Over the years, the differences between men and women have been slightly blurred around the edges. Men aren’t the only ones bringing him the bacon anymore, and women aren’t the only ones cooking it. Yes, there are the obvious differences, like anatomy, but what is really the difference? Personally, it’s the roles that each gender plays in society. Like I said, men aren’t the only ones in the workplace anymore. Women work just as hard at the same tasks men do, but they don’t receive the same credit for it. Men do the same things that women do, but they get the same, if not MORE credit than women do. Cooking, for example. Women slave over a hot stove all day for their husbands and kids and what do they get? A sink full of dirty dishes and complaints because something else wasn’t finished. Men do the same thing and what do they get? “Well done, honey! You go relax while I do the dishes and laundry.” Men have been treated this way throughout history! They need the pat on the back so that they don’t feel inferior and so that their ego isn’t hurt. We women don’t need it, but it would be nice to get it every once in a while! We women get no thanks for the hard work that we do. We finish one thing and have to rush off to do something else. Women in the workplace have to work twice as hard so that they can get less recognition than a man who does half the work. The old saying “behind every good man is a good woman” is BULL. Every man has a woman behind him doing his job for him while he goes out and takes all her credit. He just makes the appearances. Half the time, men don’t do SQUAT. They just sit there and enjoy the ride while women work their asses off for NO gain. It is disgusting how women’s status in society, while seemingly has improved, hasn’t really gone anywhere. Women are considered the weaker sex. In my opinion, we are the stronger sex and just aren’t given credit for all the crap we go through to make a man’s world run smoothly. We work twice as hard as any man does, we do eight times the work, and only get one-fourth of the credit that we really deserve. In a way, I guess, our position has improved, but there is still a long way to go before we are even close to equal. Men say we are equal because we hold the same kind of jobs as they do. The day men and women are equal is the day we get paid equally, we get recognized for our work equally, and the day we are truly equal in everything, not just the jobs we do will be the greatest day on earth.
