Women Equality by JS

Have you ever been treated unfairly just because you’re a girl? 

Whether it’s how much you’re getting paid, to having little to no education, you probably have because around 43% of women are treated unfairly based on their gender, versus men, who are only treated this way 18% of the time Also, about 736 million women around the world experience either physical or sexual abuse. Women are supposedly “treated equally alongside men” but we all know we still have a big mountain to climb before that is true.

Adding to my point, women tend to be overqualified in their jobs. But a lot of times, women don’t apply for a job if they don’t meet all of their qualifications versus men who can apply if they meet only 60% of qualifications. So women are then forced to be a stay-at-home mom, which is fine, but then people can’t call them out for it because they can’t help it. What else are they supposed to do?

But when other women can’t apply for certain jobs, they start their own businesses (which is great! If you want to support women, definitely give women-owned businesses a try) and a study back in 2017 from American Express OPEN shows that women-owned businesses are growing over two times the national average in the past 20 years.

Plus, women score higher in leadership skills; and yet, lots of major CEO’s and CFO’s are men. Women were measured to be more capable in 84% of the skills measured. And we are super productive leaders! We work 10% harder than men in office, and even though both genders complete about 66% of tasks assigned to them, women go over the top with that and do even more because we are assigned 10% more work than men! And yet women still get mistreated for not being able to complete all work assigned, but neither can men, so don’t just blame women. And we are all human, so please treat everyone the same, whether they’re your family, or a complete stranger. Thank you for your time.
