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.

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.

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.

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.

The writer Dr. Keith Albow wrote about the differences between men and women. He does not want women and men to be considered equal.

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.

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.

This article discusses the shared and unshared views about female discrimination in the workplace between men and women.

Since 1972 the ACLU has been working to secure gender equality and ensure that all women and girls are able to lead lives of dignity, free from violence and discrimination, including discrimination based on gender stereotypes.

The fact that women and other people in our country and other countries have to even fight to be equal is disgusting. We are all the same and deserve to be treated the same. The fight must continue.

It is crazy to think that in 2017 that we as humans can't treat one another the same as you would want to be treated yourself. I am not a woman but I do have a wife and daughter that I would hate/despise if they were treated any less than myself for any reason.

As much as our women's rights laws have changed in the past years,other countries have not come as far. Some countries,however,are moving small strides towards better days for women. Lebanon's parliament has repealed their "rape law" which allows rapists to escape imprisonment if they marry their victim. Passing the law is just the first step though,applying the law is going to take time and effort.

This article was quite informative and tragic to read, seeing as women are still being treated as less in other countries. While the United States harbors its own cases of gender inequality, women in other countries are faced with injustices they cannot fight on behalf of misogynistic views. While feminism has grown largely within the United States, it seems to lack intersectionalism, which excludes the rights of women in countries ran by a patriarch. I think that this article displays the wrong in the world that can be acknowledged by men women, feminists and non-feminists.

Sexism is an awful part of our society. It affects both men and women. But people do not understand how damaging sexism can be. It can endager attitudes, jobs physical and mental health. Many women avoid talking about their issues because they fear being called Hysteric, or bossy.
