Female genital cutting

that of the education system as a whole. First off, at the engineering department faculty level, female faculty are extremely underrepresented. The ratio of male to female professors and lecturers is one of the lowest compared to other departments. Even at top engineering schools such as Oxford University, which is ranked as the number seven engineering school in the world, there are only seven female members in the department as within its ninety-one person faculty (Wynne).

Most recently, through the fashion industry and the entertainment industry, society has further increased the guidelines. For example, a recent pattern in clothing set by various shopping locations and advertising, dictates that females wear small shorts and shirts that cover little of their bodies.

My hypothesis is that men and women, although should be treated equally, ultimately in the end are not. Women continue to face many different types of obstacles like stereotyping, equality, bullying and the constant conflict of trying to prove that you as a woman can do the job just as well as men.
