According to Margie Warrel, “Much more needs to be done to make men more aware of where

unconscious bias hurts women, and to stamp out misogyny wherever it exists” (Warrell 1). This

quote, which appears in the Forbes Magazine, explain a great amount of work needed to be done

to make men realize their bias are hurting women and they have to get rid of prejudice against

women wherever it exists. If it weren’t for feminism, many women wouldn’t have equal political,

economic, personal, and social rights as men.Women have more rights than ever before in the

past however, some people disagree with the feminist movement. For example, they believe men

and women are equal in the U.S. however, “women occupy at least 33% of those seats” …show more content…
Despite some people’s counterarguments, I still believe men and women

aren’t equal in the U.S. by showing maternity leave,men wrestle less with the trade-off of both

career and parenthood than women, and women make formidable leader.

Many places haven’t adapted their policies and systems to support women. According to Margie

Warrell, “many workplaces are yet to support women who need flexibility” (Warrel 2). As stated

by the author, many organizations today are focusing on supporting women who need to tend to

the needs of their family while working at their workplaces but there are also workplaces who

hasn’t been able to support women. “Only twelve percent of women are granted paid leave by

their employers.”(Kirkland A. 2015, February 6). There isn’t any law guarantee new mothers

receive paid maternity leave so only twelve percent of women gets paid leave. Many employers

fired workers after learned they are pregnant. Eventually, lack of flexibility means a lack of

childcare. Many women who have children have to decide whether or not to stay home and take

care the children.But it’s fine for men to stay home when their kids get sick, organize events …show more content…
“It’s fair to argue women will be more successful

at work when men are socially more supported…” (Warrell 2).

Men wrestle less with the trade-off of both career and parenthood than women. According to

Warrell, “The struggle many modern women have is reconciling ourselves with the trade-offs of

our choices…” (Warrell 1). If women spend 50 hours working and that’s 50 hours they aren’t

spending somewhere else because there are trade-off with every choice they made. But men

wrestle less with the the trade-off of both job and children because they have more freedom than

women. “Mothers in 2011 spend almost twice as much time with their children as fathers do (13.5

hours a week)” (Pompa F. 2013 March 4). The average time mothers spend with their children in

2011 were 13.5 hours per week but the average time fathers spend with their children were 7.3

hours per week. And the term “fathers-guilt” was there for a reason.

Women make formidable leader in our world today. In today’s society, women “have a vital role

to play in tackling the biggest challenges facing our world today” (Warrell 2). Many women today

have the skills to gain recognition, earn salary, and enjoy “the equality of opportunity
