Throughout the year’s I believe that society has taken many
steps down the right path. There have been many good instances that have worked
towards progression and that have brought us closer to the equality of women
and men. One example being the 19th Amendment which really helped
toward more equality by giving women the right to vote, and I believe that it
has given light to the feminist movement. Yet with all progression that has occurred,
you’d think that we’d be living in an equal and fair society that didn’t judge
you based on gender. Its outrages to know that women have never gotten as equal
of treatment as men, and it’s even more outrages to know that a woman makes 77
cents for every dollar that a man will make. A man could easily be working less
hard than a woman, but yet he’ll still end up getting a higher pay. It’s not
fair and I think that the way things are occurring right now need to change. I’m
not saying that women deserve a higher pay than men, nor that a woman should receive
higher benefits than those a man receives, but rather I believe everything
should be fair and square. It’s a lot to ask for especially considering the
fact that the universe has always functioned this way, but it’s not impossible
to achieve, and hopefully sometime in our lives we will be present to see it
come true.
I also believe that society has progressed but women are still looked upon as inferior. We don’t get the same treatment as men do because society believes we are still different. Although women may be earning less than men, women are still fighting for change. They have moved into jobs that used to be exclusively for men and are still seeking for more opportunities. Slowly, we are progressing and I agree that everyone should embrace equality.
