In our society and other societies around the world, why is that women are always getting treated differently compared to men in the working environment? Men get paid a little more while having less hour whereas, women work more hours and get pay less. Many jobs in our community can be unfair when it comes to paying their workers. For example, even though women and men work at the same job and do exactly the same thing, most of the time, men would get pay a little more than women. According to Sarah Leonard she stated that, “Women still work a double-day—wage and kitchen—and they get paid less for the part of their work that is actually compensated” (55).

Back in the 1900’s, women wasn’t allowed to work the same job as men because at the time women was considered weak and men didn’t think women can do what they did. According to Leonard she stated, “This is why universal, twenty-four hour child care was a primary demand of the 1970 Women’s Strike for Equality and must be a first step toward women’s freedom” (59). Even in our community today where women are allow to work with men, they often don’t get paid the same amount as men even though they do exactly the same thing at work. “Their work frequently goes unrecognized as “real” work specifically because it is the sort of work that is women’s “natural” lot” (55). A lot of the time, women’s hard work at their daily jobs goes unrecognized and a lot of times, women have to work a little harder to get their points across. In Leonard’s writing she stated that, “…CEO Marissa Mayer and former secretary of state and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton…they barely sleep, that their staffs struggle to match their work hours, that they’re become the rare female leaders in their spheres by laboring harder than male colleagues” (54). “…feminism, that utopian striving for equality that we’ve carried through centuries of opposition, is boiled down merely to the right to work ourselves to death” (54).

They don’t just give up when people judged or criticized them; they fight back and keep a positive attitude. “The “traditional” family—two undivorced heterosexual parents with biological or adopted children…” (58). Men and women have their own opinion and their way of working but that doesn’t mean that they should get treated slightly different at a workplace. Now days, it doesn’t really matter who the primary caregivers of the family is, it can be the husband or the wife or other family members. It’s as long as they are doing their job and supporting his or her family without having any kind of issue. The world can be an unfair place but it’s a place where everybody belongs to and everyone has to deal with the consequences. For this reason, women should continue being the primary caregivers because they do most of the nurturer and housework, they gone through many struggles to fight for their rights over the past few centuries, and they are hardworking moms and wives who put their families and career above
