Another challenge for women is how they are denigrated in the media and by men. One greatest abuse against women is the violence that still exists in the world. Women are currently being mistreated in many different ways in society. In their everyday lives, women are subjected to discrimination due to being a woman. In many work places, women are disadvantaged because they are not being selected for advancement in jobs.
Also Newton refers to discrimination as an act of injustice towards the receiver. For example, if a woman is turned down for a job because a male with the same qualifications was also interviewed and received the position due to his gender. Newton doesn’t agree with this injustice but also wonders since more people are realizing that not choosing persons due to their gender or race is discrimination, if they are giving women and or African Americans special treatment so that their company can look diverse and nondiscriminatory. If true, then the rest of workers are now having the bulk of injustice done to them. Newton states, “It is, then, an ironic paradox” (414).
Sexism in American Society Sexism is a long-standing historical and global problem. Nowadays, many countries still exists with the concept that a man has more power than a woman and women should listen to men, especially in American society. Even though the practice of feminist movement have never stopped, hostile sexism and benevolent sexism is still very common in American society. The relationship between Lou, Mindy and Albert in A Visit From The Goon Squad (Jennifer Egan) reveals the hostile sexism, benevolent sexism and self-discrimination in women in American society because it shows how a powerful man despises a less powerful woman and how women discriminate themselves. Hostile sexism is a negative emotion directed towards women such as anger, resentment, revile and so on.
A major problem women encountered when entering the workplace was harsh sexism. Many men felt that there were certain jobs for women and that they couldn’t do things as well as the men. While women entered the working class, they encountered long hours and lower wages than their male counterparts. Many people believed the men deserved more money because they were the head of the household and it would be terrible if the women earned more than her spouse. Today this view has changed slightly.
If it is a result of implicit discrimination due to lifestyle choices, then women’s lower earnings result from the fact that women take more time off when having children or choose to work fewer hours. If it is explicit discrimination, then the gender pay gap is a result of stereotypical beliefs. There is a debate as to what extent this is the result of gender differences, implicit discrimination due to lifestyle choices, or because of explicit discrimination. If it is a result of gender differences, then the pay gap is not a problem; men are simply better equipped to perform more valuable work than women. If it is a result of implicit discrimination due to lifestyle choices, then women's lower earnings result from the fact that women typically take more time off when having children or choose to work fewer hours.
Lukas argues that the gender pay gap is solely based on career choices between men and women. Women may choose a more relaxed, traditional or laid back position, while men may have to work jobs that require longer hours and overtime which contributes to more pay and higher pay checks. Lukas is not alone in her belief that pay discrimination has long been
"Equal pay for equal work' is this fair?” There is not, and can never be, any logical argument against equality of payment for the same work as between men and women. It is true that men do certain jobs better than women, or quicker, and the reverse holds true about other jobs. But is 'equal work' which is under consideration and payment for any type of work, performed by anybody, is always the least that the employer can get away with. In other words, pay rates are fixed by two factors; firstly the supply of labor available for a particular job. Scarce labor for skilled jobs tends to push up wages, coupled with the fact that skilled workers will revert to laboring jobs unless they are paid extra for the use of their skill.
According to Kathryn Coleman (2007.) main violence occurs in males, as they are more capable also physically and willing to act up on domestic violence; to put women ‘back into her place. ‘This is because the change in equality, including employment and childcare. There is never going to be a true and a full picture of Official statistics as victims are scared of reporting their
Even if a woman is qualified for a specific job, a male can get the job more easily simply because that is what has been the example in the workplace from before. The stereotype that males have more leadership skills makes results in the reality that sometimes it that males are more likely to get hired for such positions. Women often experience workplace discrimination due to their gender. Since many men believe that they are the more dominant, the assume their position of acting in that sense. This topic is important because discrimination based on gender defies what is right.
