Gender equality

[step2018]

It is possible for women to do what men do but not for the average woman. Most men are raised up doing and learning things that are applicable in the workplace. Women are not. It is not that they can't do it they just don't want to or they don't have a lifelong background of skills applicable to the work place. Please don't misunderstand me I am not a sexist it is just an observation.

For example the average guy grows up fixing cars, building shit, etc and over time learns a lot of skills applicable to a lot of jobs. Women certainly could do these things if they wanted but most don't want to. I don't do manual work at my job but I spent a lot of years doing it and fully understand all the details. This is where men get the advantage over women.

I don't think women don't learn these things because they dont want to. It's all about how our society raise the girls, I mean just think about the toys for girls and the toys for boys. Since chilhood , boys are encouraged with toys of spatial notions, financial solutions and logical reasoning. They're toys that develop technological or scientific abilities, unlike the toys of girls who develop the perception of care, for example how to take care of the house or babies. I believe childhood experiences are crucial for future choices, whether for boys or girls, so obviously you will find more men who know how to fix cars than women, because they received an encouragement for this activies since childhood, so this is much more a cultural factor than a biological one .

Nature has created two sexes - male and female, they differ physiologically, perform different roles and functions. So can they have one right in everything? If the answer is yes, then it is against nature, why mix men and women, make men out of women and vice versa, and this road leads exactly there.

It will take a hell lot of time for men and women to become equal and to be treated equally.

[LORENthetiger]

Men and women are treated equally only in some parts of the world, but otherwise no.

[Lorin]

Gender equality is when both men and women enjoy their rights  in different aspects of life but we have to consider both also to respect and love each other.As far as I know men are above than women who worked hard for the needs of the family but today lot of women that also work to help her husband.
Both of them have qualities that made them important to each other.

[squesto]

Gender equality should not to be mixed with just solely women rights. Granted, many women are all too familiar with the “glass ceiling” that keeps them looking up at similarly (or less-) qualified men in positions above them. Add to this a wage gap that, while narrowing, stubbornly persists.

It has been suggested that a dual-pronged effort of increasing entry and retention of more women to the workforce represents a substantial opportunity for growth of the world’s principal economy. In the US this is a 5-10% addition to GDP in just a few decades.

Education can be the springboard for women’s progress. Specifically, promoting higher education in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields and other areas conducive to careers traditionally pursued by men is the key that could unlock the earning power of women.

I believe they should be treated differently yet fairly because they have different personalities, strength and weakness they should be supported according to their own needs and calling as far as work, skill and abilities is concern.. they need not to be compare.. but rather should be equally treated in their own kind.

[Elsie123]

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 ?

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. They've been designed differently according to their purpose but in the society men are always favored and women are always being treated with less regards.

[MatrixJolly]

Women are still treated badly and inferior to the men in the society and this needs change.

[Basaleyi]

if you look at this issue with different view you may find lots of things man can do where women can't and vise versa but lets live together as kind human because nothing gained from continuous discrimination against women .

[jovi47]

I don't think so. Obviously we need to do more work for that.it's still a long walk to go

[dotz5]

Nothing is fair and gender quality is impossible. We are created differently to serve different roles and responsibilities. However, the treatment between men and women should be as close as possible. Both men and women should given equal opportunity in education, career opportunity, respects and rights. But they should also not forgetting the physical attributes given to men (e.g. strength, fatherliness) to protect and take care of one another.

in my country the plot between men and women has been recognized by the government, so all kinds of jobs are not gender-sensitive. so women and lakuki are treated equally.

Here in our country there is still a job that needs gender, depend on a store and a company. Gender equality should push by our government, because we are all the same human being. Even lesbian and gays are not treated equal, I think if all of us will treated equal we can have a freedom to express what we want to.

The issue of gender equality has been widely discussed in philosophical literature and the mass media sources. In any democratic society, gender equality is considered to be an important moral principle that should be followed by all members of society. Reviewing ethical theories, it is possible to apply the core principles of each of the theories to the issue of gender equality in order to identify the ethical theory that provides the most satisfactory moral answer to the issue and the ethical theory that provides the least satisfactory answer to the issue of gender equality. There are several ethical theories that could be used to answer the issue of gender equality. The three theories that will be discussed in this paper include utilitarianism, virtue ethics and feminine theory. Considering the key principles of these ethical theories, it is possible to identify the most powerful theory that could be used to handle the issue of gender equality. Thesis statement: Feminine theory captures basic moral insights in relation to gender equality because it highlights the necessity to address women’s rights, providing guidelines for morality and ethical consistency. This theory is the most satisfactory moral answer to the issue of gender equality, comparing with utilitarianism and virtue ethics.The issue of equality, especially gender equality, is an important ethical issue that requires the proper investigation in order to find solutions. The issue of gender equality is associated with human values and the socially constructed process of developing values in humans. Moreover, the issue of gender equality combined with the emergence of social movements may result in the promotion of gender equality at the global level. According to Cady Stanton (2007), many organizations are focused on promotion of women’s rights. In Cady Stanton’s lecture “Subjection of women”, the author continues to advocate a wide range of reforms that she considered crucial to achieving equality for women” (p. 140). The author believes that women should be focused on developing and establishing their independence in social life and in their relationships with men. Her work inspired many feminists and contributed to the development of feminist movements.

It is not just a human rights issue; it is a tremendous waste of the world’s human potential. By denying women equal rights, we deny half the population a chance to live life at its fullest.

No, people always think and treat us women as a weak individuals. We often get underestimate by the adams. The fact is, we as women are much stronger than men. We as women are smarter than men. But men can't accept the truth that we are better in every ways except physical power.

[albantani]

in fact women are more elevated than men, only women always make themselves looked down by men, so if women want to be viewed equivalent to men make himself better

[innocent93]

Of course, it is a modern society where the right between male and female are the same so the rights are equal, perhaps woman has more right then male, if we think for example at the maternity leave.

[Orna]

Gender will never equal. Everywhere there is gender discrimination. Men and women both are different and they will never equal but they can be treated equal.

[Betheng10]

If women wanted to be treated equally, don't pull out the Im-a-woman-you-should-be-a-gentleman card only if it's in your advantage. Example, When both couples are hungry but the girl insisted to have a bote of the food first
