Gender inequality has always been a constant debate since the mid 70’s. Women have been fighting for their rights to be as equal as men. For example, voting was once an issue. The specific gender roles women have to be submitted too they were expected to take care of the house and children for years and many people still to this day have a hard time accepting that woman can do the same thing as men.
There is a lot of issues on this topic going on around is, which we tend to miss because we are so use to it. We should end gender inequality once and for all. We should end gender inequality because this would end the gender gap pay for women second because women aren’t being educated as much as men, and thirdly because the inequality going on politics for women.
Women have been stereotyped for years they are viewed by some as weaker than men or not as bright. These type of stereo types are all around us constantly. Maybe we do not tend to notice but they are there for example when Forbes contributor Kyle smith was interviewed he said that it’s a myth that women are suffering on the job. He stated that” Sex bias is an “urban legend. “He claims America has simply fallen prey to a “narrative about sexism” that isn’t based in reality but there is evidence to support the fact he is wrong on his thinking.
Mr. smith commented to the millions of women who have experienced pay inequity, workplace sexual harassment and other forms of gender discrimination at work his comments were downright offensive. He argues that women intentionally choose career paths that they know pay poorly. Smith cites a recent Gallup poll showing similar levels of job satisfaction between men and women in most categories as evidence of the absence of discrimination.
Men like Mr. Smith often think that women are lying when it comes to claiming they get paid less than men. This type of thinking makes it hard for women to progress in the 21st century. We should ban gender inequality because women already get discriminated on the workforce.
Women often get paid less than men just because they are women. Which is totally unfair if a woman does just as such work as a guy in order to gain an equal pay. Women go more time to school in some cases and still win less than a man. Here is an example of how women get paid less than men. According to the World Economic Forum, women around the globe earn on average $12,000 a year, compared to $21,000 for men.
Reports that women in every country face a wage gap of some kind. We cannot know for sure how big the gender pay gap is which may vary by year or by location. A U.S. census data from 2015 shows that women working all year and full-time were, on average, paid 80 cents for every dollar a man received.
According to an analysis by the American Association of University Women the gender wage gap is smaller now than it was 50 years ago. The numbers show we’re not seeing a lot of progress. The wage gap has remained the same since the mid-1990s, and there’s no reason to believe it will go away on its own.
A slowdown in progress caused the World Economic Forum to rethink their estimate for closing the global gender gap late last year. The World Economic Forum now estimates it will take 217 years, up from 170, to end gender- based disparities in pay and employment opportunities if the world continues at its current rate of progress.
No matter how you look at it, a new coming generation born will not have a chance at seeing an end to the global wage gap. Women are the main ones encouraging the message that a higher education pays. Then according to the national center for education statistics women make up more than 56% of college students nationwide.
This is where the downside comes. Does not matter women’s educational successes because men still earn higher wages across the globe. Since the Equal Pay Act was signed in 1963 when women earned an average of 59 cents for every dollar paid to a man the gender pay gap has narrowed by less than half a cent per year, to about 80 cents on the dollar today.
The second reason we should ban gender inequality is because women are not being educated as much as men. Being born a girl remains a primary cause for discrimination in the 21stcentury. Education is a basic human right, but it still remains a constant inequality.
Education cripples the lives of millions of women worldwide. UNESCO works tirelessly to ensure universal access to a quality education for all women and girls. They promote that with a quality education, women can break the horrible cycle.
If women are more educated they can make better choices, improving the lives of their families, and promoting the health and welfare of the upcoming generations. Empowering women means empowering societies as a whole.
Less than 40% of countries provide girls and boys with equal access to education. Only 39% of countries have equal proportions of boys and girls enrolled in secondary education the numbers are relatively low. Another example the completion rates and learning levels of girls are lower than those of boys.
About two thirds of the world’s illiterate adults are women, this statistic has remained unchanged for the past 20 years according to a global report assessing progress towards gender equality. A study showed that of the 781 million adults over the age of 15 estimated to be illiterate, 496 million were women. Women made up more than half the illiterate population in all regions of the world.
Lastly gender inequality should be banned because women are being discriminated in politics. As of January 2017, only 18.3 per cent of government ministers were women. The most commonly held portfolio by women ministers is environment, natural resources, and energy, followed by social sectors, such as social affairs and education. Women make up a bigger share of national and state lawmakers than ever. Women in major political positions remains extremely low.
Women make up around 19 percent of all members of Congress and less than 25 percent of all state legislators. They also make up six of the nation’s 50 governors, or 12 percent, in a 2012 reports. Marymount University political science professor Richard Fox studied ‘potential candidates’ of both genders he studied people like lawyers and activists who might reasonably get involved in politics in order to be able to determine what was keeping women from running.
They came up with seven main barriers to women running for office. Here are some of the authors’ conclusions: one Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin’s candidacies aggravated women’s perceptions of gender bias in the electoral arena. This is refereeing to how these women were treated during the elections. Second women are much less likely than men to think they are qualified to run for office.
Thirdly female potential candidates are less competitive, less confident, and more risk averse than males. Fourthly women react more negatively than men to many aspects of modern campaigns. Lastly women are less likely than men to receive the suggestion to run for office from anyone. Women are still viewed being responsible for the majority of child care and house tasks.
The most common reason cited for why there are less women in high political offices than men is that ‘women who run for office have to do more to prove themselves than men.” The second most cited reason among both men and women is that women get less support from their party leaders, with 43% of men and 61% of women who feel that way. Women are expected to do more but get the least support most of the times in reality.
The biggest difference in opinion for reasons there are fewer women is that most Americans aren’t ready to elect a woman for higher office, with 56 % of women and 44% of women who think it’s a major reason women aren’t being elected. Among those who say that gender discrimination is a major reason women aren’t elected to high political offices in America.
In conclusion over the past decades there has been a lot of fighting for gender equality and we have indeed gotten somewhere but if we simply just banned this issue it would not be an issue anymore. A lot of injustices are being made all over the world due to this woman aren’t getting paid as much as men even if they go to school longer than they do.
Women aren’t being encouraged or allowed to get an education in a lot of countries. Lastly women aren’t progressing in the political world. If we simply banned this people whose views seem to denigrate the women image would feel less empowered. Women are the future and by banning gender inequality we would be taking a big step into a better tomorrow.
