Should Women Get Paid

Men get paid more than women even if they have the exact same job; however, if both do the job great and have the same education, then they should get paid the same. If someone is a woman, would she want to get paid less than a man, even though she does the exact same job and has the same education? Most women only get paid 77% of all of the money that men make (“Women”). This is a form of feminism. Feminism is when women get treated differently than men. In this case, it’s the difference between the amount of money they make, and how women who have children do not get paid the same as a woman who has no kids. The gap in wages is different for each ethnic group. For example, Latinas get paid 55% and African Americans get paid 64% of men (“Women”). In 10 years, the pay gap has not moved up very much at all. The older someone is, the less they get paid and the greater the pay gap is (Hill). It will take 44 more years or until 2058 for women to finally get paid as much as men (“Pay”). Jobs that are done mostly by women tend to pay

The average pay a week for a woman is $719 and for a man it is $871, that is $152 less than a man a week (Pay”). That could buy someone many groceries to feed their family’s. Over the past years the pay gap slowly lessened, but women always seem to never be able to pull through and get paid the same as men (Molla). If there is a woman and man both working for the same place doing the same job and the women has 3 kids and the man has no kids, the people that pays them would give the man more because he is not a woman. The women has 3 kids, thats 3 more people to feed than the man has to feed and take care of, but she still gets paid much less than the man because mothers get paid less than men and fathers. “Women continue to earn less than men do, even when they make the same choices in life”
