Q Do women workers receive fair treatment in Hong Kong?

I don't think that women are treated unfairly in the working environment of Hong Kong. Men are good at systematising, while women excel in sympathising. This is an unchangeable fact, correct? Nowadays, we must count not only fairness but also effectiveness and efficiency.

In reference to the case of the woman engineer who felt she had been discriminated against, actions speak louder than words.

Girls are physically weaker than boys. In a different industry, different requirements are needed. I am sure accountancy and law, which require a higher understanding and recognition of things, are more suitable for girls.

What companies demand are capable workers. We must try to fit into the harsh environment but not complain about the salary and treatment.
