The gender pay gap is 4% since 2019. Women earned $4.13 or (13.13%) less than men. The way that gap is calculated by finding the mean, which is adding up all employees’ wages, and dividing that total by the number of employees. My question is who is responsible for such calculations and is this the law? Does anyone find it fair or just because someone “man” decided to even pass such unreasonable laws? There will be always oppression if we do not see this as unethical, wrong, and a crime.

What I have learned in my experience in the workforce has been interesting to me in a few ways: one, because I realized no matter how hard you work, equal -or in most cases more dedicated, organized, and ethical compared to masculine fools! and will forever be seen as a vulnerable, imperfect, and frail lower-class individuals. I believe, no matter how hard women fight for equal pay rights as men starts with changes in government.

I also have a problem with the system of politic and women, strong, brave, passionate women who want to make a change, ends up having to conciliate and conform to her superiors/leaders with higher rank. Women work hard and endless hours to make a difference while trying to feed her family and come home with half a pay just for being a female. Moral ethics can be compromised in gender when you feel you threaten and can lead to strange behavior and mental illness when having to follow unethical acts just to keep a job.

All women, wives, mothers, and our daughters are and will continue to be under-paid, unappreciated, and overworked until this right becomes a law passed. The division in this country brings sorrow and pain and endless violence. Abraham Lincoln said,” A house divided against itself cannot stand”. This quote relates to slavery oppression, but I analysis, it can also relate to both genders being measured as an unequal human species.

  1. I really felt the passionate being that came out of you when you spoke about the inequality. I agree with you it is enraging that women should not be held in a double standard and then expect to work harder to cover the costs of living or feeding your children, “Moral ethics can be compromised in gender when you feel you threaten and can lead to strange behavior and mental illness when having to follow unethical acts just to keep a job.” This explains why so many people of color resort to have more than 1 job, developing sickness due to how overworked one is to make ends meet.
