In the world we live in today I don’t think gender gaps are as prevalent as most people make it out to be. The other night during the presidential debate one of the candidates said, “She’d get equal pay for women even if they don’t do an equal amount of work.” This remark really aggravated me.

Why doesn’t he get a long time period off to spend with his significant other and newborn? If you look hard enough and cherry pick statistics you can make something out of nothing. To me we live in an equal opportunity country where women and men have the same equal rights. Gender gap isn’t a big issue to
