do women strive for equality or are women more than equal?

Answer 1

we are equal it just depends on how you use it

Answer 2

I have to agree with Baba Yaga here. Women do strive for equality.

Women are not more than equal. Society doesn't even see us a equal yet! Take a look at any commercial for cleaning supplies or kid's snacks (dawn soap, swiffer dusters, Viva paper towels, Ovaltine chocolate drink, Kraft macaroni and cheese, ect.) The voice overs are always women, and the actors are always women. This may not seem like a big deal, but it is. These commercials illustrate where we are in society today. Housework is still seen as women's work, and caring for the kids at home is still considered a woman's job.

I know this is only one example, but it is an example that permeates our culture. Women should keep striving for equality, because equal rights and equality are two different things.

Answer 3

I think women are still striving for equality in the work place, even though we do have more equality than we ever have.

I believe this is especially true if you work in an predominately male type of work setting such as I did, read on. The ratio between men and women was like 160 males, 1-8 women at any given time. Small ratio of women at this type of job. Jobs that people may think are more geared towards men. I worked at a prison where there were mostly men, women were always made to prove them selves as being worthy over and over again. I don't think a lot of people really realized that this was going on, but it was.

So in a work setting such as this yes, you find your self striving to prove your self to those persons who seems to want to challenge you. I noticed it from mostly coming from new Lieutenants that were transferring into our institution.

After a while I decided I didn't care what they thought and just ignored them and their behavior. I had too many years in to deal with their insecurities. I made Senior officer Specialist in less than two years of working at the prison. Most people do not move up that fast, so I knew that I was good and I didn't feel I had to prove any thing to any one. Most people are lucky if they make Senior officer Specialist in the first five to seven years of working there.

At the two year mark Lieutenants were asking me when I was going to put in to become a lieutenant. I liked what I was doing and I didn't want to be a paper pusher, I liked working in the trenches if you will.

When I retired I had gone as far in grade as any officer could go. Yes I could have been a, Lieutenant/Captain or even a Warden at a prison of my own. But it wasn't what I wanted so I stayed an officer, I like being able to make a difference where I could. Being a part of the solution not a part of the problem, I tried where I could to help people see their own self worth. Some times it worked and some times it didn't. But when I could reach a young person 18 years old and help them to see where their life was going and how bad it was going to be. When I could get then to see that their life wasn't over that they could make different choices and change what was happening to them, change it for the better. That made it worth having stayed working as an officer. It was challenging and rewarding, and more often than not disheartning.

Women strive to earn the same wages that a man is earning, when the woman is doing the same job as a man. That is called being treated fair, equal in the work place. So that a single mother can raise her child with dignity and give her child all that her child needs and deserves. Women are not looking for a hand out, they want to earn the same wage as any man when doing the same job. That is equality for the most part, but their are other aspects to it as well. But the main issue is equal pay, for the same job.

Answer 4

The answer to your question lies in the question itself. While women are more than equal in many developed countries / enviornments (urban - driven by education & power and evolved society); women - a majortiy population across the globe are still striving for basic rights and equality. It will take a decade or two, before a majority of women globally are treated with respect, as equals to their male counterparts. Even today, it might sound sad, but women are beaten by their husbands, abused by people they know, and denied of basic fundamental rights. Education, and only education, can empower them and help them fight it out. Its unfortunate, that the woman, who gives birth to a male child, is dominated by the very same male!

Answer 5

Neither. I believe women continue to remind our men that we ARE equal. Some of them agree but many remain ignorant or in denial! sorry guys but it seems true!
