It is no lie that women are paid less money than men even though they're both doing the same job. Here in Canada, women can only paid the same amount of money as men if they're working for the government. If a women does not work for the government, she simply does not get the same salary as men even though she has the same qualifications required as men.
This is a big problem around the world and it bothers me very much. I don't like the fact that women are not paid the same amount of money simply because they are women. My opinion on this is that women deserve to be paid equally.
They need the money as much as anybody. I think that bosses give men a much higher salary than women, because they are the heads of their family and they need to support the family. Although this might be the case, there's a lot of single mothers out there that struggle to make a living. They sometimes work two jobs because one job simply cannot pay them enough money so they struggle with paying bills and can hardly stay under the roof. It is not fair that women have to go through this. They deserve to be paid equally because they work as hard as men. Gender shouldn't be defining how much money you get paid because it's wrong to be sexist. Women are as strong and qualified as men to do the work so they should also be worthy to receive the same amount of money as men. Work is not only for men, it's for women as well. Therefore, money should also be for both genders. A women is as capable as a men to supporting her family but she can only do so if she's paid equally. She also needs that money to pay the bills, buy food, and everything else. People should be paid by their works, not by their gender. Gender does not define how hard you can work or how qualified you are. Some women can work twice as hard as men but yet, they still get a lower salary than them. This is not fair and things need to change. We're all made equal.
