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 discusses the shared and unshared views about female discrimination in the workplace between men and women. Around one-third of todays' working women admit to have experienced some form of discrimination within their work place, and statistics show that there is a large lack of balance when it comes to how many men and how many women hold the highest jobs within the country.

Goes into how women are discriminated against domestically as well as internationally. Shows statistics on this, as well as what the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination (CEDAW) does.

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.

In this article, the author discusses how gender discrimination in India effects not only he women themselves but the whole country. Special attention has been focused on the treatment of women in India within the past few years, and the country has had to make some changes, but the inequality between men and women within the country is still far from abolished.

Equality for all has been promoted for many years, but somehow people are still being discriminated at work. Women are being fired for many unjust reasons, as well as men. This article explains the laws in regards to discrimination and workplace fairness.

This article points out the discrimination women face with the pay gap in the U.S. It talks about how even though women make up half of the work force they still earn less than the common man, the author then goes into the reasons this occurs and the efforts that need to be taken to close this wage gap.

A survey stating, "70% of respondents said they wouldn't gain 10 pounds in order to get a promotion." A lady, Bramblette, told reporter that her company was based on looks not skills or experience. Which she could not help her weight gaining because she has lipedema and lymphedema.

Youman's attempt to seek a promotion that she was more than qualified for ended with her manager denying her and telling her its because she is a woman. The article explains the depth of Walmarts descrimination practices.

I think this article was a wonderful way to give people insight on how big companies such as Walmart are discriminating against women. Many people use Walmart as their number one grocery store thus supporting the company. Many people are blind to these types of issues. Great article to find!

This isn't related to my topic at all, but I thought it was amusing because I used to work for this horrible company. They would preach things like, "This is that place," which is a reference to how Walmart is "such a wonderful place to work." In reality, and I say this from experience as an ex-member of their management team, it is NOT a great place to work. They don't value their employees, they don't have consistency across the company, and they have horrendous accountability standards AND consistencies.

This article states how women have different problems with gender equality compared to men. It states how women have to be strong and independent among themselves. Getting equal benefits is hard unless having the same opportunities and agreements. Inequality is a strong thing in the workforce and many other areas.

Women only get 21% less men do when it comes to work. They have equally enough work, so they should get equal pay.

There are many social justice issues when it comes to females being discriminated against solely due to gender. Unfortunately, it seems more common than not for a woman to experience violence. This website points out some of the different gender-based violence taken against females.

Its unfortunate that we still have a problem with gender rights and making awareness of this topic definitely helps fight it!

This article questions whether women's rights have come full circle. The author focuses on pregnancy in the work-place.

The effort to secure equal rights for women and to remove gender discrimination from laws, institutions, and behavioral patterns. The women's rights movement began in the nineteenth century with the demand by some women reformers for the right to vote, known as suffrage, and for the same legal rights as men.

The gender pay gap is still an on going issuse in the U.S. Women make 20% than men do in the workforce. The pay gap is worse in minoiry women and education makes no difference.

Gender equality is a litmus test for quality of life. The lack of equality for women in a given society perpetuates a number of negative impacts. Inequality threatens a woman's ability to earn an adequate wage and breeds violence.

Laws that restrict abortion have the effect and purpose of preventing a woman from exercising any of her human rights. The abortion-rights debate is commonly misunderstood, with advocates on both sides attributing false motives to many good, deeply conscientious people. Denying women access to abortion is a form of gender discrimination.

I like how this article used their own experience of feeling different towards the argument int the past to help boost their side. But I completely agree that men should not have an opinion on a woman's body, but also if they do have an issue with abortion then they need to take preventing unwanted pregnancies more seriously!

This is the most common social issue that I see brought up/discussed. The author is this article did a great job including her own personal experiences with abortion laws. Unlike a lot of the articles on the topic, it was not cut and dry full of laws and instead replaced with actual opinions/experiences. I see this topic coming up more especially as Texas recently passed a law that woman would not be able to receive abortions past 6 weeks of fetus age.
