Topic: The danger of gender inequality (Read 755 times)

The employer considered many things before deciding on the option to make, we should understand that if I am an employer of labour i know what I want, irrespective of the gender, I will always go for who will deliver for me, the decision of employment is the power of the owner the company, no one should blame the manager for anything because we never can tell if he is under the instructions of the MD.
Making the situation look as if no one value women is not a good one for me, I think this now down to anything a man can do a woman can't do it, no matter how we see it, God made it to so and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

my view. Equality does not always have to be fair in making choices, equality is rights and opportunities. rights for people who have rights in their field or the criteria regulations, opportunities are those who are considered to have the ability in the criteria, so that the person understands the opportunities, talking about applying for jobs and rights, for example, a company must include a list criteria for prospective workers, for example, a company wants workers in the technical department to be male, so this right is given to men, and conversely, if a textile company needs a female seamstress to operate a sewing machine, then this right is given to women. Regarding opportunities, of course everyone has the opportunity, but it goes back to the criteria of rights that the company wants to give to whom. It is impossible for the world to be reversed where a man's position is filled by a woman and a woman's position is filled by a man. So in essence equality does not always have to be fair but must look at rights, criteria, abilities in all aspects...

OP you cant blame the manager for picking the man based on his feeling that he wiudl do the job better, and from what you said he was looking at physical Strength which is something a male has more than a female, so it's not fair to blame him for making such decision.


I agree with you on this, just see how a little right is making them feel in the society, there should fucking know their place and sit while men rule, but I guess working isn't such a bad thign for them to do.

every job have specification and employers most times have the kind of people they want to accept for each position in mind before  putting out an advert for a particular vacancy. If the job can be best performed by the male folks,  then there is nothing wrong if they are employed and the same is what is applicable for jobs that suit the female gender. Most managers employing receptionist would normally opt for females because the nature of the jobs suit the females more but when it comes to jobs that requires the use of energy, there nothing to argue about, the male will always be preferred to the female.

We can't deny the fact that there are folks that are too gender conscious and would always prefer a particular gender to another which is obviously wrong but putting all things into perspective, as long as you are relying on others for your employment, they have the final say on who they want to accept into their organisation and whatever decisions they make is totally up to them.

The gender imbalance can have a severe impact on both men and women, leading to emotions of feeling unsafe, dissatisfaction, and even physical and sexual assault. Women confront difficulties in terms of participation in positions of authority such as government and industry, and their interests are not always taken into account, which can lead to harassment and unequal treatment. And women are thought to be only designed to be at home, either as housewives or as persons who are incapable of leadership and should instead focus on their families. That is why in the olden days, even now, in some groups of people, women don't attend to school, because they are considered as people who don't have value or can't offer anything in her father's house.So they refused to pay more attention to them, whereas some males face inequity, particularly if they come from a poor family or do not have a good reputation.

It is funny you mention jobs which take physical strength, because in reality little women actually seek to take part in those jobs were men are over presented because being strong and having a high stamina is a requirement. When feminist organizations talk about gender inequality they never mention positions like construction workers, plumbers, lumberers, etc. they mostly talk about positions in the head of corporations, CEOs, bosses, managers, among other similar positions of responsibility, where men are also over represented.
There is some hypocrisy in those talking points in my opinion, if those feminist organizations would actually find equality they would also encourage women to also join the military and enroll in the defence of their country, but it is not how they are trying to push their message forwards.

Also, you talk about women are supposedly better in jobs which require kindness and care. Still it is common to see men in jobs of nursery and as teachers.

Your boss or someone in that position that's higher than you and has been dropped with the required person that shall take that position needs to be specific with the candidate that you guys have to hire. It's always hard when it's about choosing the applicants and some are going through with their decision through their hearts than of their minds. On this matter, your higher op just chose the right fit that your company needs and that's why if it is what it is, you can't say that there's a bias thing that has happened on that candidate choosing.

This is the rough thing about the corporate world. You need to be at the best during the interview but then when on the actual duty, the performance drops if didn't monitored well. As for that hiring process, it's the typical process and that's your opinion that he might be bias but in reality and everyone's perspective, he's not and he just did his job and the right thing to select the right new colleague.

I think if you look physically, then there is a difference between the genders. Some professions, the female are more ideal and some professions, the male are more ideal. They can't be equal trait vs trait, i mean when it comes to strength, its male, but when it comes to kindness and affection, i think its the female, so that is why i believe that female can be more successful and more useful in professions like teaching and related jobs, but men can be more ideal for jobs where physical strength matters. No point in taking it as a gender inequality.

We all have our own perspective and obligations to handle in a family. It would not be nice if we do things in a way that will not help us to stay better na d connection to our responsibility. Man and woman when they comes together, each have there own role to play being parents for the children. It is the duty of a man to take care of his family by providing for them and making sure that they get things done within pressure on the other partner.

I’m a firm believer that the job should always go to the best candidate. I have found over the last 20 years or so that companies seem to want to hit quotas, so many women, so many disabled, so many black, asian employees etc. The job should go to the best qualified, best candidate for the job every time. There should never be anything else to the decision to employ somebody.

