The Believing Game: Should Equality be Universal?

Equality for Everyone

Equality has been an ongoing discussion and debate between men and women for many decades. For women, it has been a never ending fight for equality and respect in the workplace and in society.  On the other hand, not only men but other anti-suffragists argue that women have already achieved equality or that they are not fit to be compared to men. So my question to you is, should equality be universal and granted to everyone?  Let me know in the comments below.

Fight for Women's Rights

Women have been fighting for equal rights non-stop.  So why hasn't equality been granted? Every women is capable and should be able to pursue their dream, whether it be labeled as "women's work" or especially "men's work". Women should be able to feel and be granted the respect and fairness they deserve.

Women have always been viewed and portrayed as less than men in any and every possible aspect. Women have had to fight for their rights whereas for men, their rights were already set in place. It has been an ongoing struggle for women to gain the respect and equality that they deserve for quite some time. I for one, am a person that sees and believes in putting an end to the discrimination that is and has been occurring between men and women. There are many differences between men and women, including physical appearance, however, men and women do not have to be similar in physicality to have the right to equality. Any woman is capable of doing anything that she sets her mind to, even if that specific action is viewed or classified as a “man's job” or “man’s work”. Suppose that a woman was hired for a job that is meant for a “man”, she is typically paid less and viewed less than all other employees. By paying women less, it makes it more difficult for them to take care and support their family. Especially if the women is a single parent who wants her child or children to succeed and prevail. Paying women the bare minimum not only hurts her, but it also has a direct impact on the individuals that she is trying to support, particularly her kids. That is why I believe that women and men should be viewed and treated as equal.

Already Achieved Equality

In the eyes of many, women have already achieved equality when they were granted the right to vote and to obtain a job outside of the household. So why are women still fighting for equality when they have already been permitted such rights? 

Women have been fighting for equal rights for a considerable amount of time, however, they don’t want to be treated like men, so why are they pushing for equality? Women and men are classified into two totally different groups, therefore, reaching equality is impossible. Men are the strong and dominant species, whereas women are emotional and weak. Men are within a sphere of strength, power and parliament and women are meant to care for children and take care of “wifely duties”. I believe that women are unfit for direct competition with men due to the fact that they are physically smaller and weaker, and that they possess too much emotion that could interfere with work. In fact, women are not capable to hold a position in politics because they are too passionate to make a political decision. Also, within the political field, women are not capable of contributing force and dominance to carry out a form of action. On the other hand, women don’t need individual representation because they are already represented by their husband, which is someone they should rely heavily on. A women’s salary should not be comparable to that of a man’s due to the fact that women are incapable of doing a “man's” job, so why should they be paid just as much as a man. All in all, women do not need equal rights because they are not the same as men in any aspect and that they should be dependent upon their husband.
