Gender inequality

Gender inequality is an issue which many people view as very serious. This means that females and males are not seen as equal, and for the majority of times men are seen as superior to women. An example can be seen in jobs nowadays. For the same amount of work and for some reason, statistics show that men earn more money than women. In addition, women are still seen as people who just work in homes. People think that their life should just consist of taking care of the children and cooking. This would be true if we were living 200 years ago when society was extremely patriarchal. But now this is nothing more than a big fat stereotype. I mean we are in the 21st century for Christ's sake and we still have this closed minded perception of females. Women have proved to be as "powerful" as men, as many of them are now great business leaders, entrepreneurs, etc. Some examples are Angela Merkel which is the German chancellor and Hilary Clinton who actually won the US presidency in vote numbers. Another issue is that we make women live in a world where they all need to have extremely fit bodies, and on the other hand men do not. I find this really unfair to females because not everyone has to have a model physique. This issue has to be resolved as quickly as possible so we can finally close this chapter in history, and women are men are finally seen as equal.
