Today, I would like to talk about being a surgeon, a job that was traditionally considered more suitable for men.

​In the past, many people believed that women weren't "strong enough" to stand for many hours in the operating room, or that they might be too emotional for such high-pressure work. Because of these outdated stereotypes, surgery was often seen as a male-dominated field.

​However, to be a great surgeon, the most important qualities are precision, deep medical knowledge, and mental toughness. These skills are not determined by gender

​Precision: Both men and women can have the "steady hands" needed for delicate operations.

​Stamina: With proper training, anyone can build the physical endurance required for long surgeries.

​Today, we see many talented female surgeons performing complex life-saving operations every day. This proves that professionalism and expertise are what matter most, not whether the doctor is a man or a woman.

In my opinion, the main reason for this trend is the deep-rooted preference for sons in Vietnamese culture, as many families believe they need a son to carry on the family lineage. Additionally, modern medical technology allows for gender selection, which worsens the situation. I think this is a serious issue because it leads to a gender imbalance, making it difficult for men to find partners in the future and causing social instability. We should promote gender equality to solve this problem."
