Do You Think Women Deserve To Be Paid As Much As Men?

The same as men? Women are nowhere close to equal to men. Men can do way more than women will ever be able to do. Women can barely keep up with men at work. So why should they be paid just as much? Most women just get pregnant and leave anyways. they'll go on maternity leave just to come back and quit so they can take care of their child full time. But if they don’t quit, they tend to call off of work a lot more if their kids get sick. Women are inferior to men and always will be. They care too much about personal issues. Things such as family, friends, and love are priority to them over work.  

Men can get a lot more work done than women can. Men are far more intelligent and get things done a lot quicker. They don't take as much time to do simple tasks either. Men also tend to put in more hours at work so they should naturally be paid more per hour because of how much they can get done while they're there.  

Men are usually the main source of income in households. Women are good for cooking, cleaning, and taking care of kids. Hormones are also a big deal in careers too. Women can get extremely moody when it's "that time of the month", and then they don’t want to work and men don’t want to deal with the bickering. 

 But the important hormone is testosterone. Men have lots of testosterone which will easily power strong drives for achievement. A focused main full of testosterone will be able to get a lot done. Men will easily accept dangerous or dirty jobs. While women, typically, will not. Women don't like getting down and dirty on a regular basis. So why should women be paid the same as men when their jobs aren't nearly as dangerous? Men should and always will be ahead of women. So no, I don’t think women deserve to be paid as much as men. 

Beneatha from "A Raisin In The Sun" POV

Do you think women deserve to be paid as much as men?

Women are no less than men. So even the idea that women should be paid less than men is outrageous. More often than not, a man with the same job and experience as a woman will be paid more. Yet the only big differences between men and women are hormones and body parts. 

Employers also think that all women will eventually take more time off if they become pregnant. But, not every women plan on having children. Even if they do decide to have children and start a family, that doesn't mean that they will quit later on to take care of their kids.  

It is wrong to think that all women will make the same decisions regarding work and family life. Every single woman is in a different situation from the next and will make different decisions. So why are employers lowering the pay of all women when they're all obviously doing different things with their lives? But if you asked them "Why?" they probably wouldn't have a solid, straight-forward answer. 

I feel like employees should be paid by the work they do. Your gender should not define how much work you can get done or how much you should get paid. What you complete while you're working is what you should get paid for. The fact that a gender determines how much you get paid is sickening. We don't have control over what gender we are born of. Women shouldn't be punished because they don’t have the same body parts and hormones as men. I believe that often, women work twice as hard as men because they feel like they need to prove themselves to male colleagues and employers. Men and women should be equal in every way possible. Women are not inferior to men and society should not be making us feel like we are. 

So yes, I do feel that women should be paid just as much as men.
