As we discussed in class there is an obvious gender
inequality around us. Women are looked at as delicate and men are looked at as
tough, and why is this? Is it because women tend to become housewives and men
are out in the world working? This is something that was very common but now
the times are different, there are many women that work and still come home to
tend to their families as well and that is something that is expected of them.
On the other hand when is man is seen taking care of his child and doing
housework he is highly praised for doing so. What is the difference between
women and men doing housework? To me is it the same thing but society does not
view it that way. It can happen that a job is not given to a woman because the
company may be scared of losing money on her, only to train her and let her go
because she is with child or they know that she will have frequent time off
because of her kids.
Women get paid less than men even if they have the exact
same job, but men will always be expected to protect the family in case of any
danger. Women will have to bear through labor pains, raise kids and have a
happy home, but men will always be expected to have a job to be able to provide
a home and food for their family. Do you think that this is an equal trade?
Will it ever be that men and women are treated the same and given the same
opportunities?
I think that one day men and women will be equal. I believe that women can do anything men can do and vice versa. Women are making strides towards equality everyday if you look at things like sports there are women who play certain sports better than men and even in the business world there are women who make more money and better business decisions than men.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I think men are raised to be the backbone of our families and the strong ones. They are taught that they're not supposed to show strong emotions, doing laundry Is feminine, bringing in an low income than the wife is considered being weak to a man.If you really think about it, would you want to be with someone that is isn't protective and not bringing in more of the income? Don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with a woman doing things a man can but at the end of the day you want the man to take control too. Yes, I think that women should get the credit of all of the things that we do and get paid the same as men do. We break our backs on the daily doing the same job, coming home to cook, clean take care of our husbands and families and still may not get the same respect as we deserve. First thing we should do towards making a change is to start at home. Communicating with our families and husbands and wives in order for a change to be done. For as the wrong perception about men/women you are what you answer to so if you don't believe that a certain label reflects you then make a difference to speaking on your jobs, and other places where you feel that it should be changed.
