the small family.
Maybe men should try and stay at home to try out how it feels like to be a housemen, maybe some might like it and think it's a more easier job then going out to work, and if the lady would prefer getting out to work, i would suggest they exchange and do what they really want.
that's all i haf to say =D
good bye ms ang! ^^
No ,not all women can be a care-giver because not all women can cook .Most of the time , people would say taking care of children and cooking is a job for women,which is not true because there is no rule saying that only female can do a good job. Nowadays,most women have high education therefore they have high ranking job which they do not want to lose.If a women wants to be a care-giver,it is possible . Just a small of group of them have to put in lots of efforts to learn how to cook, take care of child etc.
Well, i think man can handle the job of taking care of all the housework in the house because they
have a pair of hands which can be use to do housework . Most man can't cook,they can learn how to cook as there is always a first time in evreything .
Sorry for my late comment as my computer is spoil.
Firstly, I do not think that women are nature care-giver as women have their own rights to choose whether they wan to be a care-giver or not.
Secondly, I do not think that women should stay at home if they do not want, unless they want to take care their own children or others. Maybe there are some women are good at their work or like their work so they can work or otherwise the men stay at home to take care the children or others.
Thirdly, thinking about men stay at home is actually not a bad idea as they are strong can do all the chores at home and all the heavy work, can even save the money for hiring a maid.
Sorry for my late work...

I agree that women are natural care-giver.They are circumspect and they can take care of children very comprehensive.
Without women they will not live very comfortable.
I think its women's own choice whether to stay or go to work. A lot of women chose to stay home to take care of their children.
But also have some women which very strong,they earn money for the whole family. I admire those women who earn money for the whole family.
I do not think men are natural care-givers because most of the men are careless. They cannot take care of children properly and they do not like to stay at home.They think they are men ,they should go to work.

i think that women are natural care-givers which means that they should stay at home. but the men will also have to put in responsibilties of looking after the household too...
i don't totally agree that women should always be the one staying at home. they also have their freedom of finding a job. although women are a better care-giver than men but that doesnt proves that men are not. if men are not care-givers, every husband wouldn't dote on their wives and go out working.. to earn more for their family to have a better life... they doesn't wish that their wives work so hardly at home too...
everyone can be a care-giver, its the amount that makes the difference... men often spent their time at work, which might lead misunderstanding to their wives who are staying at home... the women will never know whether their husband really goes to work or went out to play.. they always grew suspicion because their husband is always out and had not given much care to the family... some children grew to hate their parents too because they think that their parents are always not spending time with them...
after all, ,men and women are both care-givers... for both working parents, they should at least spend a day or two with their kids to let them know that the family is more important than work... for working husbands, they should spend more time with their family and not always think of earning more in order to let their family have a better life.
Kelvin
Yes i agree.I think that women are natural care-givers as they mostly do the houseworks ,cookings and take care of their children.
I think women should stay home
to take care of their children
as they are caring and understanding.But that does not
mean that women must always stay home for their children.They have a choice to find a job.
Men could be natural care-givers
as some of them are good cooks and
caring.But i think most men would not stay home taking care of children ,cooking and doing the houseworks as they are not as flexible as the women.I think that men have the thought that they
were the one who are responsible
to earn money and support their
family.
Agree. Women are natural care-giver.
I think the women should stay at home, taking care of the children. Waiting for their children to get older to the age of 5-7.While the child is schooling, mother also can go find job helping her husband to earn money.
I also think that men are care giver.
Most of the men will go for work. After they(the men) came back from work , it is time for men to help their wife taking of baby.
Men and Women both are natural care giver. Men will care lesser then the women , because women know how to cook and do alot of house thing better then men.Without women, the men sure cannot take care for the children by his own.
I am Michelle
Humm....I think women are the natural care giver...Because most of the girls are more gentilesse and attentive than boys or anyone...Women also cook well...Because men always go out and work for family...And women would stay at home and cook for their husband...
Long time ago...Women always stay at home and wait for their husband...After the men finish working and back home...Women had their ability to cook for them...
Like in early century,.,All the men go out and work...And women stay at home...Women took care of their children...Finish their housework.,.Took care of the family..And also cook for the family.,.Men had their ability to earn money for his own family...And women had their ability to take care of the whole family...Maybe that is the reason why women become a natural care giver....
Also..Men need women.They need women to care about them...Need women to take care of the family and children...Need women to cook for them after they work the whloe day for his own family...
Imagine what will happen if the world without women?
Men had become no reason to life anymore...Men still life because of women..Men and Women need each other.,.Without each other,they will become no reason to life anymore.,.So women are very important to men,to family,and even the whole world...
Women are more gentiliesse so women always stay at home and take care of the grandparents and children.,then they will become a natural care giver..Women also the only ONE that will always care about men...
While men are different.,.They are not gentiliesse than any girls...So they are not fit to be the vare taker of the family...Women will be more fit to do this job.
So i agree that women is the natural care giver.
San: The fact that women are natural care-givers is not thoroughly explained. It is just because of past traditions and notions that women had to stay home and take care of the family. So this does not mean that we should blindly follow what has been practised.
Your 3rd para said "Personally I do not think men are natural caregivers' then in your 4th para, you concluded "Lastly I believe that both men and women could be natural caregivers." See the contradiction?
Junxian: What is the meaning of 'driving spirits'? Exorcism?
You mean to say that you agree with those men with stereotypical ideas who has "driving spirits and over confidencer" as you said that women should stay home.
Debbie and Angela: The solution you have both provided is to hire a maid.
However, a maid = woman; female.
Once again, we beg the question once more: Are women natural care-givers?
Yong Yi: a maid = solution = female. Why is it unsafe to leave men at home with children? You didn't support why you think women are natural caregivers.
Liying: good 1st para but you had no conclusion.
Aileen: balanced view but inadequate support. You did not define what a natural caregiver is, or agree if women are natural caregivers. You've only zoomed in on free will to choose what to do.
Yichao: What do you mean when you say that 'take care of children very comprehensive'? You've got no conclusion or answered the question if women should stay home.
Kelvin - good job! Yes to saying that everyone can be a caregiver, that men cares as he dotes on his wife and works hard, and good summing up. If only you hand in your work, I'm sure you'll do well this year.
Barnabas: just because women can do housework, are they now natural caregivers? Ok with the comment about men thinking that they should be the sole breadwinners.
Win: your single sentence 'I also think that men are caregivers' is not supported. Then you stated that men CANNOT take care of children. What is your stand?
Michelle: why can't you put full-stops instead of elipsis (...) in your paragraphs? It is grammatically wrong and makes it very difficult to read.
What is the meaning of gentilesse? You've misspelt it by the way.
'Gentilesse' - appropriate behaviour of a member from the GENTRY
'Gentry' - upper/ruling class
You've totally misused the word without comprehending its meaning, making your comment foolish.
sorry for so late reply because my com gt problem.
To me strongly disagree that women are natural care-givers.Firstly,women and men are equal both are human,both need water,air and food to stay alive.Then why can't men be care-givers?
For question two it depend on how a woman think.If she wants to stay at home to take care of children then let it be,but if she dosen't want then forget it.To me both men and women are care-givers because as what I say in quesion one both are equal!Why men always say that they cannot be a care-giver?Why don't they just say they don't want or they are lazy?To me I will say is they are lazy so that why they will push every thing to the women.If men say they don't know how to cook,wash cloths,mop floor,take care of childern and all the other kind of housework...Then why can't they learn?Don't tell me thay don't have a brain to learn?So to me both men and women can be care-givers!
I'm done with my comment.Really sorry about the late work.

