Let's talk about equality. The importance of equality is emphasized nowadays in several countries. Finland is an equal country in theory but there are still a number of issues that are unequal between the women and the men. The wages of men are higher than women. They are not the same amount even if she does same work than he. So, women and men may have the same job description and the same job title but the wages between the women and the men are different. That's wrong. I do not understand how can man say that we are an equal country when the differences between the woman and the men are obvious in a working life? There is something to think about and needed to be fix because as a woman I would like to have the same wage as my male colleague.
But what else is not equal between the women and the men? I think that men involve in house work and are interested in their looks, but I would not generalize those characteristics to all men. It is though great that men are interested in house works and their looks. The appearance of the pressure are not only women's problem, but also some of the men's problem. With those things the difference of the women and men are not very big. Man can always find abnormalities though. Not every woman likes to do house work or cares about her looks. In some cases man can notice that some men cares about their looks more than some women and are better at doing house works. (I do not have a proof about that claim that some men are better at doing house work but that something I've heard...) It is not a bad thing though as long as a woman feels herself a woman and she does not have to compete with men when it comes to an objective to look good. What a nightmare would that be when men look better than us? I do not wish that to happen.
But what else is not equal between the women and the men? The women has an opportunity (and an obligation) to educate themselves and to make a great career in Finland, which is great but do employees employ the woman on the same grounds as they would have employed the man? It is not a long time ago when I heard the news about the difference of employing a woman and a man. There was told that the majority of employers prefer hiring a man, even if a woman would has exactly the same conditions to get the job. So, the women have to do more job applications than men.
As a woman I feel the equality as an important issue that needs to pay attention to. The grievances of the equality are the issues that need to be fixed. Of course, it is great that there are several issues that are equal, but why not to obey the equality when making the decisions of an employment, for example? The idea of this text became when I saw a video of gender inequality presented by Emma Watson. It is a good speech with an important message and important points. Watching that video you may see the things in a new perspective or get something to think about.
