우리나라는 아직도 주로 여성이 육아를 하는 것 같아.
In our country, it seems like women still do most of the childcare.
맞아, 여성이 결혼과 출산 후에도 일을 할 수 있도록 인식과 제도가 개선되어야 해.
Right, awareness and systems need to improve so women can work after marriage and childbirth.
나는 여성과 남성을 구분하는 언어는 너무 어렵더라.
I find languages that distinguish between women and men really hard.
응, 한국어에는 성 구분이 없으니까 어려울 수 있지.
Yeah, since Korean doesn't have gender distinctions, it can be difficult.

Yeah. When I needed help and people treated it as someone else's problem, that hurt.
지수랑 싸웠다더니 화해는 했어?
I heard you fought with Jisu, did you make up?

These 15 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 8 2급 words in this category — 여성, 지방, 남, 사장, 부장 and the rest. Each is two turns, so what you see is not only how the word is used but what it is usually said in answer to.
They are written examples rather than transcribed speech, so they are tidier than a real conversation and shorter. What they are not is translated English: they were written in Korean, by Korean lexicographers, to show how the word behaves — which is why the speech levels and the sentence endings in them are worth copying.
