Have you ever felt discriminated against in the workplace? Typically, women are the most frequently mistreated people in the workplace. There are many reasons why women are discriminated against, but none of these are an excuse for women to not succeed. Women face sexism by receiving less pay than men, not being promoted at the same level as men, and facing other gender stereotypes, but sexism can be resolved by addressing their internal and external barriers and finding people who can help women. Women face problems because of their gender. In the article “Sexism is a problem in Silicon Valley, critics say,” LA Times, October 24, 2013, Jessica Guynn claims that discrimination against women exists in tech companies because of their gender. Some women working at technology companies have received sexual threats and death threats. Some tech companies don't have senior women because women aren't promoted as well as men are. Many women decide not to study to become engineers because women are not that important in the tech workforce. Tech companies have a problem with gender. Furthermore, women are paid less than men for the same type of work. According to Lean In, Sheryl Sandberg states that in 1996 women were paid fifty-nine cents for every dollar paid to men, but the women protested to increase the compensation to seventy-seven cents (6). This means that even if a woman and a man do the same job as an engineer does, both perform the same jobs and have the same responsibilities in the tech industry, men are paid twenty-three cents more than women. Furthermore, women suffer from the “gender discount”, which means that women have to pay to be part of the workplace or society… in the midst of paper society, and housework is a job for both men and women. women. Bottom line, if women are brave enough to destroy their own barriers and are with people who truly help them, they can succeed in the workplace; they will also see less sexism in the workplace. In the past, women fought for the right to vote and civil rights. Now, women and others can fight to eliminate discrimination against women in the workplace. The United States has fought many times for the right to eliminate discrimination, such as after the Civil War and World War II, and now as a country people must fight to eliminate discrimination against women to be called “The country of freedom and freedom."
