Men and Women

I think that everyday men and women are becoming more equal. And looking back in history the improvements made to level out everything between the two genders has come extremely far. Although some things that are still no equal do not seem to be fair there is some reasoning behind it. Like the fact that men and women who have the same qualifications for a job and the man gets it, it doesn't seem fair. But if the women is hired she might become pregnant and have to leave for a long period of time but the man doesn't have to worry about that. But I think the fact that men are paid more than women for the same jobs is unfair because there's no reason for that to be happening. I think that men and women are very close to being equal but there is always going to be the stereotype and everything that men are better than women. I don't think that we need the ERA because then it would change many things that have been working for a countless number of years. Also this would dramatically effect society but I don't think it would work immediately, it would take a while to work. Just like the civil rights laws took some time to start going into effect. Overall I think that men and women are almost equal.
