AG Q4

Women today are more often treated by men as equals rather than objects.

I would have to disagree to this statement. This is because even though on the positive side of things, women do get more respect than in the early 1900s, but in media, not so much. Women, celebrities especially, aren’t really respected, or don’t portray themselves in a respectful manner. Yes, there are well-known women such as Oprah Winfrey or Ellen DeGeneres that actually do good for others and themselves, but that typically doesn’t get the limelight. It’s typically the newest love story that makes the headlines of the media.

It isn’t just celebrities either. Women are supposed to be a fair equal in society, but yet, they don’t even get paid as equal as men. If women are as equal as men, why can’t they even be paid the same? I mean, women have to get paid too, and it should be no different than the men. I think this sort of goes back to the idea of men are supposed to do all of the work while the women stay home. Even though society has improved the fairness between men and women, I find that the US hasn’t really gotten rid of sexism. It has just been hushed. Once again, it is getting better, it’s just not as abolished as everyone portrays it to be. Do you think that women are equal in society now? Or is it just less of an issue?
