Unfortunately the recent report tells us that only by 2095 we can achieve the full gender equality on the workplace. However, of course, we could try and shorten that time. It is obviously important to have not only males in the business world, because this way we miss out on many opportunities that women could bring to the world, due to the different perception of values. When for example men are driven by mostly material success, women tend to build up relationships and friendly environment on the workplace. However, sometimes emotions and nurturing can affect the business in a negative manner.
The addressing of the media having a role in projection of a female athlete role interjects the media may not always send the best message concerning a female athlete, which is a message of femininity concerning the athlete. The interjection of the media cast typing how female athletes are always feminine no matter the sport you play; it will always have a feminine illusion of the female athlete. Society tells us that boys are the athletic ones and girls are beautiful. However, more and more women are making a living for athletic ability, most of the time because they are a beautiful athlete. Women athletes have made huge strides since Title IX but there is still room for improvement.
Sharpe’s believe this could be because of the changing attitudes of society in general towards women and the impact of feminism. Mitsos and Browne (1998) say that the service sector which is traditionally seen as women’s work has expanded. Employers usually like women in this sector as they have good communication skills and the rise in the employment of women has given girls the incentive to do well at school. Mac and Ghaill claim that the decline in male employment opportunities has led to an ‘Crisis of Masculinity’ as many boys now believe they have a less chance in a getting a proper job. This undermines their motivation and self-esteem therefore they give up on trying to do well in education and have a fatalistic attitude towards it.
While the men were away at war, women took advantage of rare occasions (open jobs men were associated to) by taking jobs as journalists the way men previously were and etc. "The war really created opportunities for women" Winona Espinosa said. It was the first time women could actually show that they were capable of doing things only men had done before. Moreover, the tough physical labor increased women's self confidence as an individual, and the income as well. These are some positives for women, however if there is a positive thing about something most likely there are going to be negatives to go along with it.
The system worked to some extent in some areas despite this, there is still a range of deep inequalities continue to exist in areas relating to age, gender, ethnic group, region and social class. To begin for example wome today are doing better in education, health and the legal profession, but the term’ the Glass Ceiling ‘remains very strong whereby women could not reach their full potential in their careers this was because no matter how many policies were put in. Gender inequalities still remain! High earning jobs exist in industries such as IT, science, engineering and construction but women are not usually found in such professions because they are considered to be to rather ‘manly’, instead they occupy positions that can be classified into 5 sections under the heading the 5 c’s each title being caring, cashiering, catering, cleaning, and clerical occupations. In other words, those occupations are the ones ‘more suited for women’.
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.
It would have been simply unreasonable to deny women the right to vote, especially now that women had more of a presence in society. However, some historians argue that the war was not actually as important as previously assumed because the women that were enfranchised were not the women who had been working for the war effort. Rex Pope, when discussing changing attitudes towards women says “Attitudes to
However, in some places women still face the challenge of discrimination in their expertise. For example, a woman can be denied a chance of jobs in an interview yet she is more qualified than the men presently (Reilly,
However, people with bigger brains are proven to not generally be smarter. (Gray) After the women’s movement in America, women’s fighting for equality has mostly dissolved. The Constitution is one of the things that has helped women become more independent and able to do more in society. So, does the Constitution still need
From the early beginnings in the founding of America, it can be said that women have been held inferior to men. Along the course of history the basis of this argument has steadily been changing in a positive direction in the favorable light of women. Times have changed in our country and women have been able to attain greater roles in everyday life. It is sad to note that women in some countries around the world have been suppressed from being able to advance to the same level as men. Traditionally, and still today, work is what creates such gender bias.
