I agree so there is some separation there but because women also can't be viewed as too masculine, then they don't get those jobs so distribution of jobs ends up fairly even.

Also colleges take a liking a richer people because then they don't have to offer scholarships since the people can pay for themselves. Thus he rich get better education creating a bigger gap.

What if men were the superior gender? Why should they get more pay though? Just because they have more to offer doesn't mean that they should get more benefits. I believe that everyone should be equal because although we have less to offer in some categories, in other categories we excel.

That's very true, colleges can be selfish. I agree with what you are saying now.

I agree that men and women are not equal in the job field but, what else makes them unequal?

3 points

I really like how you pointed this out. We really need to acknowledge that although we may have it good, there are still lots of people suffering. The US may be a leading country, but there are still some people in poverty.

In general, women are treated differently from men. Although it does sometimes happen, men aren't mistreated as often as women. Whereas women are victims from a lot of men taking advantage of them. An estimated 1 in 4 women have been victims of sexual assault but only 1 in 6 men have been victims.

That is not as much of trash as being mistreated or used like things instead of people.

1 point

I don't think that these stereotypes are necessary at all. Just because one person is a little different from you doesn't mean that they should get treated differently for it and I think if we tried to make that clear, then maybe the class system stereotypes would go away.

I agree with you and that was what I meant to say so thanks for clarifying for me.

I agree with when you say that people coming from rich families get more money, but I believe that there are some programs where the poor can get scholarships to college. What makes them at such a disadvantage in terms of college when compared to the rich students?

3 points

I agree with most of your argument, but I would say that it is a little too far to say that women are "treated like trash." Although we are not all treated the same, women aren't treated like trash.

What is your evidence towards believing there is a class system? You say that there is one and you give examples as to how to fix it, but you don't back it up with evidence that there even is a class system.

3 points

Also, if they weren't social classes, then how would we get the stereotypes of a dirty homeless man or a snobby rich man? They wouldn't exist unless there was a form of separation as to how we are grouped.

3 points

I totally understand what you mean by being grouped by different traits and I agree.

Another place there is a flaw in equality is in the sports field. It is always big news when a men's sports team wins, but women are hardly ever congratulated if they get a win for their team. No matter who is playing, women or men, if they are your sports team, they should be congratulated for it.

I totally agree! Women are always passed up or jobs because they are seen as weaker and inferior to men.

The United States has a class system for sure. Although we have come a long way from being discriminating, there is still some evidence to the segregation between different classes of people. They make these classes based on wealth and education among other things. Even scientists agree there is some evidence to these classes.

Everyone says that men are physically stronger, thus, women are already set up for discrimination and unequal opportunities. Because of women's lack of strength, they don't get some of the jobs, like a construction worker, that men can easily get. A lot of the time women are passed up because they are quieter and have more internal control which presents them, again, as weak and incapable.
