Women do deserve complete
equality as men.
Women have been treated as less
then men from the beginning of
time. Now lots of women are
more successful than men and
are still getting paid less. The
difference in pay is a problem.
Would you pay a man lots of
money for a poor job? No. Then
why wouldn't you pay a woman a
little bit more for a great job?
They are going the opposite
way but they are paying less.
That makes no sense.

3 equality, yet most of them don't
Women are able to overcome this
gender barrier.
Women are able to achieve this
through the education of both
men and women about the
issues of gender equality. For
example, with education women
over the world are able to work
and enjoy the things that men
are able to do as they would
have a better understanding of
how to stand up for themselves
and succeed in life. Therefore,
there needs to be a further
emphasis on educated young
women and men about the
issues associated with gender
equality.

No it's not possible.
I personally believe that
equality between men and
women is not possible
because we are created in the
same ways , we are so
different in so many ways. We
don't see things in the same
ways, don't think like each
other and actually don't have
the same brain. And it's
correct like that

No TRUE Equality
Women say they want gender
realize what that would entail.
For true equality, yes they would
get to be treated equally in the
workplace, same pay, etc. But
they would have to give up their
"women's rights," in the name of
such equality. That means no
more chivalry, no more being
treated "like a lady," because you
can't be treated like you are
different and like you are an
equal. Though they are not
publicized the way the negatives
are, women have many benefits
that men can never attain, and
they do not want to sacrifice that.
