American Women Equality

Women’s struggle for equality will remain relevant in the future as a global issue because every country today still struggles to obtain successful women’s equality. Women today are determined to fight for their rights, rights that are detrimental to the success of society. The struggle for women’s equality is something that has plagued women for centuries. Societies throughout history have been ruled by the iron fist of men, in royal families, the working class, and even within the households. This is something that is most common in todays underdeveloped countries, women are treated as being less than men and therefore do not deserve the same rights. This however is something that women have recognized as a problem and are unwavering in their fight to establish equal rights, whether it be in the United States or even Africa, the cry for equality is the same.

Equality between men and women has grown stronger, but in many ways, it is the same. We still live in a society where women are paid significantly less than men, women have less job opportunities,

Women have been a vital key to the shaping and progression of our society. Throughout time, women’s roles and opportunities in the family, workplace, and society have greatly evolved. They started from being housewives that don’t have many rights, even in the household, to being valued citizens in our

Women have virtually the same rights as men. However, the fault needing to be recognized in today’s society is the way that women are treated. Even in simple areas, such as jobs, women are put on the back burner. A woman is able to become a CEO of a company, nonetheless, she will struggle twice as hard as a man would. Even as an employee, women are statistically paid less than men are.

From flagrant magazines on the rack to photoshopped public figures to shapely models on the runway, there is no product better advertised than sex, and no sex better advertised than the feminine variety. Despite all of the legal progress for women’s equality, socially men and women will always be unequal and this injustice must be repaired. No amount of protest and no amount of activism can fix the rampant misogyny in America today, for one simple reason: it just isn’t reason enough to. Our disgraceful society needs immediate and full resolution, but fortunately, such radical change has a simple solution: unlearning.

In modern america sexism is slowly diteriating, but it has not complitly disappeared. Women have worked hard to become astronaut, Ceos, presidentsdoctors and more, but even with these accomplishments women are still discriminated against. Women face a variety of stereotypes in the work place that prevent them from progress, some company's really think that women don't need equal pay because they are not the head of the house hold and their husbands paycheck should do the job. Other business corporations believe that women can not committed to a job because they are the primary caregiver of their children which causes companies to lose money every time there is an emergency. "The paradox is that the world of rigid and hierarchical sex roles

Women’s rights and life chances will continue to strive in the United States. Women are now completing the same education as males. Women are now running for political offices, including president in 2012 and 2016. Majority of women are working outside of the home as well as completing household work. One interesting chart showed that men are now starting to do household work as well (How do Married Parent’s Use Their Time, 2012). Some men have even accepted the concept of stay at home dads.

Throughout the course of history, the roles of men and women have always been directed by gender. In American culture, the male stereotypic role has long been associated with authority, strength, aggression, competitiveness, and dominance. In contrast, female stereotypic roles have been associated with being loving, compassionate, nurturing, and sympathetic. Traditionally, men have worked outside the home and functioned as the sole breadwinner for the family. They held some of the most important jobs in society, such as military men, doctors, lawyers and politicians. Women, on the other hand, were long considered naturally weaker than men and incapable to perform work requiring muscular or intellectual ability. For this reason, throughout most of history, women generally had fewer legal rights and occupational opportunities than men. Motherhood and wifehood were considered a woman’s most important profession and they were expected to stay home and run the household sphere, while working to improve society by raising moral children. It wasn’t until the 20th century that women in America became more “equal” to men. Since then, they have progressed considerably in all aspects of public life – politics, occupation, education, etc. Despite women’s indisputable gains,

With the state of today’s economy and the disorganization of our government, many of our American values are being tested. Many people suffer from the effects of these hard times such as losing their jobs and not being able to support themselves or their families. Some also feel that they are not treated fairly, or believe that have no say in what affects their lives. One example of this is found in equality issues for women. Throughout our history women have struggled to maintain equality whether it is in the workplace or school. They have a harder time finding jobs than men and when they do, women do not receive the same benefits as their male counterparts. An article written by Jessica Valenti and

In today’s society, many people in the US believe that women and men are completely equal. This is a common thought because people think that if both sexes can vote, both are equal everywhere else. Of course, this is not true. Many of the issues referred to in this essay are hidden from the public eye. For example, sexual harassment is something that you know exists, but you never see it happen. Noticing the pay gap, and getting promoted is also something hidden unless you are a worker. Women may have gained their “equality” when they earned the right to vote, but today’s women still push for total equality. In the US, men and women are not treated equally because women are paid less than men, women are sexually harassed more than men, and

The equality of women is a concept in the United States that is continuing to be questioned. In the U.S, for the most part, women can, and do, do everything that a man can, such as hold public office vote and have careers. However, what if the equality of women was not solely based on the additional opportunities afforded to them, but also on the expansion of man's duties? Susan Okin, author of Justice, Gender and the Family, argues that underlying the disparities facing women, is the lack of a balanced responsibility between women and men in the home. In 2014, women employed full time made 83% of men’s average weekly earnings, about $719 to a man’s $871 (Meehan). When race is a factor, females who identified as Asian or White made on average

In our society we are unfairly judgemental and set ridiculous standards for both men and women. Now don’t get me wrong we have indeed grown in our expedition to expand the horizons of equality for men and

Women fought very hard for their rights in the workplace. Some of them, including Susan B Anthony, went above and beyond the norm. Yet, today our rights are still not the same as a man’s. At one point women weren’t allowed to work at all, and today they are allowed to have jobs while still being home makers. Although improvements have been made, there are still several dilemmas that need to be addressed. A women earns less than a man when doing the same work, and that is extremely unfair. Another issue in the workplace is that men underestimate women due to lack of strength and discrimination. There are also the issues of pregnancy and sexual

Despite the progressive actions our country has taken, we still face problems with gender inequality. We continue to prevent women from having control over their bodies, we prevent them from having proper access to medical/social services and continue to pay them a lesser wage in comparison to men.

The generation now has made it easier to equalize men and women but there is still a substantial amount of places where gender inequality is still happening in the workplace and where females still face discrimination. Women are often discriminated in the workplace and are usually not promoted as quickly as men are and they also receive less pay. History shows that women have not always been defined as property and thought of as second class citizens. But in the 21st century many have seen a drastic change in the so called “traditional” family ways where women are suppose to stay home and take care of the household chores, food, and children and men are suppose to work to support their family and provide financial stability. Many assume that in the workplace women are more vulnerable and less competent than men because women 's instincts are to put their family before work or anything else. Whereas men are the ones who will usually stay the late hours to work. People on both sides of the political spectrum and everywhere in between seem to be fearful of what is to come and more fearful of others than they are often willing to admit.
