Analysis Of Chapter 2 Equal Treatment For Men And Women

Are women really inferior to men? Of course not, but this is the mindset that has been a part of the world since the beginning. For a long time, even women did not believe that they measured up to men. In her book Northanger Abbey, Jane Austen wrote, "A women, especially, if she have the misfortune of knowing anything, should conceal it as well as she can (Gurko 1974, 5)." Beginning in the early 1900's, though, women began to want changes in society. They wanted to have a say in the decisions that were made, especially in the area of politics. They did not believe that men should be the only people allowed to vote, when they, too, were active members of society. Women's suffrage changed the face of

Feminism is not about female superiority as many assert, and today, most men claim that women want to be superior to men especially after the fight changed to fighting against discrimination and equal chances in employment for women.

still lag behind men, we need an Equal Rights Amendment more than ever (Hennessey 3). The real issue, claim some supporters, is the "right to bodily integrity, and without this basic right, women can have no true freedom" (NOW 2). Legal sex discrimination is not a thing of the past, and the progress of the last forty years is not irreversible without the protection of an amendment (Francis 1).Feminist claim that "The ERA's most valuable effect would be the psychological victory it would provide women" (Steiner 35). Women are underpaid in the workforce, required to pay higher insurance premiums and are half as likely as men to get pensions (NOW 4). Supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment remind us of a traditional assumption, ‘Men hold rights and women must prove that they hold them" (Francis 2). Supporter claim amazement that, "Even in the twenty first century, the United States Constitution does not explicitly guarantee that all the rights it protects are held equally by all citizens" (Francis 4). Supporters of the Equal Rights Amendment believe that "unless we put into the Constitution the bedrock principle that equality of rights cannot be denied or abridged on account of sex, the political and judicial victories women have achieved with their blood, sweat and tears for the past two

I believe that most Americans today feel women have the same rights as men. They believe that women now have equal rights, but do they really? In many cases women do have equal rights. They

Although women have gained many more rights, they still are not equal to men. Women had to fight to get a fraction of the rights men were granted. In 2017, women still do not have control over their own lives and bodies.

Women began to climb the ladder and finally became equal to men, well almost. Women’s rights include, but is not limited to positions that any man can hold, promotions that were not allowed beforehand last but not least socially and legal equality. As women, we can’t continue to yell inequality when we are not on the same playing field as men. We, women, have more leverage than the men. Aspiring to be like men would require us to also go the same extra mile that the male has to also. Women’s right is not for us to be equal while also being held on a pedestal at the same time. Equality goes both ways, it is for us, as well as men.

Women deserve to be treated fairly and respected like anyone else. Women are currently whispering into the ear of the world to educate and erase those past misconceptions.

For as long as most can remember, women have never been viewed as equal to men. Women have fought for many rights including the right to vote, run for office, and for everyday things such as equal pay, the right to job listings, getting an education, and even having a credit card in their own name.

In the united states in american society.Men and women are treated unequal at times i think still thre is a little bit of unfairness. in the way they are being treated.such as them having a jail sentence.

The target of this analysis is to explore the troubling condition of pay inequities between men and women in the Unites States, using the liberal ideology, constructionist approach and basic framework of the social problem process by Joel Best. Accordingly, this paper organizes this exploration into the six sections correlating with each stage of the Best framework. The first section is Stage 1: Claimsmakers which introduces the source(s) making claims about the troubling condition of economic inequality specifically as it relates to the gap in pay between genders. In addition, this area specifies the ideological perspective of this analysis and provides the grounds, warrants and conclusions used to evaluate the claims. Furthermore, this

This is the year of 2016, it has been approximately 93 years scene the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment was first introduced to Congress. Still after 93 years, the amendment was never officially passed. Now in 2016, women are dominating almost every job a man has done: a lawyer, a voter, a businesswoman, a politician, maybe even a president, but still are being seen as women from the 1920s. Why? In 2012, full time working women made 77 cents for every dollar a man made, this is a 23 percent gap between the genders (Rosen). Women work equally as men in their everyday lives, but are not treated nor rewarded equally. According to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, "Certainly the Constitution does not require discrimination on the basis of sex. The only issue is whether it prohibits it. It doesn't." (Arquette). The constitution does not prohibit discrimination as the law was never ratified. Sure, employers do not allow it, but they do

Women have always been seen as though they are below men. This has been traced all the way back to the days where women had no rights and had no voice or opinion, and some men still seem to think that way even after so many decades of women’s rights. For example, the presidential candidate Donald Trump called a Miss Universe “Miss Piggy and Miss Housekeeping” meaning we, women, are meant

Women have always taken a back seat to men in American society. There has always seemed to be one set of standards that apply to men, and another set of standards that apply to women. This is evident in the home, workplace, and all throughout society.

As a society, I am very sad to say, we still have a long way to go for women and men to be treated equally. Although there has been some great progress made so far women are still not treated as equals. Women are just as much part of the work force and are “bread-winners” just like the men. There are women all over the world with very successful careers and some are even powerful boss ladies. So for society to still look at women like they are not equal to men is disgusting.

Equality between Women and Men, or Gender Equality, means equality of rights and freedoms. For equal opportunities for participation, recognition and appreciation of women and men, In all areas of society, political, economic, labor, personal and family.
