"You can’t state difference and also state equality. We have to state sameness to understand equality." I am going to state my stand about Gender Inequality. Like others, a social problem that is widespread in other countries like US, India and Africa is Gender inequality. It is important to understand what gender inequality is in order to identify and correct the problem.

Gender inequality, in my definition, is the unequal and biased treatment between the two sexes. I strongly believe that the unequal treatment of women is something that should have stayed in primitive times. We are in the present now and we are far more advanced than we ever were and yet we are old school in our thinking of how men and women should be treated. For many centuries, men have been the dominant gender and women have been the minority. Men were the "breadwinners” and women just stayed home and took care of the housework and children. Women also did not have any rights. Their husbands could abuse then and get away with it. Fortunately, over a period of time, things have slowly changed. However, this is still a very serious and extensive problem. Women are still at the bottom of the chain. Some believes that a woman's role as a mother and wife are devalued by society and deny access to highly respected public opportunities. There is an old saying that I can apply to gender inequality; "This is a man's world”, No matter how much one argues, that statement is still true. Women have always been a step behind men because society has not accepted that women are just as capable as men. Knowing this to be a fact, it’s hard to accept that society can be so insensitive to women. Even in this sophisticated world that we live in, we can see gender inequality plays an active role found in the family and in the workplace.

Man and woman should be one because this is stated in the Bible. No man can separate what God has said or did. Man and woman should be fair, loving, caring and understanding to each other. Their foundation is very important when the time they have their own family comes. Together, let us make a stand to stop abusing the rights and capabilities of a woman.

"It is time that we all see gender as a spectrum instead of two sets of opposing ideals." - Emma Watson
