In the speech, “Equal Rights for Women,” Chisholm uses repetition and the pathos appeal to convince us that she is correct and that women should be treated as equal as men. Repetition is used in this speech specifically to inform everyone that women should have the same rights as men do. “Women need no protection that men do not need. What we need are laws to protect working people, to guarantee them fair pay, safe working conditions, protection against sickness and layoffs, and provision for dignified, comfortable retirement. Men and women need these things equally.
Any employee would need to prove that a male and female can work and operate the same and do equal jobs and should receive equal pay. It is the plaintiff/employee’s load to create the prima facie case, the following should be proven: equal work, unequal pay, same establishment and on the basis of gender. Although, the job does not have to the same, they should be sufficiently equal. The two jobs are considered equal for the objective of the EPA when both need equal levels of responsibility, effort and skills and a re done under the same working conditions in the same company.

Masculinity is a subjective term, and in most cases it is influenced by one's perception and culture (Cullins, V.2012). According to Connell (1995), Masculinity can be interpreted as a choice in which one is made in respect of dressing, behavior, and physical appearance. This essay will critically examine masculinities as it relates to men's labor perception and his work environment based on the findings of Simon Cross and Barbara Bagilhole. This paper will explore the statutes of men in non-traditional male occupations e.g. (childcare providers, nurses, hair dressers) and will also examine the impact of these “feminine” occupations in men's manhood and how these men view their masculinity as they are doing what is generally regarded as “women's work”.
Gays should have the right to get married Cheryl Gentleman Philosophy 103 Dr. Tara LaCasta Revell September 12, 2011 Denying gays the right to get married is discriminating against a particular part of our society. Gays are a part of our society and should be entitled to the same rights as every other citizen. People should not judge others based on their race or their sexual orientation. We live in a free nation were everyone has the same rights in freedoms. This includes the right to marry anyone they want.
Everyone should be treated the same whether or not they are homosexual or heterosexual.” Pondering her answer makes it clear that not everyone is equal. The United States is about being equal no matter whether someone, as an American citizen, male or female, black or white, or even have disabilities. Yet, what the United States did not realize is that the judgment it held against homosexuals would come, in a sense, to bite them in the butt. Equality is about putting everyone on the same playing field. As of today, interracial marriages are equal to same race marriages thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Richard Loving in the case Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S (1967), interracial couples are able to marry.
If women are working more hours than men, many people find it reasonable for women to make more money. From a male point of view, people should be paid based on industry and skill level. It is
This is for companies to have equal opportunities for men and women. The federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VII, prohibits employers from discriminating against any persons seeking a job in any field. It not only prohibits discriminating against race, religion, nationality but also gender. I believe the sad reality is that there is still a fair amount of inequality when it comes to a women’s role in the workforce. I believe that if you look at the hard facts and basic statistics you will not be able to ignore the frustration and discrimination that women face on a daily basis in the work place and business were they are working.
In some states sexual orientation is an additional protected class, and recently the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Hively v. Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana, held that “discrimination based on sexual orientation is a form of sex discrimination and thus prohibited by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964” (Hively, 2017). To avoid real or perceived discrimination in performance evaluation, an organization must create a performance evaluation system that is fair and objective. The Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA) is another example of federal protection against discrimination in performance evaluation. The EPA requires that men and women who work together in the same workplace should be given “equal pay for equal work” (Equal Pay Act (1963)). In the textbook, Alexander and Hartman cite statistics from a 2010 Harris Poll which found that “7 in 10 Americans say women often do not receive the same pay as men for doing exactly the same job” (Alexander and Hartman, 2014, p. 345).
