Women Vs Men Vs Women

Throughout history, men and women have been viewed in utterly different spheres. Men have been, and still are, believed to be the hard working individual who is in charge of “bringing home the bacon” and supporting the household finically. On the other hand, women are expected to have little to say, the house spotless, supper on the table, the children bathed, fed, in bed, and educated, all while maintaining a flawless hairdo and makeup. These stereotypes seem a bit offensive nowadays, but if you really consider it, it has been and most likely will be this way for our entire existence.

The gender pay gap is the difference between male and female earnings averaged in percentages. This difference in pay due to gender seems like it would be an obsolete practice in the twenty-first century, but it is real and is affecting millions of women and households in the country. In 2014, women working full time in the United States were paid 79 percent on average of what men were being paid, which is a gap of approximately 21 percent. This means that in the United States, females earned 94 cents on average to every dollar earned by males. According to one study by the Department of Labor’s Chief Economist, a typical 25-year-old woman working full time would earn $5,000 less over the course of her working career than a typical 25-year old man working in the same career. The reason why this pay gap exists does expand into other factors such as education, experience, the work being performed, qualifications, age, and ethnicity which are taken into account. The studies being conducted on the pay gap has economists verifying that discrimination is the best overall explanation and factor of the difference in pay between males and females.

Avoiding the Norm In our society men and women have not always been equal, and even today we still strive for equality. Traditional stereotypes for both genders have been around for decades. Traditionally men were the breadwinners, financially taking care of their families.

Overview: Men make more money the women doing the same job, even though, women hold 70% of jobs (Flander, p. 20-22). For every dollar a white man makes women make 77 cents, black women make 64 cents, and Latinas make 56 cents, that’s just for independant women, women with families make even less than that.

Women in the US typically get paid only 80 percent of what men get paid. According to Kevin Miller’s article, “The Simple Truth about the Gender Pay Gap,”, “ in 2016, women working

Men get paid more than females do. Men get promotions more than females do. In the work place women get sexual harassed by their employee. Women who had less education also received less pay. Females have a harder time on trying a CEO position and are challenged when they do earn the position by the male workers. If a male who has graduated college work he will make over 91,000 dollars but if a women who has graduated college works in the same position she would make around 60,000 dollars. So, we don't get paid the same amount even if we do work just as hard as the men

Throughout life every man and woman fits into a specific gender role. We are told what is expected of men and women from birth until death. Many people influence our view of how we should act and what we should say such as our parents, friends, and even the media. Males and females play very different roles and these differences are apparent in our every day lives. These differences are not the same as they used to be. Society has changed the way it treats men and women over time.

According to whitehouse.gov, full time working women earn a lower income than men. Women

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.

Studies done by the Bureau of Labor Statistics suggest that women make about seventy eight cents to the man’s dollar. They note that this ratio does not take into account the different professions

Since before time, men have been seen as dominant and in charge whereas women were behind the scenes and had no power. This was the beginning of women being treated worse than men. Since then, women have been starting to become more and more dominant but not totally. They still do not obtain the same treatment as men. Some people still have an old mentality and believe that women should only be cooking, cleaning and taking care of their children, instead of having good jobs. However, the reality is that most women get farther in schooling than men and have now been starting to get better jobs. So, why is it that that this difference exists? It shouldn't because everyone is equal. Anne-Marie Slaughter and Sheryl Sandberg both express what it’s

In 2013, full-time female employee 's made only seventy-eight cents of every dollar earned by men, which means a wage gap of twenty-two percent. Women are nearly half of the labor pool and are equal if not main, jobholder 's in four out of ten households. Not to mention, women receive more college and graduate degrees than men. Women still coninue to bring in less than men. On average, women earn less than men in basically every profession that there is adequate income data for both women and men to estimate an earnings percentage (IWPR, 2014).

For hundreds of years, women have never been given equality, from being able to vote, to how they are able to dress. Guys are always seen to be the stronger gender or more important gender so the girls are always the ones to get in trouble if they are to do something not expected or inappropriate in the male's eyes. Men are the ones who get women in trouble. Men are the ones who can't keep their hands and eyes to themselves in most cases. Men are the reason women are seen as unimportant. Women used to not be able to do certain jobs or have certain careers because it was described as being a male only position. For example, anything in the military was completely one hundred percent off limits for a women to do unless, it was the position of a nurse which still was a very hard job to get in the beginning and women were treated like crap when doing

 A woman can have the equivalent education and comparable job but will still make less than a man.  The average woman makes twenty percent less than a man’s salary.   The U.S. Census Bureau has stated the the

Whenever you ask a man who is supposed to be the head of the house, 9 times out of 10 he will say that men are supposed to be. Some Men believe that they are the ones who are supposed to run everything and the women are just supposed to follow them. However, throughout this whole interpretation the women are supposed to act like dogs and supposed to just follow them around and listen to whatever they say. Most men think this way and it is very true in their heads and they feel the need to generalize all women and put women into the place where they belong. They do not see any distinguishing factors to make women any different. They think they all look the same and act the same way. In the play, “A Doll’s House”, by Henrik Ibsen it tells of a family and roles each gender is supposed to have between the man and woman. You can see the husband is constantly belittling her and showing her that she does not belong where she is. Helmer, the husband, feels the need to put Nora, the wife, where she belongs. He feels that he has a certain masculinity to him that he must keep up and flaut. To show that he is the one making money and he needs to be the head of the household. Not all households are the same, some men feel the need to be the head of a household and become the “breadwinner” because that is what society portrays and that is the role most men display trying to prove their masculinity and enforcing gender roles.
