Women are men are equal but the world doesn't see it that way. I don't believe women belong at home but I feel like there are limits that make men unique and women unique. Women should get paid the same as men depending on certain jobs. Women are a little less dominant because there are men than women in the world. Men are also scientifically more stronger than women. According to the New York Times, there is not one country in the world that has been a leader of the country. Again, we aren't equal in everyone's eyes but we can change our views. We are humans that came from wherever we came from and everyone is created equal. According to "theconversation" a study found that on average, women preferred men who were 21 cm or more than their own height. That also leads on to the fact that most women like men that are tall, strong, muscular, and protective. Men, on average like shorter women. In conclusion women and men are CREATED equal but in the world we live in today, no one is equal because everyone has their uniqueness and abilities.

Is it fact that women actually like taller, stronger men? And is it because they need protection?

I do agree that both men and women do have uniqueness to a degree and will have jobs that they could specialize in better than the other but that doesn't mean that the other gender can't do that job.

While I agree with certain points in your argument, I do not agree with women being "a little less dominant." You stated that men and women should be equal but you're also saying that men are dominant which creates confusion. You stating that men and women are both unique in certain ways leads me to believe that this makes all genders equal due to their uniqueness.

In my opinion women are equal and should get the same opportunities as men but not more because that is making an unequal mix again. The whole idea that women are supposed to stay at home came from the caveman days. This leads to a stereotype later on in life when we start to get to where we are now. There are no boundaries between the two genders other than genetics and that is it. One source I found that goes with this is from https://www.catalyst.org/ and how they show the percent of each gender in the workforce. Women take up 46.9% of the workforce in 2018 and men take up 53.1%. This to me shows that the difference between men and women in the workforce is getting smaller and smaller based off of how in 2019 women then took up 47%, while men took up 53%. The workforce is where there should be no difference in who is better than the other and who should get paid more for a job. It is illegal to pay different amounts based off of the person working and that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen because it does. People may say that there is a pay gap and in my opinion there isn’t one. One source to help me try and prove my point is https://www.statista.com/. This website states that men take up 92.1%, while women take up a small percent of 7.9%. If you wonder what these percentages mean, it is the fatality rate of the workplace in 2018. Based off of this I state that men do more dangerous jobs which makes them get more money than women even if it is almost 50/50 in the workplace. I could have done better but this is my thoughts and if you get some evidence for your side, I Am willing to change my mind on this but now it isn’t changing.

I agree with your points. I like the statistics because i was unaware about a few of the facts. Women and men are equal in many ways and the difference in the workforce is starting to show that. I like that you agree about the equality between men and women.

There is definitely still a divide between men and women in the workplace and it should be resolved immediately. In some work fields, some women still get paid less. I personally do not think this is justified because the first amendment states that all men and women are created equal and I think everybody should abide by these rules. However, there are some jobs that are more masculine and some jobs that are more feminine but every human has free will. This doesn't mean that men can’t do more feminine jobs and that women can’t do more masculine jobs.

I think it's true that anyone can do what job they like. Since their is barely jobs that have a different requirement for females and males.

I think women are equal to men for many reasons. Women are capable of caring for their families, being motivated to complete tasks, and taking control. Women used to cook, clean, take care of children, arrange family events, shop for everything the family needs, and make their husbands happy. While women have shown to be capable of doing dozens of tasks per day, a man's job was only to go to work and provide financial means for the family. Women are very determined to provide a happy and living home so what better way than to go to work and help their husband provide for their family? There are tons of jobs that can schedule flexible hours so a mother could be home by the time her children get out of school. A man could do the same in order to come home and prepare dinner and clean the house a little bit. Women and men are both equally able to do the same things. All it takes is motivation. For a man to say a woman shouldn't be a mechanic is like a white woman saying the Hispanic lady interviewing for the same job doesn't deserve it because of her ethnicity.

I agree that women can do anything a man can if you try hard enough and it goes the other way too.

i think women are just as equal as men, because for years women had to fight for there rights as to having the jobs men have and have as much pay as the men have. The world we live in today, women are stronger then men women can do better jobs than men. When i was in a mechanics class i was fixing tires and changing them, i went under the hood changed the bolts and things i was more engaged in the job then the guys were. I did a better than the guys did and that's suppose to be a mans job, But once again a women can do a mans job just a much as man can. the bible also says" For as women was made from men, so men are now born of women. all things from god". that means that women was made from men so that means we can do just as much as they can do , we are equal to men in so many ways.

You can get a job as long as you went to school for it. You might just get paid less for it that's the problem.

I don't think women are necessarily superior to men, i just think that you might have a strength while some of the men in your class could have seen the job as a weakness. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses but that doesn't make either gender superior.

There is a stereotype that women are inferior to men and it has gone on for a very long time. The thought that women are only needed to provide a child and take care of that child and men are the stronger more superior to women. There the “dominant” humans which is not true. We have the ability to do everything men do. So why is this a thought? This thought started from the beginning of time. We are not just starting as a human race and we do things differently now. We don't need to hunt and gather. Therefore as our society grows so should our beliefs. The gender pay gap in the United States is the ratio of female-to-male median or average (depending on the source) yearly earnings among full-time, year-round workers. The average woman's adjusted annual salary has been cited as 81% to 82% of that of the average man's, According to https://www.payscale.com/data/gender-pay-gap. Yes we have gotten better and there are major improvements to how it was but theres still the thought in some peoples that we are not.

The reason that women are equal to men is because women have put away the belief of men being dominant by showing the world that they can do things men have been worshiped for. For years there has been an increase in the percentage of women in the labor force. Women have constantly break there limits and continue to push to the top just like men do.

Women and men are equal because in sports men are naturally stronger then women.

Women have the right to do the same thing as men. According to , Women are better today There have been changes for women in terms of employment in the past decades , with women moving into paid employment outside the home in ways that their grandmother and even their mothers could only dream of.

Transgender should be treated with respect the right as we do. According to , supporting the transgender people it says that they should be treated equal to others. You don't have to understand someone identity to respect it. You can't always tell if someone transgender simply by looking at them. There is no "RIGHT OR WRONG WAY" to be transgender.
