Value?

Overall, this whole issue of the double standards between men and women all come down to the value we believe each gender has. We treat others by how we believe they should be treated right? Meaning value, plays a huge role in how we treat others. We treat are most valued possessions with great respect, and what means nothing to us not so great. In society, women and men are valued in unfair ways. To think that women only make seventy-six cents of every dollar a man makes is quite astonishing. As referred to in  the article,  "Double Standards Are Just Earnings for Male and Female Workers", Guillermina Jasso argues that management positions are only viewed as high as the glass ceiling for women. Basically meaning folks, that women can only dream of management positions being ( the glass ceiling) but are stuck in the sticky floor meaning regular employee positions. How unfair is this? I mean 76% of every dollar? As I just mentioned it all sums up to how much value is put in each gender in society. Beyond the issue of gender in the workplace, your potential to be a qualified recipient for a job is even sometimes based on your ethnic background and appearance. Shouldn't qualifications for a job be based on your experience, educational background and  good references by your prior jobs? Women are valued as if they cannot do a man's job most of the time but sometimes men are a laughing stock if they get into a field that mostly made up of women. Example: Nursing, is said to be a woman's job and when a man joins the field they assume he cannot do a woman's job. Same goes for women, they can do this they cant do that, their too weak for this job to sentimental for that job. People lets ingrain: value, value, value into each others mind! We all are capable of doing any job and work we wish to, despite our gender! A man can do a woman's job, a woman can do a man's job simple as that. Wage gaps are ridiculous, the value of our work should determine how much we should be paid oppose to if were a man or a woman.
