do you think men and women are treated equally in our society? give five specific examples?

Question

explain it ..

Answer 1

no, women are not treated equally.
1) women in the US make about 70% of what men make doing the same job
2) women's "2nd shift"- more women are in the workplace, but still carry the bulk of household and child related chores.
3) women are not well represented in politics
4) the feminization of poverty
5) Affirmative Action is still necessary to make sure that women are considered for certain jobs

Answer 2

Is anyone anywhere treated equally? And for that matter, what would happen if they were?
Handicapped people are unequal merely because they cannot use they bodies to the fullest, and although there exist programs for them, none of these make them equal. And these programs are also inequal to those who cannot receive them. Women are treated differently, and they also treat others differently. You would treat a friend better than an enemy, so there is inequality there.
However, that is a digression, really. However, there ARE many misconceptions about inequality here.

1) Women, for the most part, earn the same amount as men IN THE SAME position. Most statistics are gathered about average earning power, and men usually make up the higher pay brackets, partly because of the "Good Ol' Boys Club" rule that let's men climb the corporate ladder quicker. So, women don't earn less for the same job, but they have fewer opportunities to get those higher paying jobs.

2) Women are not treated the same in regards to sexuality, but neither do they treat themselves the same, either. I've heard more women called whores by other women than I ever have by men, and although this is only anecdotal evidence, it is VERY persistent evidence in my case.

3) As housewives, no women are not paid and it is not recognized as a "labor" job, but when was the last time you were paid to empty your own trash or cook dinner for your family. Househusbands are equally unpaid, but there just so happen to be more housewives than husbands. And it is also the womans choice to stay at home, unless she finds herself with the wrong man, perhaps.

4) The laws in the US do not favor men, but the people enforcing the laws often do. As far as female authority figures go, they are constantly on the rise, and there are more female senators and politicians every year. In nearly every single poll conducted in the US, over 80% of females said they would NOT vote for a female president.

So, to end this rant, no, men and women are NOT treated equally, but they ARE treated unequally equally. By that, I mean that we are prejudiced against for different things and by different groups that equally handicap us. So, in that sense, we are equal. Care to ask me how many government aid checks I get for being a white male in the 18-24 age bracket, despite me being under the poverty line? Zeeeeeero.

Answer 3

In most societies, women are still treated unfairly. Take these examples:
1. Household chores, especially when done by housewives, are not considered as labor and therefore not paid.
2. Authority figures in institutionalized religions are men.
3. Women, sometimes could not express themselves sexually.
4. Majority of people in power are men.
5. Most sex-oriented jokes berate women.

Answer 4

They are not....
1. Can you name a woman US president?
2. Can you name a woman pope? Or Woman head of religion?
3. Except in a few countries..the pay is different for men and women...
4. The percentage of women working in large corporations, and the percentage in top management...the glass ceiling exists...
5. Head of Armed forces..how many women so far?

Answer 5

Of course not! Partly because of the prejudices and other social traditions, partly because we are not equal physically. Examples:

1. (Prejudice) Women the same job earn less.
2. (Prejudice) The percentage of women is much smaller in leading positions.
3. (Social traditions) There are less male nurses.
4. (Physical inequality) There are less female soldiers.
5. (Physical inequality) More women stay at home with kids.

... etc.

Answer 6

Women are given points for gender on Civil Service exams.

Answer 7

no men holding higher position , men given the priority in any job interviews, men given the highest level of respect, men always act like a king, in some country men always give orders.

Answer 8

1) condi 2) Madeliene Albrite 3) Mrs. Gandhi (India) 4) Margaret Thatcher (UK) 5) Indra Nooyi. (CEO of Pepsi co.)

Answer 9

...we are equal...but when it comes to respect....we are not. Just like other minorities in society...a lot of stereotyping...a lot of doubt...a lot of jokes...just a lot of crap...

But...I do see it changing in the future as we head to a more intellectual/tech society and less of a physically driven one.

Answer 10
