Job Classification: You work at a company for four years and put in many hours of overtime. After you return from having a baby, you tell your employer that you will not be able to put in as many hours of overtime.

Discrimination is the practice of unfairly treating a person or group of people differently from other people or groups of people. This practice towards women is considered inequality towards feminists. An example of discrimination is when a man or woman says to the opposite sex that they are not worthy of doing a particular job. For example, when business ownership mentioned, it is assumed that a male holds that position because that is the way that society has our minds programmed. Just take a look at the White House, a corporation is it own right, and equally a woman has never taken the office presidency because society feels that a man can and will do a better job. The fact of the matter is that women are just as creative, knowledgeable, determined and business savvy as men. for men it would be running a business because women tend to run businesses better because they look at every detail until it is perfect and for men

In an article from “Women in the Workforce”, a segment struck a chord with me, “Women can not achieve gender equality in the workforce because the ideal worker works full time for 40 years. While women are expected to get pregnant and take care of family, which means they have to take time off.” If these responsibilities were not forced upon women then, we could achieve more equality.
