Original

I think it’s woman -it’s a complicated question – woman can choose not work or work – they can just stay home , do some housework – but if mans stay home and do house work some people will judge them – man have much responsible for the home – maybe usual they just think the woman is worst than work but I think now the woman just want to be the “big woman” / boss. I think if the woman and man work are equal they just think this woman will better maybe – and think this man he just need to do like this. get married woman are always be truth – be their truth – choose – man can choose a woman – in China getting married must it’s man’s choice they can decision.

Corrected

I think it’s a woman -it’s a complicated question – women can choose to work or not to work – they can just stay home , do some housework for example – but if man stays home and does house work some people will judge them – men have much responsible for the home – maybe usually they just think that women are worst at working / aren’t as good workers but I think now women just want to be the “big woman” / [boss]. I think if women and men both do an equal job / both [perform] equally they just think women will better maybe – and think this man he just needs to do like this. I think it’s easy for a man to choose a woman – in China it’s a man’s choice on when to get married.
