Are males and females treated equally today?

Question

i am going to have this debate and the question's the motive. pls help! give your opinions, and also give the explanation/points. thank you in advance!!

Answer 1

In America, women still make 76 cents for every dollar a man makes. So females still not treated fairly economically.

When a woman has a baby without benefit if marriage, it is automatically assumed by society that she is the one to take care of the child, while the husband simply contributes money for his child's upkeep. This is the norm and totally acceptable in America.

'

What's not acceptable is for the woman to decide that the man should keep the child while she contributes money for her child's upkeep. Such a woman is shunned in our society. She is all but stoned for her decision.

Young girls who get pregnant still have to carry the blame and the consequences. While the young men who impregnate the young girls go about their lives unpunished and not learning a thing from the experience.

Teenage girls and young women are completely sexualized by our society. They have unhealthy expectations placed on them. For example, they are suppose to be almost anorexic and have large breast at the same time. Meanwhile, no such stress is placed on young boys. (Old Calvin Klein ads don't count.)

Women are not valued for their knowledge or personality the way men are. This is a bad time for a young girl to be growing up in America. Without a doubt, a female's body image has never been so important.

The list goes on forever. Hope this helps you a bit in your debate.

Answer 2

they are not, and they shouldnt be. not because I think men are better than woman but because they simply are very different.

it is obviously completely subjective to the situation and individuals but science will tell you that men are not just different physically but also mentally. men are naturally intended to be providers where as women are naturally the nurturers.

so although men and women are impacted very similarly in the view of todays world, they still have the instincts in their subconceous (nature vs nurture).

Answer 3

yeah, as long as everyone can show their willie

Answer 4

No, they are not. Women are gaining ground in respect and salary, but they are not treated as equals generally.

Answer 5

In regards to equality in relationships, in Ireland, i don't think men and women are treated equally towards one another. But rather, the old and "traditional roles of men and woman"  have actually been reversed. It's not an equal union or partnership nowdays, the woman is the new head of the house-hold, has the last say in matters, and seem to dictate what her man can and cant do. Obviously one cant generalise every Irish woman as being a new-age alpha-female dictator, and correct me if i am wrong, but this is what it seems as a foreign nation living in Ireland.

Answer 6

No. People are treated better because of looks, body, name, income, status, and where they were educated at.

Some people strive for special treatment. A man can apply for the same job with better qualifications than the man that is a friend of the company and the more qualified one will not get the job.

A convicted felon can get job priority over a combat veteran.

A woman with a low cut shirt and a tiny skirt will get job priority over the man or woman that is qualified.

Another person can makes threats and play the race card and get the job faster than the person making the real effort.

Most women want to be treated equal. I admire that a lot. What I find weak is the women that see equality as a mere convenience and use the gender card to ascertain their goals.

Answer 7

Up until recently, I think I would have said, generally yes. But sadly I worked somewhere last year where all my colleagues were men (which I have done before and have no problem with) and they did not behave in a very inclusive way towards me. In fact, one of them was downright offensive, lying to me maliciously and making it difficult for me to do my job. At first I thought they just did not like me personally, but eventually I worked out that they had very fixed and restrictive ideas of how women are supposed to behave, and I did not conform to them.
