Gender equality

[TOTOKO]

Gender inequality is the most pervasive, since it is common among the people belonging to all ethnicities and religions. Half of the country’s total population, after all, is women. The multifarious discriminations against women are being manifested in various forms, such as under representation in the policymaking bodies of the political parties, different branches of the state and socio-cultural organisations; less wages than their male counterparts for the equal amount of works in different industries; patriarchal domination of women by male members of the family; and so on and so forth. With half of the population, some 70 million, remaining politically, economically and culturallydiscriminated against and, that too, at all levels, ranging from the family to the state, the ruling class’s claims of making democratic progress is nothing but a travesty of truth. However, the left-leaning political parties are particular about mentioning the need for abolition of the existing political, economic cultural systems producing and reproducing inequalities in all spheres of public and private life, but the impression one gets from the manifestos and day-to-day political practices of these parties is that the pervasive inequalities would automatically be done away with as soon as the socialists seizes state power. This is, again, an impractical ‘belief’, given the empirical experiences that the now-defunct socialist world had witnessed.For the democratic growth of society and the state, which was a promise of the country’s liberation war, there is no alternative to taking up the issue of gender equality as a regular agendum by the forces of democracy. The issue needs to be part of the day-to-day political struggle against the forces of pseudo-democracy, which have reduced the concept of democracy to a mere transfer of power through elections every five year. Democracy, after all, is a way of life, based on equality of citizens, which is to be manifested at all levels of public and private life of a populace.

In big companies, yes, as people have started giving them equal opportunities.

Don't mix up two different ideas.
The idea that a man and a woman are equal in their rights is brilliant.
The idea of an abstract equality of men and women is a fake. They are too different to be eqaul.

дyмa, чтo вce тaки кaждый дoлжeн ocтaвaтьcя нa cвoeм мecтe. дa,бeзycлoвнo,жeнщинa дoлжнa чeм тo зaнимaтьcя,paзвивaтьcя, чтoб быть интepecнoй и мyжy и oбщecтвy. нo нe лeзть ни в пoлитикy, ни в мexaникy.. вce тaки этo мyжcкoй миp

Actually woman can be a good politic or manager why not. Or feels which one is a scum or not - as more sensitive being. But mechanics, mathematics and others such stuff are supposed for men.

Sounds weird. If  they are equal in capabilities they should treated equally. If not, for example if workplace requires rough strength or strong programming skills - how your big company will search such skilled woman. It's  road to nowhere. To bankruptcy and collapse

It will still take a couple of years more for this, but things are improving.

[meatygeiger]

People are getting better when it comes to equality, but it will take time.

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 ?

Yes, but women are treated more equally. Atleast where I live.

It is not about a woman being equal to man, it is the unequal treatment of the society to both. Of course woman cannot be equal with man because each one is created uniquely and for a different purpose..

Women already have all the rights, still don't understand the feminists. Do they need something special? All people are equal, except the traditions of some countries,, of course))

We have implemented several significant changes in our society. Eight years ago, women in my country were given the opportunity to exercise their rights to suffrage. In 1930, Iceland elected its first women president. Consequently, other nations started to recognize the ability of women to lead people. The likes of Indira Gandhi of India, Golda Meir of Israel, Margaret Thatcher of United Kingdom to name a few changed the way women are viewed. Extraordinary women started to emerge from different sectors. Mary Barra, the chairman and CEO of General Motors, proves everyone that men and women are equally capable of handling businesses. Beyonce, Serena Williams, J.K. Rowling, Ronda Rousey, Marie Curie and other notable women excelled in their chosen fields. True enough, we have come a long way. However, there are still many equality issues that our society faces. Equality must also be felt even in the lowest levels of hierarchy of any organization. At work, many women still demand for equal pay for carrying out the same responsibilities men carry. In addition, what is challenging with equality is the genesis of other gender identities, which should also be recognized by the government and the people.

In many of the third world nations, the women are treated even worse than the animals. But radical feminists are making things quite hard for the women. They are creating unnecessary hatred between the males and females, by provoking the males.

In most society woman are not treated equally with men. Both men and woman have different roles to play in the society and family, and we must respect the fact that collective contribution builds or creates an idea.

Compare the number of women scientists and men, here is the answer. Usually, women are too cussed and stubborn, thats against them. And of course, the strength had always been an argument

[specialfoolhardyU]

Dont know about others but i think women should be respected equally as men but the saddest reality is many women are misusing the laws they have for girls

[Chulahk]

In old times there was a lot of gender inequality women were treated unequal to men. With developing society somewhat women are treated equally to men gradually. Earlier women were not allowed to work outside to earn money. They are meant to work in house and do household chores. Nowa adays women power has almost reached the sky and they are hard working handeling their home and office plus all the other streams they are at top.

Yes women are treated unequally in the old times by men. But, as time goes by, any gender treated equally (including LGBTs) and that is a good change. But nowadays, bullies and racist take over. As an individual, we must be a role model to our society to stop any discrimination and bullies.

[dashywashy]

No, in our society men are the superior of the women that is why men and women are not treated equal. I think the best way to promote gender equality is promoting it in your home. Parents are the first role model of their children. They are the one who treat their boy or girl child equal. It is important because if the children exposed to the gender inequality as they grow, they are most likely exposed in the negative gender role stereotyping.

I believe humans are equal and with the same rights.  So i guess, humans should be treaded in the same manners.

Most of the time  it is so hard to believe that in our society
men are more dominant than girls.   

[thelma987]

...Gender, both male and female have their own place, there shouldn't be any rash agitation about Gender equality, the woman was designed to be an help mate for the man. The man isn't their to oppress her, rather the man is their to lead, and not a slave master. They must respect each other and submit to each other in love.

Dominant girls are usually feminists or lesbian. It seems to be a bit weird.
Do not muddle dominancy with happiness. It's a big mistake. Barking cat doesnot became a dog.
It is only weird cat.

The only way to solve the problem of women's subordination is to change people's mindset and to plant the new idea of gender equality into every mind.
