Although the rights of women have improved immensely since its original Suffrage Act, a massive issue regarding the predisposed disadvantage that women are given just because of their gender is still prevalent. The amount of opportunities and avenues available to women has expanded but still proves to have a “glass ceiling”. Ellen Futter, president of the American Museum of Natural History and former president of Barnard College in New York City, said [“Currently, young women have the chance to pursue jobs and careers in all fields, yet they remain restricted to training and entry level.”] In 2010, Women were found to be either sole, primary or co-breadwinner in six out of ten American families, a fact that exposes a major issue with the wage gap between men and women. Former Vermont Governor and Deputy Secretary of Education Madeleine Kunin said, “We’ve made tremendous progress…but the earning power of women is still considerably lower than that of men.” This state of imbalance has fueled feminists and liberals’ minds alike to fight for a solution. The battle has been going on since 1920 but even nearly a century later a common ground has not been established. According to the American Progress Report, “Women earn on average seventy-seven cents for every dollar earned by men”. Women are excessively populated in the lowest-paying jobs such as clerical/ secretarial or labor and lack representation in higher-ranking professions. In the educational sector, “women are a minority in terms of faculty rank, salary, prestige, and status are men.” In efforts to resolute the epidemic of inequality on April 8, 2014, otherwise, known as Equal Pay Day, President Obama signed two executive orders: [One of which “Prohibits federal service providers from penalizing employees for sharing their salary information with co-workers”. The other directed the Labor Department to create new regulations that require federal contractors to report salary data, including gender and race breakdowns to the agency.] All which sound promising however according to the Panam Post and several other journals, this was heavily frowned upon because it “does more harm than good.” Consequences included bad labor market regulations and for some places, hostility in the workplace. Unfortunately, there were many holes in this deal one of which being the age requirement for this deal excludes today’s millennial generation. The stipulations of the Affordable Care Act force newer generations to contribute to their elder’s retirement. Millennials will be paying for the older generation’s social security and retirement but when the time comes for them (Millennials) to retire, there won’t be any money left. The attempt to convert minimum wage into a “living wage” for all was well-intentioned but wasn’t properly thought out. Obama’s actions that were meant as another step toward gender equity became another reason that those who are “far right” preferred to not even go down this road. Another issue that was brought up was the Pink Tax, an additional invisible fee tacked onto women’s products in comparison to their counterpart’s. Not only are women shortchanged with each paycheck, but they endure inflation of basic products just because of its gender specificity. At this rate, women require a higher living wage than men, yet they still get paid less. Some companies claim that women are paid less to cover certain events such as maternity leave or child related events. However, being a mother is a job by itself and although there can never be an exact price breakdown on how much it costs to raise a child, corporations still try. What is purely unjustified is that this role of “stay at home mom” and “working man” was created by society and when women derail from that lifestyle and try to join the workforce in a way they are still punished. In 2010, according to the American Progress Report,” women represented>
