/^t/At first, what seems nowadays superficially preposterous is the fact that it is a female individual who finds most difficulties in being viewed as equal and treated with full respect by men. Although the process of emancipation has been already completed there will always remain some deeply rooted conceptions about women being less immune to the hardships of life. The main fields in which this can be visible is the world of politics, business and entertainment in which woman plays usually the role of a "toy" or a supplementary element.

For those to whom the above statement seems too far-fetched it is enough to look at the percentage of women in Parliament or at high offices, not to mention with whom the word 'prostitution' is usually associated.
