Different sex, "same opportunities?

Are you completely sure that women have the same opportunities than a man in the same circumstances?

    Over the years, differences between men and women have decreased more and more. A thousand years ago women did not work or vote. A hundred years ago some worked and they started to vote. Today they can go freely to the polls and the majority of them work. Nevertheless, some statistics say that we have not reached gender equality. 
   Every so and so the Media starts a debate about it, but in my opinion, they do not speak clear. They focus their speeches on salaries and social benefits but they do not talk about position, power or in general, money. There are very few powerful women (except Angela Merkel) and there are no famous business women. In addition there are no women in the top ten of the richest. 
  This aspects are changing but they appears in the society slowly, really slowly. Why are there so many girls at the university (at least in Spain there are more women than men studying a degree) and no too many at the headquarters? I think that there are lot of troubles for them. For example, maternity, ambitions and the main problem, there are still lots of male chauvinists who rule our world. 
  In conclusion, does a woman have the same opportunities? It depends. If you are talking about low or medium level society I think the answer is “almost yes”. But if you are talking about high level world (big companies, government presidents or, in general, richest) the answer is “Not at all”.
