Why Do Women Deserve To Receive Equal Pay

This example that White provides does not match up to many schools out there. White providing examples like these where he mentions it only shine a positive light towards females certainly do not prove that altogether boys are being left behind. At Sir John A. Macdonald, the publicity around the school of females or males depends on what kind of activities are taking place every week. One week the girls hockey team might be the talk of the school simply because they happen to defeat another school compared to the boys volleyball team that might have lost to another school or vice versa. White openly admits that the schools are failing our boys, but since when did schools take on the ful responsibility of the school to educate these boys to fully teach them how to be proper boys ?

Equality for Women Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s “Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions” set a strong foundation that began the movement towards equality for women. Since her declaration was first presented at the Seneca Falls Convention, there has been considerable improvement in women’s rights. Although most issues she originally brought up have been resolved, there are a few that still need improvement, including the wage gap between men and women, representation in the workforce, and self-image of women. One big issue that remains prominent today in the United States is the gender wage gap, where men are making quite a bit more money that women.

For many years women have been seen as being “lesser” than men, and even in this great country, women didn 't have the right to vote until the passing of the 19th amendment in 1919. That amendment was passed almost 100 years ago, and surely we have changed for the better... Right? Many people would say that we have, however, it is clear that a woman working the same job as a man is making a significant amount less than the man would. This is a big problem in our country for a number of reasons.

This article says “formal education for girls historically has been secondary to that of boys.” Throughout history the normal roles of society were the boys did all the heavy duty jobs while the girls stayed at home and helped out around the house. From 1870 to 1985 the amount of women attending college by 30%. Also the amount of undergraduate degrees has risen 40% since the beginning of the 20th century.

The day following the inauguration hundreds of thousands of men and women descended upon the capital marching in the Women’s March. One of their chief concerns was the gender wage gap. According to the US Census Bureau on average women make 79 cents to the man 's dollar. Women have long fought for equal pay, and the wage gap has shrunk with the institution of the Equal Pay Act of 1963. Still as the election has turned the tide in a more conservative direction, many women fear that the wage gap will be overlooked and no further progress will be made.

More females than ever before are entering the workforce and this increased women's opinions regarding equality in the workforce. The basic goals of American women were equal pay for equal work, an end to domestic violence and sexual harassment, and sharing responsibilities for housework and child rearing. This sparked the feminism movement. Women wanted equal pay, but their pay was 60% of the male rate.(Kenneth T. Walsh, March 12 2010) The equal pay act was finally acknowledged and gave equal pay for men and women who worked the same jobs.

In the 1920 's, women didn’t have the right to vote, which later led to the 19th amendment that gave the women the right to vote. Females all over the world have been affected by this because they still are not treated equally even though the 19th Amendment gave them hope that will soon come into place. Women weren’t able to do many things as men such as working conditions, help out with war and vote. Therefore, women should have equal rights and not be treated differently. When it comes to higher wages women are often paid less even though they do the same work as men.

Pay equality has been a topic of discussion since women became a larger part of the workforce back in the 1940s. Politicians made efforts to help close that gap, with legislation being passed in 1963. Still, the gap remind wide. In 2007, Lilly Ledbetter sued Goodyear Tire & Rubber on the grounds that she had been discriminated against, leading to her being paid less because she was a women. This paper will discuss the issues that Ledbetter brought all the way to the US Supreme Court.

In the United States, women have been fighting for their equality since the beginning. First, it was the women’s suffrage movement that was catching everyone’s eye. Recently, the fight against the gender wage gap has come to many people’s attention and is finally making an

These women have done so much for women by inspiring them to that their efforts to get women’s rights have for the most part succeeded. Today, all women in America have equals rights. But there still remains a couple problems. One issue that has popped up over the last few years was equal pay.

On July, 1, 1776 236 years ago, the second continental congress met in Philadelphia, and on the following day 12 of 13 colonies voted in favor of Richard Henry Lee’s motion for independence. “Congress picked a committee to write a declaration explaining why the colonies wanted independence,” and that is how all men are created equal is about to be brought up. Issues in the past with all people being treated equally, has been a big thing with women’s rights, in the past decades women in terms of employment has been gradually getting better, in 2014 women have almost all the same rights as men. Even though most women could work Ruth Pearson pointed out, “As individuals workers experienced both the liberating and the “empowering”

“Where The Boys Aren’t- The Gap On College Campuses” When reading this article by Melana Zyla Vickers the reader’s first impression is to assume that just by the title “Where The Boys Aren’t- The Gap On College Campuses” that the article is about pro-feminism. This is not the case, Vickers makes the point that males are not getting the same education as females, she calls attention to why males are not being taught to Value College. Vickers shows, "At colleges across the country 58 women will enroll as freshmen for every 42 men. As the class of 2010 proceeds toward graduation the male numbers dwindle”.

The wage gap and social injustices still occurring to modern day women remind us that we have to look back at the strong women that helped get us where we are now and inspire us to strive for equality in all fields of life because gender should not matter, we are all human

With the current elections bringing about many debates on hot topic issues it is no surprise that women’s suffrage has become a battle cry for many presidential candidates. These candidates play to the hopes of many women by promising equal rights for equally qualified male and female workers. These persuasive and motivating arguments for women’s rights calls to question what is the extent of this issue? The reality is that there is a significant wage gap between male and female workers. This wage gap causes men to be paid more than women, even when they do the same jobs and are equally qualified for those jobs.

Women should request a twenty percent pay increase to even up the gender pay gap. In most jobs women earn eighty cents for every dollar a man earns for the exact same job. Employers should pay good, qualified women, who can competently perform their job duties, the same wages they pay men for the same work. Earning twenty percent less is a significant amount and it adds up over time. Throughout the years the pay gap has narrowed but it’s still not equal pay for equal work. More importantly, employers depriving women of the right for equal pay, solely, because the employee is a woman is discriminatory based on the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
