Gender discrimination

There will always be some sort of gender discrimination in America. I could take on the 'we're all human with issues' stand, and say nobody's perfect and all. Or I could say the 'life's not fair' line and say men have it bad in their own way. There are biased people everywhere: co-workers, classmates, family members, or friends. Some people don't like same sex marriages, or a certain religion, and others don't like females. Yeah, it does go beyond that, to the point where it damages paychecks and prides. When that happens, the individual can contest it, if they notice it in time. The lady who couldn't file a gender discrimination claim because she was too late missed out on a lot, because she didn't realize she was getting ripped off. People should realize gender discrimination will never go away, and the only thing anyone can do it be aware of when it's happening.

I definitely agree! People should realize that discrimination will always exist. And in a competing world, one must do what they can despite discrimination. There is always ways to fight it and/or lessen the damage.

You make a very valid point. I would take it a step farther and say that it is the responsibility of those of us with access to education to be informed and to help inform those out there who have not had the same opportunities.
