Gender Equity Is Not More Equal Terms

“A gender-equal society would be one where the word 'gender' does not exist:where everyone can be themselves.”-Gloria Steinem. Men and women are equals. One issue facing our society is fair pay. The fair pay for women well it

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,

Gender Equality is a big issue throughout the world, but what exactly is it? Well to answer that, it is the view that everyone should receive equal treatment and not be discriminated against based on gender. Today, most women are getting treated differently compared to men. Whether it is based on pay gap, power, or strength the problem comes up. Men think they are stronger and better than women and this upsets women because it makes them feel like they don’t have a place in this world. This is where feminism comes into place. I chose this topic because I can relate to it more than the racial option, although now it could be about the same.

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.

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.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"(US Declaration of Independence). Equality is a fundamental principle that has helped form our law system to what it is today. Since the Declaration of Independence we have been able to expand who should be included when our law system addresses equality. Today law, regarding gender equality has progressed significantly. Examining American history, it is evident to notice oppression women's faced from the time prior to the Declaration of Sentiments in 1848 to the Civil Rights act of 1964 and even today in some instances; the strive for equality amongst genders is a conflict that has come a long way, but still needs to be addressed accordingly.

Equality is not just a word; however, it means too much when it comes to social life. Both men and women should work hard together in order to achieve high goals in work place and also at their homes. In fact, we both needs some motivation either from a friend or parents to do a change in our life. Woman should not feel that they are unnecessary or out of place, because both men and women are human beings and they have same abilities and potentials. If we can sometimes change the roles of the genders by giving the man work at home and let the woman run an organization, it would help maintaining a good

Gender inequality plays a critical role when it comes to social progress. As a woman,

However, if we can all have a more positive outlook on gender equality, we can accomplish more for both genders. It is acknowledged that there are still some gaps between fairness of men and women, but we can bring an end to gender inequality by focusing on the progress, throughout life women have gained more rights and been treated more fairly.The problem is that the public does not focus on the positive growth

Due to that I believe women should be shared equal opportunities to a certain extent due to the way that things could be set a wrong impression or point of view. For an example if women are completely equal to man then men can hit a female and not get the same the lawful enforcement that would be for a man, I agree that women should be better treated especially in the way that we are trying to improve our rights, minority respect, and BLM and etc. The approach I believe that needs to be taken towards this movement is to have more specific rights that they deserve and force those rights only unless they are completely aware and willing to

Many people argue that the world has equality, but in reality there isn’t really equality in our world. People may think there is, but they just haven’t realized that equality is an issue in society that goes against some of the rights a certain set of group has. Women in particular don’t have the same rights as men. They don’t get as much benefits as men do and it isn’t fair for them to not get those same rights. Women don’t get the same rights as men and that shouldn’t be tolerated, they deserve the same rights as men.

Throughout many decades women have been struggling to be equal to men, both at home and in the work place. Women have come a long way and are certainly fighting to gain that equality, but gender roles are very important in our society. They have become important in life from birth, and society continues to push these gender roles. The treatment of the male gender is very different from that of the female, and this issue has become very important to me, as a woman. As children we learn and adapt to specific gender roles, and as we grow they become more evident and more important to our role in a society. There is a lot of discrimination against the female gender. Carol Gilligan argued that

All the aforementioned issues are now being fought by feminists. Their goal is to create a world where men and women have equal opportunity, in every aspect of life. Feminists believe the world is in disrepair, and direly needs to be rebuilt; Jaspan agrees, and had this to say on the subject, “Where and how do we begin to repair our crumbling society…” and, “While the extent of such a task seems daunting, attempting to rebuild local communities is not a bad start” (44). Many women that participated in the marches across the globe, believe that we live in a broken, unfair world. It seems that their goal, as explained by Jaspan, is to fix this issue from the ground up.

Throughout the past few decades, the gender inequality discourse have became a dominant feature of international, national and local policy debate on the subject of economic development. This policy concern has emerged as an area of scholarly research which seeks to show that improving gender equity leads to economic growth.

Today we live in a world that continually stresses to us that, "All men are created equal." While this sounds great at face value, further inspection tells us that this is far from realistic and sadly may never be. One can examine any aspect of society whether it be race, religion, language, level of education, sexual orientation or economic status and notice that there are numerous characteristics and factors of identity that enable others to treat others differently. This truth may not be pleasant or make one feel all warm and fuzzy inside, however it is our society’s reality, however dismal it may be. Even if the statement above as to the equality of all men were true, how about women? Clearly women have made tremendous strides towards
