Gender equality

[jlaw007]

No, girls are treated like princesses, sort of. They won't give up their seats to boys, some boys are still gents doing that old absurd thing, but that's fine, that's the norm, so. What matters is a person should treat another the way he/she wants to be treated, with respect, as fellow human being.

[shiki3226]

I strongly believe that both male and female genders should be given and treated equal. However, it doesn't necessarily mean that they should be the same as mean and women have different natures. And no matter what we do, there are roles that we can't interchange or swap between the two like bearing a child or breastfeeding a baby.

When men and women share equal rights and opportunities in a society, this is gender equality. As we recall in the history, women had been deprived of so many things and opportunities. Which in fact they can do what men can. But nowadays, they have given the right to do what they want.

[tuikindu]

Although it is an era of gender equality, many countries still do not accept gender equality.

Men tend to have higher status in society. Gender equality is just a slogan.

[yurenchuang7125]

The so-called equality of men and women is only one aspect, for example, both men and women are qualified for this position.

Men and women are not equal in terms of life or human development. Because men and women's responsibilities are different, so there is no equality!

[kingzpro]

I think women are still not regarded in our society on an equal scale, we need to change that to move forward but at the same time we have to think deep at what nature intends women to do and try to follow that.

Gender equality, equality between men and women, entails the concept that all human beings, both men and women, are free to develop their personal abilities and make choices without the limitations set by stereotypes, rigid gender roles and prejudices. Gender equality means that the different behaviour, aspirations and needs of women and men are considered, valued and favoured equally.

[Temitope]

Men and women are equal but with different purpose to serve. God made men the head of women why men were commanded to respect their wives

[Adeolawu]

Is the state of equal ease of access to resources

[UrKarma]

If we talk about equality of opportunities for realizing potentials, then yes, they are equal. A woman can work at any job, a man too. It is clear that we are not talking about all women in general  there're personal inclinations, abilities, possibilities of the organism, finally.

[Crazygreek]

When im hearing gender equality words always laughing because can't understand when should be equal? Girls just can't find a way to proof their weakness.

Do you think that men and woman are treated equally in society?
if not , what are the ways you suggest to promote equality among society ?

NOT anymore, women seek for gender equality and men gave them what they want, but after that, they get what they want men now are being abused.
how did i say this? look they want all opportunities and equality with men though they still insist on lady's first, that we need to stand up for public transportation just to give them chairs. they have the women desk but there's none for men. If you catcalled them you are a pervert but if they do that to men it's just nothing. Men will go to jail if we hit our wives but the community will laugh at us when our wives are beating us.

The problem of equality of men and women now is depend on the culture and tradition of a country. There are countries that women are already treated equally with men while the others do not have the same action.And for me there is no other reason why there are countries where in their women treated unequal to men and that is their tradition. And I believe when time goes by this will change because of modernisation.

Men and women are not treated equally in society. We are taught about social gender norms from the moment we are born and these differences generate inequality in various ways.

Women are still seen as weaker, more emotional, and are rewarded for good looks rather than intellect. On the other hand, men are encouraged to be tough, emotionless, and are rewarded for intellect/wealth over looks.

These things are 'learned' through interaction with others, through media representations, through school, work or family. These stereotypical ideas about gender constrain both men and women. For example, men are taught to repress emotions, to show leadership, to take risks. Why? Because being emotional/ weak/ scared are 'feminine' traits and therefore less desirable. As long as "femininity" remains associated with traits that people consider to be inferior, then we do not have gender equality.

Of course, I do not mean to say that EVERYONE conforms to these gender norms, or that EVERYONE treats others in accordance with these norms, but this stereotypical gender conditioning is very much present all around us.

[Anonaneadone]

Both men and women have different perspective in their lives. All of us have different views and stand on something that we can see. When we are talking about "equality," I don't think the meaning of the word "equality" reflects on what people says. There are instances that are applicable to men and not applicable to women, and of course, some instances that are applicable to women and not applicable to men. Our society has changed a lot. Before, no woman can vote in a election, but now, woman can now vote, and even run for a government position, and to say, many woman are elected as presidents of their own countries. Before, the women are left at their houses to worry only for their offsprings and household chores, while the men are working outside their houses to support his family. Now, women and men have the opportunities to have a job depending on the qualifications. Still, aside from these things, I can still say that the approach of our society between men and women are still not equal. For instance, there are jobs that is only for women, and men are not qualified on doing that kind of job. There are things that are only applicable for women and not for men, and there are things that are applicable for men and not for women, even though both men and women have the capability on doing such things, but there is a barrier, a stereotype, that if this thing is only for men/women, this is only for men/women. Still, it is unfair.

It very much depends which society you are taking into consideration for your question. In some societies the woman is treated better than men, in others is treated worse than men. It is quite difficult though to find a society where genders are treated equally. It seems there's a duality there which every society cannot really escape.

[troydar05]

Women do deserve complete equality as men. Women have been treated as less then men from the beginning of time. Now lots of women are more successful than men and are still getting paid less. The difference in pay is a problem. Would you pay a man lots of money for a poor job? No.Then why wouldn't you pay a woman a little bit more for a great job? We are going the opposite way; we are paying less. That makes no sense.

[KingKongGorilla]

The story goes both ways. There have to be human rights without any additional diversion into mens' and women's. At some places women suits better and vice versa

[cristinaxx]

In different aspects male and female should be equal like power but their is always an un equality because women are more vulnerable than man. Men and women are created by God in a unique way and they have different rule in the world. Women deserves much better..

[amaldubai1]

Yes what i have seen both are treated equally nowadays. There was time when society discriminate on basis of gender. But now time has changed. It was a tremendous waste of the world’s human potential. By denying women equal rights, we denied half the population a chance to live life at its fullest.
Political, economic and social equality for women has benefited all the world’s citizens. Together we have eradicated prejudice and work for equal rights and respect for all.Men and women are equal but with different purpose to serve. God made men the head of women why men were commanded to respect their wives.The problem of equality of men and women now is depend on the culture and tradition of a country. There are countries that women are already treated equally with men while the others do not have the same action.And for me there is no other reason why there are countries where in their women treated unequal to men and that is their tradition. And I believe when time goes by this will change because of modernisation.There are examples of gender inequality in both directions but probably more cases where its against women than men. One that people often talk about is the pay gap, this is one that often frustrates me because demanding equal pay is not the solution. There are logical reasons for the pay gap (it doesn't equal the current gap but for some gap yes) such as the fact that women are more likely to take extended maternity leave at great cost to an employer. Society now is at the stage where too many people demand everything to be equal when in fact things such as prices wages etc should be decided by market forces but we should just be acting to remove discrimination. We can only do this by furthering understanding and inclusivity.
