Gender Inequality In Today

People often believe that “Feminism” is just a thing of the past and it is not needed anymore because patriarchal system is no longer subsisting. Women were now given the rights, opportunities, breaks, shots and chances but they still tussle many struggles. As it is maliciously misconstrued as a way to dominate men, it just shows how little people understand the term. It is important to clarify that it is no synonym to female preeminence or domination, instead, it peacefully advocates women’s rights. It is not merely a gender issue but it is a humankind issue. So as people thought that women in countries had fully achieved their goals, they are all considerately wrong.

Likewise, the higher in terms of faculty rank, prestige, salary, and status, the fewer are the women. This gap in educational attainment becomes particularly maddening when you consider numerous researches that have been made which exhibit that educating girls is a key factor in terminating poverty and aiming for

For the same case, screenwriter John Whedon recount when asked why he writes such resilient female images and characters, “Because you are still asking me the same question.” So in wide conclusion, Feminism is not (and will never be) about female superiority or taking away the rights of men. It is all about EQUALITY. It is not just about voting rights or getting jobs. It is about the way women are cared and treated in everyday life. When GENDER itself is no longer an affliction to someone 's ability to do, then feminism will no longer be needed. And in an idyllic world, women will be treated as humans and definitely not sex objects, and they would not have to fight for their rights like what feminists do now.
