This event was very interesting and opened my mind to a number of different perspectives. However one thing I have yet to forget about that event is when one person said (roughly reiterated), 'women do not deserve the same rights men do because they have the potential to get pregnant.'
Why is that? Why is our ability to bear children considered a hinderance to the work place? Why is it that since we are able to do something men cannot, we must suffer degradation and sexism?
No...This viewpoint is unbeneficial to our society and the world as a whole. First of all, this can either motivate women to perform better in a response as competition in the workplace, or ruin women's incentive altogether. Thus, benefitting or destroying the workplace. There must be equal rights in the workplace, and salaries and things of that sort must be judged accordingly. Salaries cannot be gender based, race based...salaries must be based on experience and skill.
