Concerns Of Gender Inequality and Discrimination in Our Society I've found myself rather dumbfounded in the face of political and social reforms that continue to subject women to inequality and discrimination of rights, whether in the job, community, education, or rights over our bodies. Women are purposefully overlooked and denigrated because of our gender and how society chooses to depict what the boundaries between men and women ought to constitute and the various gender roles society believes we ought to be obligated unto. Our gender should not define what we are capable of doing, nor should it prevent us from exceeding or being equal matched to that of a man in society. Discrimination does not essentially end at the gender, but also due to a women's race and ethnicity. Ethnic inequality for women of color have caused for enduring of racial bias in the workplace, education system, population, healthcare, and society. Cross-cutting instructs us that gendered discrimination...

   Speak Up!       Women baring in silence to not seek out for social justice for the rights of gender equality and non-racial discriminatory acts, comes often out of fear, lack of confidence or self-esteem that change is inevitable. True reality would suggest that an individual embedded to their own cultures of a larger societal context that impact every girl and women differently on their social stand points, and it essentially being ignored (Iglesias & Cormier2002). The Women’s movement for gender and ethnic equality, speak not just out a singular voice, but for the voices of all women who's psychological well-being is affected by the unjust bereavement of social change. Our voices amplify even loud when silence is broken at the support of all women, even men, to speak on the ongoing disregard for women's right to be equally heard and treat equally in this male-domineering world. Bailey (n.d.) women describe being more fearful and having a reduced ca...

The Presence of Silence So why do women choose to be silent? Is silence a statement in its own self? Ayers-Nelson (2018) in reference to ( Ciulei , 2014) 'silence', like many conversational structure, can be indicated as a pause between words in classical text. With other indications that would suggest that is nothing that is being said at all. Silence is presented in various meanings such as noun and verb, to which there is the act of refrained speaking, and silencing someone or something. Cultural norms seemingly depict woman to uphold a certain standard, while also being subjected to lesser equal opportunity to man. Cultural norm would suggest that is preferred that a man speak boldly and loud rather than a women express and speak out on her concerns. As women, we amplify our voices as one, standing strong with our voices heard for the equality and rights of any and all feminist matters.
