The danger of gender inequality

[Hispo]

I think it pretty much depends on the society and context were women and male try to compote for the same positions, jobs and status.
There are some countries were women do not have the option to even pursue a career, but stay home and take care of the children.

While sincerely the distrimination against women in the west as occured before, it has been turned into a political point of debate rather than looking at it in a natural and unbiased way.

Ironically, countries where Islam is prominent and the Sharia law is practiced, there is no question on the role of women, they do not even apply for certain jobs or can't even travel by their own

Do you think life is fair? not everyone have a same chance like the others.

Inequality has been exist since you were born, it's impossible to make both male and female are equal. One has a dck and one has a pssy, it's already different, not to mention male is stronger than female based on the hormone. Life was never been fair, you need to accept it and know what you're good at to become the best of you.

While gender inequality might be a lingering topic as long as humans exist. I think all employment processes aren't biased toward gender inequality regarding some professions. Well, as much as some professions give preference to a specific gender, I still believe competence plays a role in the choice of final selection.

In the context of the CMD in this scenario, I feel his conclusions may have been inspired by experience with previous employees who once had stints in the hospital. He may have opted for the male folk because of agility and more which the female may not have.

But in all of these, some professions will always be gender sensitive and it doesn't mean the other gender isn't competent enough, it's just what the job demands. For example, ladies will always be better options in sophisticated marketing positions than men...

Thanks for sharing!

The danger of gender inequality


Behind every successful man stands a woman, telling him he's wrong.

Two candidates visited my office two days ago to submit their applications for the position of a health assistant. I had the honor of taking part in the interviews with them.After the interview, the candidate did very well, but the CMD chose to hire the male candidate because of his physical strength and height as the best contender for the position.He didn't even give the female applicant a chance to demonstrate her qualifications.What do you think about this?

Opportunities should give to the males because they handle all family and their duty is to work an earn money. Females duty is not good for our society because their duty should be take care of house and babies. Their duty is only maintenance of house. This is best for our society. Females should get knowledge of Quran and hadees because these give all necessary things to our society. With doing practical on Quran, we can get success because this a true message of God. Males also should get knowledge of Quran. Physically, males are strong and they deserve jobs and they are eligible for jobs. Allah make a male body strong for hard work. Doing job for money is not good for our society because it causes destruction in our society.

Some of the physical attributes are fast disappearing in the job space and the simple reason is that AL is now taking over jobs and all you need to do is get trained on how to use machines. The time we are is about knowledge and idea so if a lady has a better knowledge, idea or information more than a man, she is best qualified to occupy the job space, this is what is happening now despite the old way of life. Now, except for a few kind of jobs, the gender inequality is fast going away unfortunately for the patrilineal society that dominated the society.

Both gender might fit some work, in other way round, we give women certain work, and men are also best suited for certain work. Also employer also knew what he wants for his or her organization. This is where in any advert, there is needs to state all the necessary criteria. But some has already left the standard they require and they built this inequality already in their minds which we need to be careful not to go for our own self or personal interest, but what it requires and along with our good goals.

People don't simply take a job. They apply for it. An application is really a request to the employer to make them an employee. Where is the requirement that an employer LOSE his freedom to make his own decision for whatever reason?

There are laws about hiring and firing. If an employer decides he is the kind of employer that falls under these laws, then he better do what the law says. If he doesn't, an applicant might attempt to sue him based on his breaking of one of these laws. The courts will decide.

If an employer has made his business to be outside the hiring and firing laws (there are ways to do this), then the courts will first have to decide if he followed protocols for even letting the person apply for a job. If he hasn't followed those protocols, he has pushed himself under the hiring/firing laws.

The whole thing is up to the freedom of the employer and the freedom of the applicant.

Common sense should prevail. But it became endangered in the land of the Free.

There are certain jobs that best fit a male,especially when the job will be tedious and needs physical strength to get it done. The CMD has already kept that position for a male and that was why he gave it to the guy and not the lady.

If it is a secretary job,do you think that he will give it to the guy,I doubt that. So don't see it as gender inequality. Since you where also part of the interview, why after the guy has been given the job,you didn't ask the CMD what happened that made him not give the lady the chance to prove herself. Maybe,you would have learnt from him because there must be a reason for it.

That is the truth, there are some jobs that are masculine and feminine in nature but we are not always allowed to post gender specifity in jobs. It appears like some kinds of description.
Talking about your idea that there are some jobs that needs gender segregation. When you go to banks they use more of women in the counter with their sweet and light voice to take your money from you. Man's voice might sound deep and somehow scary

