Interview with my mom
1. Do you think that the gender gap exists?
"Yes, in certain professions it does."
2. Should the pay gap be eliminated?
"I think everyone should be paid based on how well they perform at their job. If a man is doing a better job he should be paid more, and if a women does a better job she should be paid more; it should not be based on gender."
This poster from WWII as been shown everywhere for years, but has anyone thought about what Rosie the Riveter means today? Answer: the same thing. She still calls for women to enter the workforce, only now she also stands for asking for equality.Â
Context
Growing up, I was always told I could be whatever I wanted. Everyone I knew told me that, and I was surrounded by women who previously had their own careers before settling down to raise a family. Two different best friend's mom were a lawyers, and my mom worked as a government contractor who had also sailed in the America's Cup on the B team. So I never was told that girls couldn't do something as well as boys.
What occupations would lead to a gender gap because of the nature of the work being done all else equal? Would it still be fair to have to pay equal amount?
The business world tends to have some of the largest gaps, however if the gap is due to the work being something like construction, where men are more likely to be employed because of their strength, it is more about the quality of the work. Construction workers tend to be paid around $30,000 a year which is on the lower end of the pay scale. I believe if a woman is doing just as good of a job as a man, she deserves to be paid equally.

So last unit in class, we had to first write as many facts as possible about a person, real or imaginary and then we switched facts with another person and we had to write our research paper directed to that person. Now I'm not going to write what I wrote for that here, and I'm not going to give random facts about my brother, but I am going to talk about how that exercise impacts this blog. I wrote nothing about the pay gap or inequality in the work place, so I can't tie it in that way, but it is making me think about who I am writing to on this blog. I don't have a target audience and I know that my only followers are my classmates and they aren't going to read this because I know I wouldn't in their situation. So I hope that anyone not in English writing 112 reading this bears with me as I stumble through this attempt at tumbling.
Why should women be paid equal to men? Men have been in the working world a lot longer and deserve to be paid at a higher rate. Heck, I’m a working mom and I’m not paid a dime. I depend on my husband to provide for me and my family, as should most women… and if a woman does work, she should be happy just to be out there in the working world and quit complaining that she’s not making as much as her male counterparts. I mean really, all this wanting to be equal nonsense is going to be detrimental to the future of women everywhere. Who’s going to want to hire a woman, or for that matter, even marry a woman who thinks she is the same, if not better than a man at any job. It’s almost laughable. C’mon now ladies, are you with me on this?

Wow. I mean good for her for being proud of the fact that her job is being a mother and she doesn't get paid for it, but is it really that strange to believe that you are equal to your male coworkers? And why was marriage even mentioned in this?
Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg looks at why a smaller percentage of women than men reach the top of their professions -- and offers 3 powerful pieces of advice to women aiming for the C-suite.
This shows how barely any women make it to the top of any profession and how those who do have to choose between family and work.
I stumbled upon these oh so lovely images while browsing about my topic.  Investigating the source of the images led me to menarebetterthanwomen.com. I’m honestly shocked to see a website with this URL, making its intentions so clear. While I should’ve just closed the browser to stop this man’s stupidity and ignorance from entering my thoughts, I ventured onward for the sake of my research.
I learned so much from this website! It’s a good thing this man posted so many times about just how destructive women are in society, or else I never would’ve realized just how worthless I am! My favorite post addressed the dilemma of women owning their own property and how men can’t let us women forget that we are property. After all, we are just here for men right?
 It’s because of men like this that some woman feel they can’t measure up. It’s men like this who don’t respect women and view them as “property.” It’s men like this that overstep boundaries and are likely to violate and harass women.  If a man feels he has more power than women, what would stop him from taking advantage of her?   These are the men who believe cat calls are flattery for women. If anything, they are doing women a favor right?  We must convince these men that this is not okay. That in 2014 it should be well known that both men and woman are equal. That all people are equal. Â
I don't understand why people still think it's acceptable to place one gender above another. We are in the 21st century! This shows how the the thought that women are below men continues. It only takes one person to convince someone else and it will never end.
April 9, 2013 is Equal Pay Day, and it represents how far into 2013 women must work simply to earn what their male counterparts earned in 2012. Due to the…
Here's an infographic showing the pay gap over time. It also shows how the jobs that actually women more than men are the professions where there are way less women than men.
Ten key findings from a new Pew Research Center survey and analysis of Census data that explores the views, values and economic realities of women and men in the workplace.
The statistics in this article seem to show that women are at a disadvantage in the workplace, however the commentary after the statistics make it seem like women are complaining for no reason. Just because the pay gap has decreased doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
Just a comic I found comical and interesting—- women are very often seen as incompetent than men, and are treated differently simply because of the fact that they are women. This comic states that “a girl has to look her best,” which suggests that the only thing a women is good for is her looks— not her brain.

This perpetuates the thought that women are only worth their appearance as well as the idea that women work and go to college just to find a husband as seen in the Mr. "Wright." Â

All three of these blogs are about feminism and equality for women, but the first three are about generalized feminism. It is striking how many of their posts are about rape and rape culture. The last two are about the inequality in all fields of work. Womensfundnewsroom looks at the positive angle to show what women have accomplished while mnwomen brings to light all the little injustices women face.
So, my unsolicited advice to women in the workplace is this. When faced with sexism, or ageism, or lookism, or even really aggressive Buddhism, ask yourself the following question: “Is this person in between me and what I want to do?” If the answer is no, ignore it and move on. Your energy is better used doing your work and outpacing people that way. Then, when you’re in charge, don’t hire the people who were jerky to you.
