People have a fixed concept that women should stay home and handle all housework. Women accepted it for the sake of her family. At my mother’s generations, blind date was in fashion. They got marry in short time after dating with each other. My mother was only 23 that year. She told me that she had a lot of goals to achieve, but she had to take care of her family even now. I mean, she was not regretted for her marriage but felt pity that she couldn’t achieve her goals.
Today, I read an article on internet website. The title was International Survey Shows Philippines Tops in Women Managers. Statistics showed in this content that more and more women wanted to take part in jobs. They thought they were as good as men. Undoubtedly, more women now stood at the same position with men on their jobs. In Philippines, women held half of the senior management jobs in the country. Obviously, women proved their abilities by working hard. Husband should approve their wife to have a job if they want.

You should start with "Some people" or "Many people", not just "People". You need to qualify this statement so that the reader doesn't think that you believe that all people have this fixed concept. It just isn't true that everyone believes this.
"for the sake of their families". This implies a nobility to women that just isn't true. They did it, for the most part, because they had no choice. There literally was nothing else for women to do. You need to check your facts before you make such claims.
"In my mother's generation, blind dates were".
"They got marry in short time after dating with each other." This is a strange sentence and an unbelievable claim, I'm afraid. It must be a mistranslation. I Japan, young people thought by their parents and a matchmaker to be suitable for each other were introduced at what the Japanese call an "o-miai" (お見合い) or "marriage interview", which can be considered a "blind date" see: http://www.japanese123.com/omiai.htm. It normally took place at a high-class restaurant and included both families as well as the potential bride and groom. These kinds of events still occur in Japan, but they don't always end up with the couple getting married a short time later.
It would not be surprising to learn that Taiwan adopted this practice from the Japanese, or that the Japanese adopted it from the Chinese during the 1000 years if Sino-Japanese cultural contact before Japan captured Taiwan as a colony in 1895.
"I mean, she was not regretted for her marriage but felt pity that she couldn’t achieve her goals." This isn't idiomatic English. It has to be "She has not regretted her marriage, but she does feel that it is a pity she couldn’t achieve her pre-marriage personal goals."
"Statistics showed in this content that more and more women wanted to take part in jobs." is strange. Maybe it means this: "The statistics in this article showed that an increasing number of women want to work full-time and support themselves."
"Husband should approve their wife to have a job if they want." is not a positive way of saying what you want to say. If you believe that women are equal to men and ought to have the same rights and opportunities to work and succeed in the world of work, then you cannot ask that husbands "approve" of their wives' working. That still implies that women are subordinate to men. The only reasonable arrangement between a husband and wife -- in my humble opinion -- is that they both agree on how they want to live their lives together, have a successful marriage, and live the kinds of individual lives they want and can live while being married to each other, is to sit down and discuss what they want and will accept and will sacrifice in order to make it possible for each to have as much as possible of what they each want for themselves and for each other. A good marriage takes two people willing to compromise, not a husband or a wife who is the "boss".
I think women should finish their goals before marrying. Besides, marry to a good man is important.
Women treated unfair in ancient time. But now women can choise the life they want. I wish you can make your dream come true and don't leave any regretted.
It is quite true that women are as good as men, and if we take the ability of taking responsibility, women are even "better" than men.
I think women now should have capacity to live by themselves. I always believe that women can do everything as men do.
That's why so many women don't like to get married now. They think they can take care of themselves. Otherwise, they don't need to share their money with their husbands.
It seems that everybedy are discussing this issue excited and agreeable. I have the same opinion with you. Cheer up!! Women.