The word discrimination is used only for women in today's society, but actually discrimination should mean both men and women as women are discriminated in one way or another as well as men in one way or another.Discrimination victim We say women and men are equal in employment, in fact women and men can never be equal. Women should be given jobs for women and men should be given jobs for men.Because men and women form a family, women have a special advantage where men can't do anything. Men also have some Indians who can't do anything. They may be equal in terms of rights.I don't see any logical reason why women should be given more priority in work or jobs, because in a society if a man gets a job his whole family can run well under him but one.Every time a woman gets something good or a job she acts aggressively and abuses men and men always try to put society down, and they always try to stay down, but actually it is society.Therefore, according to Begum Rokeya, it is better for women to live as half-breeds. Women should stay at home, work at home and help men in various tasks. Men should help them and make them work hard.There are many jobs in our society where strength is required, women will never be able to do them, but they are the ones who say in the society that they don't get equal rights, they don't get equal work, can they actually do it? I am a woman Not speaking against women who should be where they need to be, like wildings in forests beautiful babies in mother's arms Maybe many women can do many stressful jobs, but many men can't, but it is not right to give equal rights to all women race with one or two examples. Men are always more powerful and creative. We have created them as strong so that any movement or any discrimination can be solved by talking to women or talking about equality.I will never say that we need equality between men and women. I will say that we should give and respect and give them dignity and men should have their own rights and dignity.Being aware of work and showing respect to women and valuing their work will not be a discrimination Many interviews ask for beautiful women and don't ask for black or ugly guys. Beauty should never be a criterion for eligibility. Most of the interviews are about girls.Because the girls are beautiful, and they will give good service, it is believed that the work should be Not selected We should create an environment where men and women can live in peaceful co-existence and live according to their dignity and the word discrimination should not be used as it is artificial. Some masculine some feminine People people are creating this word and moving the society in a different direction Finally I can say we are all above all each we are next and everything in this world is half women there is no place for discrimination the word discrimination must not be used.

[BADecker]

^^^ All you are saying is that everybody who is applying for a job, must apply for ALL OF THE JOBS. And he/she must hire on to every job that accepts his/her application. No discrimination.

An employer gets 500 applications for a job he is hiring for. One job available, 500 apps. So, hire them all and let each one work 57.6 seconds of each 8-hour day.

Wouldn't freedom for the employer be better?

Gender inequality in the society can be seen in the church,at home,at school where a gender is preferred over another.In this case,the girl has a chance of trying because she was qualified and her physical appearance doesn't matter that much because it is said that what a man can do a woman can do more better.For example in most Africa countries the girls are not privileged to be educated due to gender norms,only the male children are allowed to be educated.In a situation like this the girls are deprived from receiving education in any form.Gender inequality restrict a gender from being valued, recognized and respected.

The job was not for her, that is why she did not get it. The CMD already had a preference in males for the position as some employers do also for some job openings, and on the condition that no males where found qualified for the position, he would have had to hire the lady the lady qualified and not go ahead to employ an unqualified male. If he had employed an unqualified male for the position when there was a qualified female, that would have been where I have an issue. Preference is what got the male the job.

I think that it would be dumb for employers who wants the progress of their companies to employ applicants based on gender preference alone, it must be that the preferred gender will enhance productivities and add value to the companies. So in the OP naretive I believe that the employers must feel that the job will best suit a male applicant, if not they'll be doing their company a diservice. My point is that as far as private sector work goes, I doubt that any reasonable company will employ based on gender inequality, it has to be the gender that'll be more productive for them. The public sector is a different ball game, they can employ based on sentiments and it could be either of the genders.

Generally I think that the issue of gender equality is been addressed because we can now see women that are holding top positions both in the public and private sectors, something that was solely for the male gender before.

[btc78]

This gender discrimination is seen everywhere in any kind of workforce

Please enlighten me how does height is considered when employing a health assistant? As for physical strength, I guess one would need it in case they need to carry a patient regardless whether the candidate can do it she still should have been given the chance to show it

When it comes to professionalism, I don't think we should apply gender discrimination here because it is a must that we must apply it to find the suitability of the role we are in need of a particular gender, you can't expect a man to put in for a role of a nurse when this has to deal with women experienced in the specific role needed, same also as men, but when it comes to the giving of equal rights, everyone should be treated equally by the virtue of whom they are as accordingly, when we are being partial about this with injustice, our conscience alone talks alot about that on us.

[jrrsparkles]

You gave vague job description as health assistant but if the nature of job requires physical strength then giving the opportunity to whoever is stronger is fair thing and I am against denying anyone without even knowing what they are capable of. But this can't be taken into wider picture about the gender inequality exists around the world and the fact is Male and female has their uniqueness and certain jobs require one over others and most women choose to ignore the job even if they are capable of doing it.

What I think is that you should have asked your CMD the reason he didn't hire the female candidates for the job and not us who has no idea of the job descriptions or specifications. I think there's no gender discrepancy in that scenario. The CMD must have observed something you didn't observe, maybe you were probably looking at the buts and boobs of the female candidates.

If there girls were more qualified, they would have been hired. And if the job opening was only for male, they wouldn't have been asked to apply. When you become a CMD, you may understand better. But if you insist you want to get the community honest reactions, let's know the job specifications of that position. Did this story actually happened? Maybe a made up story as usual.

All nature of jobs has its criterials while considering possessions of individuals that is best fitted with the nature of the jobs.
There are nature of jobs that either requires skills, manpower or number counts including genders considerations.
You can't admit to hire an individual who doesn't posses the criterias required to execute your job or anyone who may compromise the possible achievement of your goals so, ramifications in considering quality employees is paramount to enhance and reaching your goals.

[Miles2006]

That's how things are done in my locality and it doesn't has to be an application for a job but it has been for long and this has caused a lot of problem in today society, the fact you used job as an example doesn't necessary mean it has to do with employment only, if you observe carefully in some areas ladies don't have equal right as men do, when I mean equal right I'm referring to the things women have less privilege to do like contesting for a governorship election etc.
Although no one can really tell why things are done like that. since you made employment as a reference, if the work requires human strength then ladies should not get involved like some work need strength and if the person is not fit then there's no need for an opportunity, and you didn't mention the kind of job so I can't give any reason why the lady didn't get the job.