I think that am not in the position to question the decision of the direct employer position in this, may be he has considered so many things before coming out with such decision and again the assignment may require strength we can never tell, I think we can be complaining when the woman was chosen in place of the man, I have seen this happen severally, I want you to understand that the decision of the man has nothing to do with negligence, the employer knows what he wants and he went for it and that's it. There is no atom of discrimination or favouritism in this event, what happened was bound to happen for a reason.

I don't know if op is a male or female for his ideology of inequality but i have a few more things to ad to his knowledge of life.

The social strata is of a hierarchy for a reason because if everyone becomes equal there will be no superior nor inferior and this will lead to a social crisis. There must be one who gives command and one who obeys this command and that it's how human race had evolve from origin.

The so called embittered mind individuals who agitate for equality in every sector of life are more likely to seek there personal/ selfish aims and after achieving this goals will tend to decamp from the feminists headed groups. and I believe op was unfortunate on this job position, I mean he or she must have a personal reason (selfish aim) for thinking what the CMD did was an act of inequality or discrimination.

Mind you I'm not in support of discrimination but I love things being put to order. let the truth stand and don't be biased OP.

Not only Holy Bible, but also eastern philosophies, such as Yin-Yang, have always presented men and women as different from each other, although always complementary, since one need the other to live in balance. Along the time, differences between them, especially regards social roles, have been decreasing considerably, what is undoubtedly good, since women conquered individual rights and got recognization for their deeds and skills inside the society.

However, this feminist movement has lost its legit purpose once their legit goals were achieved by the XX century to become a left wing extremist conglomerate of embittered, rageful and sick minded individuals who don't want social equality anymore, rather they want superiority towards men. They don't act to build, but to destroy and spread strife between the sexes. Thankfully, wise women who keep their essence don't fall for such rageful movements. They don't give up on their femininity, loveliness, grace and every other attributes which are exclusive of female beings, and therefore make them unique, different and unequal from men, as it has been always supposed to be by natural rules.

If everyone was equal and there wouldn't be differences between sexes, what would motivate men to get inspired and fall in love for women, then? The consequences of the implementation of these noxious political and ideological agendas are the subversion and annihilation of the beauty containing in the world.

In the modern era, it is true the gap is closing when comes to the differences between the number of hired men and hired women, the gap between their salaries and also the way they are treated when they are in a position of power or management. Though, it is a positive phenomenon which is not happening in an uniform way around the planet, there are countries where it is still very rare to see women in administrative positions or women who are bosses. Here in my country, women mostly stay in secretary jobs and not as bosses.

You would also consider in Eastern societies, women are not allowed to do many things, because of societal rules or because of religion. Iran and Saudi Arabia are good examples of it, so to me it is weird to see how the West supports women's rights in a wide sense and at the same time does not mind the muslin customs and traditions which keep women from doing things all men can do. Obviously, it is also something which affects the ability to seek and get jobs.

From my perspective it's not discrimination although I'm not a support of discrimination but some times things aren't discrimination but a decision for the best.

The feminists who claims that women should be equal with men has brought so many problem to the society today, from the family level to every social level. even from the creation of man and woman according to the accounts of the bible, man was created first and then woman from his ribs. this is a sign that this to beings are never equal in any situation man is always higher than women but there are women who will emerge on the same level as men but it doesn't men we are equal.

Looking at the family level, women now work this same shift and equal time with men leading to children not been will taking care of living the children in the hands of their teachers. thereby leading to change in social behavior or children. infact there is more negative effect of feminism than positive effect.

Exactly what you are saying is right, I also think that the company should look first, then the man and woman should look after, that is the laws of the company are applied first. One should first choose what is best for him,  the place from which the person is eating sustenance, then one should think of it first, that is why this choice was made. Because it was the best choice for him, he ignored the things that were not in his favor.

This discrimination is seen everywhere.  Women are looked down upon everywhere.  However, in the modernization of the era, its amount has decreased a lot. However, it has not disappeared at once.  Men are valued more in every institution, but the current women's society is not behind anything.  Women are excelling in every sector.  Almost women are now vertical.

The value of women is now increasing and this is not without the feminist movement or agenda that was pioneered by the first sets of female who were educated and felt that they were marginalized and cheated of different rights including that of association. In the past the female sex were denied of different rights, they were more of the reserved specie that it was almost like a taboo that their voice would be heard but not anymore. So many phenomenon has changed to the favour of women, from job engagement and appointment to even their status at home against their earlier known duties as house wife. So it is no surprise with the way changes have occurred in the global status of women because of education which created that awareness and solidarity within themselves to pursue a common course.

Hmm what do I think about this. I think there are job requirements that is gender centred as in if you look at the position of a secretary assistant you will most likely find the females in that area being giving the job more than males and there's a reason for that if you look deep into it. It is for this reason that I think further that the CMD must have his genuine cogent reasons for doing what he did, it could be that his experience over the years would have thought him that the male is one that is best fit for the job cause it could be that it requires physical strength to man the duty. So it's not all about gender inequality.

That is a good decision and the CMD know what he is doing by employed the male worker because, male employees are more active in some organization and they are more regular at work compared to femal employees who always take some permission monthly base on their monthly issues they use to experience from their body and they use to experience maternity leave every year to take good care of their new born baby.

But there are some CMD that will like to employ female workers in their organization for some certain things that will attract more customers to them in a way the company will remain popular in that particular product they are into in the society.
