Gender Inequality

To quote Thomas Frank "Massive inequality, we have learned,isn't the best way to run an economy after all. And when you think about it, it's also profoundly ugly." Gender Inequality is a serious problem and we need to change that if we truly want equality. For years women have fought for their rights and for what? To get paid less than men? To be shamed for what we wear? Because that is the world in which we live in today, disgusting isn't it? We're all after the same thing, equality. Yet decades and decades have passed and we're still forced to live within the stereotypes: women belong in the kitchen, women should wear this, women should wear that and I believe that needs to change. Although I've been talking about gender inequality in women,men do suffer from inequality as well and I'll be get to that later but despite having inequality present in men as well women still have it worse. Women should not have to live in fear of not having enough money to support their children because they get paid less than a man, How does one expect a single mother to support her entire family if she gets paid 35% less than a man, can you believe that? 35%?! it's disgusting and unbelievable. Women shouldn't have to live in constant struggle of finding a conservative outfit to wear because otherwise a man might harass her and women shouldn't have to wear clothes to please a man, if a man finds a woman's shirt distracting then he should stop looking. Women don't have to change just because a man said so. For years women are taught to dress a certain way because if they don't a man might get too distracted, yes, God forbid a woman shows her shoulders or her arms because a man will feel a certain way.
