Cause and examples of gender inequality
- What is the cause of gender inequality?
You just have to look back and see how our history has told over the years the role of women in the development of the human species … women have made them invisible, violence was included and admitted in the manner ofinteraction with them (in many occasions "jokes" as reflected in the video), this has made this type of relationship normalize and society tolerate it as something everyday. The male is in a socially recognized superiority relationship. The patriarchy ensures a system of "pacts" between men in hegemony over women.
The social structure of the patriarchy includes the division and acceptance of roles in which the man adopts the situation of power, control, reason … and the woman stays with dependence, submission, home and private environment. The social life has been divided in two ways to publish it with the prevalence of man and the private with the figure of women in the shadow … men and women socialize throughout our lives and reproduce the system of male domination (in which in whichvery sadly I must include myself)
Patriarchy has been responsible for making it clear that the woman is always inferior to the man and the attitude of this has to be submission. When we perpetuate in time the allocation of roles in minors, or certain beliefs in which women are "worse" in science, or the media do not strive to use inclusive languages, or invisible the inequalities of work, the onlyWe get to look the other way is to accept that these behaviors last as normal ..
- Why do we still live in a macho society?
Because men are interested, cling and continually strive to preserve that advantageous position that by the simple fact of being men society attributes. For the simple fact of being born male, society already gives you certain advantages and certain “benefits”, you will charge more for the same job, you will not give up your career for your family, you are less likely to be raped, insulted, veiledor judged by your clothing or your physical appearance … and a long etc. All this implies a much more accommodated situation in society and detach requires effort and sacrifice that not everyone is willing to perform. Androcentric selfishness.
- Why is it important to address gender inequalities?
Because to have a really equitable, balanced and fair society, all its members must have the same development opportunities. social justice. Having women who suffer inequality weakens us as a society and also to our economy, since these people automatically exclude these people as potential creators of wealth for the country. Inequality is a great obstacle to reducing the poverty of a country and poverty leads to inequality … and thus a vicious circle that feeds up.
- Could you give an example of similar cases that involve inequality by gender?
- Forced marriages
- The school uniforms (which, by the way, "replace" me), we put the boys and the girls skirt. Skirts that are obviously much less "practical" for school life where boys run, jump and play, and girls have to be "pending" that the skirt stays in place if they do not want to suffer the teasing of classmates ifHe sees in some time the underwear.
- Ear slopes in baby.
- The maternity casualties (it is true that in that we are having enough changes)
- Access to management positions and senior positions
- What measures should be carried out to fight inequalities?
I think that the visibility of the problem is very important, if it is not seen "there is no" campaigns that show that inequality is a reality and that surrounds us and invades in our day to day.
I consider the first fundamental pillar in the fight against education the investment by states in education, specifically in coeducation. An education that is based on values of respect, the non -use of violence or discrimination to resolve conflicts and equality. Encourage and encourage young women to study fields traditionally dominated by men such as science or engineering and demonstrate that they are equally valid for these professions
That there is parity in the representation of governments and in the high positions, same number of women than men. The importance of no woman having to give up her career to have a family, a good conciliation system, where the responsibilities are distributed between both parents and I believe that the State has to "put" with inclusive legislation, laws that protectReally to women, to promote equality and to ensure real equality, not just on paper.
