Topic: Gender equality - page 3. (Read 5711 times)

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.

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.

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))

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..

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

You can't treat a man like a queen, but obviously you can treat him like a king. And there is not much difference between the two except for the gender, as both of them holds almost equal amounts of power and influence.

Gender is a trait inherent in men and women which is constructed socially and culturally. For example that the woman was the meek, beautiful, emotional, and so on. While men are considered strong, rational, male, mighty, and should not be crying

In as much as we want equality for everyone I think women at times tend to put themselves in a position that the male fork forget about this equality but I personally respect them no need to undermine other friends.

It depends on the situation. Men are physically strong unlike to women, their are equal in terms of strength. Woman is treated like a queen when somebody courts her, while you cant treat a men like a queen, its awkward.lol

Girls or women or lady are always a sadness for the society because even now their birth is still unwelcomed than boys.

Mother is the portrait of God. we worship Godess mostly, all of whom are girls but still we are raping, teasing, shame on us, shame on Men society

A lot of places and especially offices are making sure to give gender equality.

Yes, the people are getting better and more cultured towards each other.

Yes it does, but in my own principle, there are some people that are only deserving to be respected so, whatever the gender is, there is no exemption because of equality we have, male or female as long as you deserve to be respected you are respected, there is no greater whether you are a male or a female.
