Do men and women have equality in
society? Although women have made great progress on the social and power
ladder, realistically the answer is still no—at least when it comes to the work
place. In an article in Yahoo News, it has been said that top ranked companies
sometimes do not portray such inequalities since their policies and several
different aspects are questioned under a spotlight. But this is not the case
with “mid-cap companies” who don’t have many to respond to about who they hire.
Yes, women aren’t filling as many executive positions as men are; but, on the bright
side women’s pay is slowly creeping up to that of the men’s.
This article backs up the proof
that our society consists of a dual labor market; the males in society are
those that some if not most companies either currently have them labeled as or
have had them labeled as “preferred workers” in the past. This issue with sexism
has been seen throughout our society over past years; women have fought hard so
that we can achieve statuses that give us power that other women did not have
in the past. Being a past and current problem in societal equality, I see women
gaining complete (or as close to completely possible) equality to men in times
to come.
