My comments on the women in the workplace show
Hi there, face here
Last week we did a show on women in the workplace. I find the topic interesting because I used to be on another talk show as a panelist and we spoke about female power and being equal. One panelist said that women should be equal and they should work and have careers and all that jazz. On her rant she was basically saying how old school and chauvinistic it was for women to be at home as a housewife was.
I think women should have the ability to become equals in the workforce. There was a recent episode of Glee (this past Tuesday) about the difference between how men and women were treated. One character said women make .60 cents for every dollar a man makes. Yes that is unfair, and yes it should be changed. I also believe that women should be treated fairly. If she was hired to do a job, let her do it….don’t think women need special help or whatever. It pisses me off that some people still believe that women belong in the kitchen making sandwiches. Yeah some of my friends joke about that, it’s all good. But to really think that should be true in today’s standards? It’s bullshit.
On the other hand some women choose to make their career being a housewife and I have no problem with that. My mom was one till me and my sister were old enough to take care of ourselves before she went to work. Some of my friend’s moms are housewives. It’s a tough and busy job. One that I think some people (cough, cough that one panelist who was a bitch cough, cough) don’t realize it.
The end all be all of my opinion is that women deserve to be equal. There were 3 feminist movements to gain and work towards gender equality. We may not have fully achieved it but one day it will happen and it is deserved. Sorry if this ranting was not fully organized. But these are my opinions on that episode of Bad Girl Radio.
