Gender Equality

  In our society today men and women still discuss the issue if women are equal to men. Some men think that women should stay home, cook, clean, be a hostess, and take care of the children. This is the twenty-first century and women can work, clean, go to school, and also take care of the children. In marriages they also do have equal rights for money, and children.  In today’s society men and women have equal rights under certain circumstances. Men and women are equal in politics. Women can vote, run for office, serve in the Senate and the House of representatives, and vote on legislation. Women are powerful in politics and have equal say and vote on what needs to be passed. In jobs, women and men do not have equal rights. An example can be if a women or a man is running for CEO at a top business firm, a man would most likely be able to get the job. Women feel like it is important to have equal rights for jobs because women can run company as well as a man can. Women still have equal rights in theory, but there is still discrimination. Society slowly does accept women in different situations, like work. No matter what men will always have the upper hand because they are the strong ones and the head of the house. Women now have taken over and do the same, maybe in a few years men and women will have equal rights because society enforces equality in men and women.