Zul: just because women can cook doesn't mean that they are natural caregivers! DO you realise that the world's famous chefs are mostly men?
Sean: As much knowledge as you have exhibited during Ms Liu's Geog class, you've given me irrelevant comments regarding if women should stay home as they are natural caregivers.
Halim: A lopsided argument as you didn't talk about men's capabilities.
Elena: Poor argument, if there's any at all. Nothing was discussed or supported. Merely your own feelings and no concrete opinions.
JOlie: Ok argument and good support on men's abilities. But what are 'BIG WOMEN' and 'BIG MEN'? I do not tolerate Chinese-translated phrases. This is how Singlish came about.
Weilin: Good job! Too short a comment though, and I've instructed all of you to write a minimum of 150 words so that there will be ample arguments. If you have written more to support your statement, you could have gotten higher marks.
Fithri: good job.
Shanhui: You've contradicted yourself when you said that men know how to cook since secondary school but they 'take too long' to cook? And that they cook 'unhealthy' food for their children? I also didn't ask if it is RIGHT for women to stay home and not work.\
Qurrah: Once again, I didn't ask if if men AND women should stay home.
Jenina: balanced and well-written argument. Good.
Zhong Yi: Why discuss about the disadvantages of having a maid? Once again, maid = female, so did you answer the question if females are natural caregivers?
Natasha: first part of the question was left unanswered.
HuiXuan: Good.
An-naafi: Like my comment for Zul's, most of the world's famous chefs are males. Taking care of children when they are ill or coaching in studies - are these skills ONLY WOMEN can have? Second part of the question was left unanswered.
Yiyin: Good, but first part of the question if women are natural caregivers is left unaddressed.
Terence: you've lost focus of the main part of the question about women. ANd just because past stereotypical notions that women stay home to take care of the household chores and children does not mean that we have to blindly follow the past traditions.
Jialee: Too many personal opinions without supported objective statements - 'I am quite sure they would mess everything up'.
What do you mean when you wrote: 'Those kinds of men will not be able to make it...' MAKE WHAT? Do not use colloquail/informal language.
Ming: Balanced but first part of the question was left unaddressed.
Riyan: First part of the question was not addressed. Your comment was quite emotional.
