  •  
    Do you believe men should get paternity leave from work? This site provides both sides to whether fathers should get time off of work to help raise and care for their children or not. Comment below your thoughts!

    I noticed that some of the arguments against men getting paternity leave are that the women do all of the work, so the men do not deserve it. I think this is a foolish argument because it is contradicting. If the mom does all of the hard work, why not give the father paternity leave in order to help her with the baby? The father cannot do anything about the growing baby in her stomach and all of the side effects that come with it, however, he can help feed the baby, change the baby, and put the child to sleep. It is not a vacation, it is time given to spend with their newborn child and assist in one of the most difficult phases of being a parent.
  •  
    I fully support this debate. Men should be afforded the right to be a parent just as much as a mother is.
  •  
    I agree, men should be able to get time off from work so they can also spend time with their new baby!
  •  
    I had a conversation with a coworker recently. We didn't understand why men are not offered Paternity leave at several companies including the one I work for. I believe that men need the time to bond with their children just as much as the mother does.
  •  
    I would have loved it if my husband could have taken time off from work when my children were born. Things aren't as clearly defined as they used to be. There aren't mens jobs and womens jobs. My husband helped me with all of my children, as well as working a full time job. It's up to each family to decide what works for them. We have stay at home dads now and moms who work and everything in between.
  •  
    This is an interesting topic, that I haven't herd before. It should be up to the man. although the women are the ones who are actually pregnant...
  •  
    I would have loved if my husband could have had paternity leave from work when I had my children. It also depends on the circumstances in the family household. Can they afford for both to be on leave?

Men Can Be Victims of Abuse, Too - The National Domestic Violence Hotline - 0 views

  •  
    Men being victim to domestic violence against another woman, or possibly another man, has been laughed at by society for quite some time. The ability for men to come out and share their abuse stories or get away from an abusive relationship needs to be encouraged more. They don't need to always be tough and "man up", that is a very old fashioned way of thinking, and needs to be reviewed.

Equal Pay - 5 views

  •  
    Women deserve equal pay. On average, they are paid less than their male counterparts. It effects their spending power and what women receive in their social security.

    This is a really good article because it also talks about how race affects the pay gap. Most articles I find on the topic ignore how non-white women are paid less than white women. The struggle for mothers attempting to reenter the workplace is horrible.
  •  
    A reality unfortunately, in our society. It is almost hilarious how you read on all papers when you are hired :"we are an equal opportunity employer, no discrimination of any kind..." and yet the first thing you notice is the pay you get in comparison with a man who is less qualified than you but...he is a man. And, as kat2222004 pointed, very hard for mothers to reenter the work field, the mother is not trusted anymore to be a reliable employee.
  •  
    Really good article. I saw this as I was choosing a topic to discuss in our discussion last week. I 100% agree that women should receive the same pay as men. Women are such hard workers whether it is in the work force, or for those who have to maintain a family as well.
  •  
    The 77 cent claim has been repeatedly refuted because it does not accommodate for the fact that women are more likely to choose lower paying jobs or jobs with benefits. Men on average work longer hours. Single, childless women in major cities earn more than men. Women obtain 58% of college degrees. Women are less likely to go into STEM jobs. Also statistics are easily manipulated. Watch TJ explain the wage gap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWAlg48fNwE

    I definitely agree with this article. Even if some people like to think this isn't a problem it definitely is. For men and women in the same field regardless of what that field is men often get the higher income than women do. My mother is a major example of this and often talks about how the men in the same department as her make more money even when they produce less work that generally isn't that good. On top of that my mother works the same amount of hours and even more than average in a given week yet still doesn't come close to the pay gap. Of course, there may be inconsistency in statistics but it is definitely still an issue to be aware of because it still exists.

  •  
    I love how this website uses graphics to explain the ideas. I also think it has shocking statistics and information.
  •  
    This article was extremely intriguing. It gives wonderful statistics between the gender equality differences of men and women. The hardest one I found to believe was the difference between pay of men and women in the medical profession of surgeons and physicians.

Wrongful Convictions - 1 views

  •  
    Over the years many innocent men and women have been wrongful convicted of crimes they never committed. Each day many are proven innocent and finally able to see loves ones and walk as free men and women again.
  •  
    My heart hurts for people who are wrongly incarcerated. After they are released it isn't enough to apologize or give them large amounts of money. There are no transitional programs to reintegrate them into society. It's usually up to local organizations to help people get back on their feet.
  •  
    Wrongful incarceration is a really big deal in our country. Black men and women especially are being incarcerated at higher rates due to petty crimes or crimes they didn't even commit and I think that really needs to be fixed.

Studies Show Judicial Bias Against Dads - 0 views

  •  
    This article looks at the prejudice of the legal system toward men in child custody cases. Anti-father and pro-mother bias plays a part in a judge's decision to award full or partial custody. Gender bias is prevalent in our American Justice system, even when bound by a code of judicial obligations.
  •  
    Wow this article was very interesting and kind of eye-opening to me, I guess I never fully realized (until now) that this is an issue! Thank you for sharing this!
  •  
    I have thought this for a long time now. As women become more a part of the work force, more men are taking on the roles as the primary caregiver for children. because of this, I believe that the old stereotype that men are gone all the time and have no idea on how to be a caregiver is completely false.

Gender Bias in the workplace - 2 views

  •  
    This article tackles the gender bias topic in the workplace. They made the video to show the dramatic differences in the way men and women are viewed for the same characteristics or behaviors.
  •  
    It's really sad to see the difference in how men and women are treated in the work place. Women are viewed differently because of their gender and not by the job that they perform.
  •  
    Reading this shows how sad the equality is between men and women. It bases it off of gender instead of performance which is not right at all, especially with the women.

The invisible domestic violence - against men | Nicola Graham-Kevan - 0 views

  •  
    Domestic violence is usually shown as man being the abusive and dominant partner. Over the past four decades, research shows that the self-reported abuse is equal between men and women. A study by Professor John Archer of the University of Central Lancashire said that men and women are equally likely to commit domestic violence, however severe injuries more commonly affect woman.

Supreme Court Must Protect The Individual Right To Marry, Not Limit Individual Rights - 0 views

  •  
    Applied to marriage, assuming what's not true, that marriage between two men offends me, it's not the government's role on any level to protect me from being offended. Whatever one thinks of marriage between two men or two women, the argument that such a union negatively impacts those who aren't gay, or those who blanch at marriage between gay people is not compelling. Here's hoping we don't stop at marriage in expanding individual rights, rights that are natural, and that should exist free of political or voter influence.

Eleanor Roosevelt and the Women's Movement - 0 views

  •  
    Starting with Eleanor Roosevelt movement women have came along way, we see how much women had to suffer to get where they are today. Women had to fight for the same rights men had when it comes to pay or education. They still face issues with being treated unfairly today, such as certain job where men say that some work isn't for a women but only for men to do.
  •  
    Eleanor Roosevelt was a good lady and deserves a lot of credit for what she did for the women of America.
