Ladies and gentleman, today I’m going to talk about gender inequality. You must listen to me carefully, we are one of the members of our home - Earth. We need to make our home better! You all know there only exist two sexes. In Chinese, if you want to write both boys and girls together, you need to use word they with Chinese character of “he”. Don’t you think this is a kind of gender inequality, do you? Gender inequality refers to unequal treatment or perceptions of individuals based on their gender. Is it religion that has caused us to treat men and women differently or does it come from the days when physical strength was much more important for daily life than it is now? First of all, female need to undertake many duties, not only the work, but also cooking, taking care with children and so on. I believe many of your guys sitting here are females. Don’t you feel you are treated unequal by others? Many people think that those things are women’s duty, but not men’s. Even some people said that men have the work stress and they just need to make money for their family. But, female also need to work, and they have the same stress as men have. For example, in my family, my mom is in charge of taking care of me, cooking…… Let me talk about a real example happened on myself. My father is working for the family. Once, when he came back home, my mom asked him to cook, however he thought that is my mom’s duty. It was wrong with my father that always ask my mother to do those
For many centuries, women and men were not treated equally. After the Civil War, women had many essential successes that helped them earn respect. Women have tried very hard to get to the point where they can be treated with the same respect as men. As of today, women are still not equal to men. Women face violence, discrimination, and barriers in society.
Currently, gender inequality, although less than before, still exists, for example in wage gaps. “The gender gap in paid work is narrowing, but women still do most of the domestic work and child care… all of which is low-waged labor” (Lorber, 2001, 6). Many expectations for male and female roles, especially in religious customs, continue to exist and “legitimate the social arrangements that produce inequality, justifying them as proper” (Lorber, 2021, 6). Women are somewhat encouraged to work more “feminine” jobs which is causing many women to continue working in more low-paying, domestic jobs. However, there are still many, and a growing increase in successful women working high-paying jobs, inspiring more women to do the
Women also face unequal opportunity and treatment. In most world history, the man has been the leader and the woman, the follower. Men are more greatly respected and thought highly of. During the 18th century at the time of The Declaration of Independence the inferior attitude toward women was prevalent. Historian Mary Beth Norton wrote about treatment of women in this time period in the book, Liberty’s Daughters.
The Joad family, as described in “The Grapes of Wrath,” is what some might refer to as a typical family of the 1930’s. There is a working father who is the head of the house and its decisions; a stay at home mom who cooks and cleans; and six children of various ages and character who have their own responsibilities around the house and get up to all sorts of mischief. Like most other families in this time period, the Joads also live with some of their extended family like Pa’s parents and Pa’s brother, Uncle John. In comparison, my family is comprised of my two working parents, me, my 14 year old sister, and my seven year old brother.
Is it possible to wait for someone you love for long time? The answer is yes. In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Elizabeth was adopted to Victor’s family, and was described as a beautiful women. Elizabeth represents the passive women, who has no rights, weak, and empowered by Victor. Victor decides to leave Elizabeth and follows his passion.
This is due to the traditional gender role that has been applied in a society for centuries, and it is fairly recent that the modern view of equality was adopted. Nonetheless, the efforts
In almost every society, women and men should each have different and their own job according to their gender. Men should be the one doing the hard works and women will have to support him. This is not always true, men can be supporting women in a way that people don't see it like
Obviously, ladies ought to get equivalent pay and young boys shouldn't be advised not to cry since they must be 'a man'. In any case, tragically, a considerable measure of these customs will bear on for quite a while. However, the gender roles are more impacted in different countries as oppose to the one we live in. Honduras is my nation of
Cleaning, cooking, taking care of the children and doing other chores is how their everyday lives go. Today, we consider women equal to men. Equality is seen in most countries. The law provides equality in all human beings. Unlike in the Elizabethan era, women today can do anything they want, from ruling the nation to having jobs that they desire.
Discrimination and Stereotyping No one is safe from discrimination and stereotyping and we are all witnesses to that. Women are supposed to have “clean jobs” like secretaries, librarians, or teachers. In contrast to that, men must have “dirty jobs” such as construction workers or mechanics. Another stereotype is that women are supposed to be submissive and men are the ones who must always be in charge.
The fact also arises that women not only suffer from lack of recognition for the work they do in households but also for their work in their jobs. Women work as much as men, if not more. When both paid and unpaid work such as household chores and caring for children are taken into consideration, women work longer hours than men—an average of 30 minutes a day longer in developed countries and 50 minutes in developing countries. This is known as second shift, where women not only work at their jobs but also come back home and complete their household chores. However their contribution remains minimum due to unequal wage pay and lack of consideration given to household chores.
Aubrey Rose A, Barangot English 27B Title Gender Equality: An Established Human Right Thesis Gender Equality and Stereotypes Inroduction The gender equality has been accepted and acknowledged as human rights’ principles since the adoption of charter of United Nations in 1945. Most of the international agreements such as ‘the Millennium Development Goals (2000)’ and ‘the World Conference on Human Rights (1993) have highlighted and stressed the grave need for nations to take appropriate actions against such discriminatory practices.

well...Studies show that, Today Women Working FULL TIME Only Make 79%Of What Men Make PART TIME! That is ridiculous! And im male “Real Equality Is Equality Of Opportunity, Not equality of Outcomes” So if you think about it, We really should do something about this.

Gender Equality is the only way forward. What is gender equality? Gender equality is achieved when all genders enjoy the same rights and opportunities across all sectors of society, including economic participation and decision-making, and when the different behaviors, aspirations and needs of women and men are equally valued and favored.
Wage Wars Protecting our basic civil rights in the United States is a recognizable value that all citizens want to obey or carry out. Civil rights are rooted on the idea of any citizen not receiving equal or fair treatment compared to the people around them. Although this is true, a major issue in today’s society that I have discovered revolves around the difference in gender equality and the gender wage gap in the workforce. Some people believe that females are not as capable as males causing a flux in the wages paid for the same job, however this is a stereotype that needs to be exterminated.
