Women And Gender Equality

Up until the early 1900’s, women were seen by society as people with household roles that consisted of cooking, cleaning, and tending their children. As time progressed, the view of women in society gradually changed, but their opinions still did not seem to matter. It wasn’t until 1920, that women gained suffrage with the 19th amendment. This amendment was a huge step in gaining full and equal rights for women, but unfortunately discrimination against them still happens today. There are various different situations in which the issue of gender inequality occurs. Although the law states that everyone has equal opportunities and rights, women are highly discriminated against in everyday roles such as employment, extracurricular activities, military, and in the government.

There are hundreds and thousands of athletes all around the world but the main problem in the athlete world is gender inequality, women are not shown equal as men. They are discriminated in many ways such as pay, employment opportunities, value of women 's sport, media coverage etc. Despite the federal law passed called Title IX that “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination." there is still gender inequality women are considered less than men. No matter what happens people will always have inequality against men and women because of the environment they live in and how they were raised. Women are

Many people are often misinformed or given bad first impressions of feminism. However, feminism is equal rights for all people of different race, sex, gender, and sexuality. Many of the people that give feminism a bad name, include a self-proclaimed feminist that is running for presidency, and meninists who are satirical equal rights activists. In reality, feminism is pro-gender equality and opportunities for all types of people.

I often think females as a whole are oppressed by society and are given few rights or seem weak compared to males. This chapter explains the example how women had to fight in order to gain the right to vote in the United States. In today’s society women are sometimes not granted a particular job

Today and throughout history, women have had to face a vast amount of discrimination towards themselves in politics, the workplace, and in the effort to receive a better education. Within the past decades, women have been discriminated against in many different aspects and have struggled throughout their day-to-day lives. However, many people have also taken significant action in standing up for the female population and working to improve their lives. Many individuals dedicated their lives to helping women to be treated as equal rather than inferior to men. Those who have fought for women’s rights have greatly impacted and improved the lives of women.

Although Feminism was already a topic I knew a lot about, I wanted to learn more about in order to be able to effectively explain it to people. I hoped to learn what feminism truly is, how it fit into gender equality, some good examples of feminism, and what feminism is still working for. I was hoping to learn all this in order to be able to show and tell people what feminism is, and to help get rid of any misunderstandings towards feminism. I also wanted to make sure I had my facts right about what I am often arguing for. What I basically learned is that unlike popular belief, feminism is actually the belief in the equality of all sexes. This includes equal opportunities in politics, economics, personal, and social life, as well as equal rights to education and employment. Through much research, I also learned everything else I wanted to know about feminism.

Mankind throughout the history has been cruel to women for far too long, women, for example have been deprived off of participation in various activities in a mostly patriarchal societies where in male members of the society have the final say pertaining to the issues affecting the society there by women can only sit down and look. The book described the modern feminism as a product of the enlightenment, and 18th century feminists argued that women were secluded from the public realm, whereas they were well equipped to compete on equal terms with men. These idea in most of the time has been interpreted as the idea behind the subjugation of women by men is just a so called idea of womanhood that women are only supposed to be housekeepers, taking care of the domestic routines that includes, the flowing: cooking, laundry, feeding the kids, make sure their assignments are done, women also has to fold laundry and iron them all by herself as inferior beings to man. To some feminist, these ideas were merely to dominate women and make them feel worthless when it comes to education, politics, things that affects their own surroundings and things that matter the most. These system of biasness against women, have been in practice for so long and still continue to be a norm even in some democracies where certain individuals feel the need that they can control or decide what their female spouses should do. Its worst in mostly undemocratic and overly religious countries

As a woman in today’s society I often hear about how repressed the female gender is and their plights and struggles. While one can see this fact accurate, who is responsible for that or what about the male population that also falls in the same classification? Would one, when applying Deontology theory, see that by elevating women’s rights we are effectively shouting that the plight of women is more important than men’s rights. Why does the struggle of one gender mean the other gender should suffer or just remain silent? In order to gain equality for both sexes the rights of both men and women and benefits for men and women need to be the same, irrespective if individuals in each gender wants to align with or go against. It benefits all when men and women work together for gender equality because everyone merits to be treated as an equal, and the Feminist Theory only aids women not men, contrary to popular belief.

Throughout history, the role of women, what rights women should have, and the how women how women should equate to men has always been a popular topic and several majors events have occurred in regards to women 's equality, role, and rights. Over the course of civilization, the rights and views of women have drastically improved, but there are still a few areas in which women are not treated as equals to their male counterparts. One popular social issue that is currently in debate is wage equality between men and women. Several early philosophers have voiced their opinions on the inferiority of women, but both some early and modern philosophers actions and arguments illustrate men and women as equals. The role and equality of women was a topic that a few philosophers have spoken about and their ideas can be used to help argue for wage equality in the workplace. The theme that men and women are equal that is present in several philosophers works and theses ideas can be used to create an argument that illustrates women’s right to equal pay.

Today Women in America can scarcely imagine not having the right to vote or choose a career or attend a university. Young women in college take these opportunities and rights for granted, but it hasn’t been that long ago in human history that women found themselves in a very patriarchal, male dominated world. The rise of feminism in the United States has gradually brought about women’s equality in just the past century and for that we women are very grateful. But are there exceptions to full equality and should there be complete equality in all situations?

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.

It has been a long and hard journey in Canada to attain gender equality between men and women. Women’s rights have changed dramatically over the past century from women not being persons, to having almost full equality between men and women. Saskatchewan feminism has followed a very similar path as Canada. The Women’s Suffrage Movement has given women the right to vote, and the Persons Case has given women the right to be appointed to Senate. The Famous Five were the women who lead the Persons Case, as well as many other victories. The Canadian Labour Movement has helped attain equality in workplaces, and the gender pay gap is the inequality difference that men and women make for the same work. Gender stereotypes are overlooked

In the September of 2000, the United Nations came together to create a list of target goals to better lives across the globe; these goals were created to promote development in areas where poverty, disease and inequality was the most devastating in order for all countries to come together to form a global partnership. Eight ultimate goals were created with targets to reach by the year 2015. All goals are important and necessary to create sustainable living for all, but one goal is most important to be addressed because without it, the other goals’ development suffers. promoting gender equality and empowering women is an urgent matter, especially in a region such as North Africa and Southwest Asia.
