You see gender equality or equity; it's one topic I don't like discussing due to how controversial it's been. The last time I did that with a group of guys and ladies, the argument got heated up, and I gave up. So I am just going to say simple things concerning the topic of discussion as the prompt demands.
Firstly, we are all created equally, and it just makes more sense that everyone receives fair treatment regardless of our genders. We have heard people say that women are the weaker vessels while men are created to be so much stronger. That's right, but hellooo, can everyone just be given their due? Back in those days, many decades ago, only our men went out to work and bring food to the table, while women stayed back at home as homemakers, looking after the kids and taking care of their husbands. There was still a time that sensitive roles weren't given to women, but those eras are changing.
However, when it comes to gender equity, it's about being fair in how we treat everyone, finding balance without allowing anyone to suffer because of their gender. Over the years, the society had talked more on women and how we should be considered first, given top priorities in certain situations because we are weaker vessels, and this has made most men suffer at some points because they answer the name "man."
Men shouldn't suffer for being men; it's fair to find a balance in today's society. You will enter public transport sometimes, and they say, "He is a man; he can stand while the lady sits down." Excuse me, that man is also a human that craves comfort.
Let's talk about marriage. What if I earn much more than my husband monthly, but because he is the head, I will simply fold my hands and allow him to foot the whole family bill because he is the man of the house? Just let there be fairness. We can do this; it doesn't matter the label we bear, whether man or woman. A man shouldn't also allow his wife to overwork herself with chores because she is the woman and should oversee things at home while you press your phone non stop during your free time . Our gender doesn't define the kind of work we should do; it is fair enough that we create a balance. We are all humans that can do things equally.
How about some firms underpaying my gender because they are women while they do the same job? I personally find this weird, because I have practically experienced this in the past, and when I discovered that the same guy I work with earns #10,000 more than me, I didn't hesitate to approach the director of the firm to fix the cheating that year. Just let there be fairness regardless of one's gender, and everyone will thrive happily.
Finally, let's go for a balanced world, support each other, and everyone becomes a winner.
