Do You Tend To Support Laws That Gender Discriminate Or

What is gender discrimination?

Gender discrimination is when a Person discriminates or holds strong prejudice against people of a specific Gender.Most of the times you hear the cry of "sexism" it is not actual sexism, as sexism is the actual negative behaviour against a sex on the basis of the supposed superiority of your gender.When a Person says that women generally prefer raising kids rather than a Career, one has to look at the evidence that might support or debunk the Statement rather than trying to shut down the conversation by calling such Person a Sexist.If there are more men in IT and in CEO positions one has to look at the average promotion rate of each gender, not at the total of CEOs and IT engineers.Why? Maybe men choose These Career paths much more often then Women, and maybe men work more extra hours and are more committed, furthermore women are more likely to be promoted so if they do not make it to CEO it most certainly is not solely on the basis of their gender.I do not condone any type of discrimination on the basis of gender, race, or sexual Preference unless we are talking about your romantic Partner in which case you are absolutely rightful to choose who you want to sleep with.Note: I have been discriminated against explicitly on the basis of my race in the Dating Scene with such phrases as "i dont date Brown people" and even then i beleive that people should be allowed to do so, because at the end of the day it is them who are pushing toghether their genitals with the Person they chose.I have also been discriminated on the basis of my gender in a laboral Scene, with phrases such as "you would be the only man in the group, sorry we cant hire you."On the basis of my sexual orientation i have not been discriminated against but i discriminated against a nice guy in the disco, he came dancing towards me and asked me if we should dance toghether all the while making a "spanking motion", i told him i am not gay and his reaction made me kinda sad because he seemed like a really cool guy and i would be completely fine hanging out with him in a non sexual way.

In the US, can men sue for gender discrimination?

Absolutely. Gender discrimination as a concept is gender neutral. Both men and women can be discriminated against due to  their gender, and if the discrimination violates the law, either gender can sue.Men have successfully sued for gender discrimination. One famous case was a class action suit against Lawry's which had a tradition of hiring only female waitstaff. The only reason for this was tradition. A substantial verdict against Lowry's was the result. Lawry's Restaurants, Inc. to Pay $1 Million For Sex Bias Against Men in HiringSouthwest airlines got in trouble some years ago because it only hired female flight attendants. The article I cite above shares information about that issue as well.WILSON v. SOUTHWEST AIRLINES CO.. In this case, sex appeal was not a bona fide occupational requirement for a flight attendant. There are times when it is legal to hire only female waitstaff. For example Hooters is allowed to do so. The reason is that as far as waitstaff go, female waitstaff is rather...fundamental to Hooters' product. However, Hooters did settle a lawsuit based on the fact it discriminated against men in other areas and it did end up opening some positions for men. Just not waitstaff positions. The strange loophole that lets Hooters hire only female servers I will say, from this quick reading that Hooters seems to settle its lawsuits before they go anywhere. I have to wonder what would happen if they didn't. It is also fine for a business selling women's clothing to hire only female models, for example, or a business selling only men's clothing to hire only male models. This is because it is a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) to modeling male or female clothing, under the law. So, as you can see, men are successful filing discrimination lawsuits.

Do gender roles lead to gender discrimination?

Gender roles are a social construct that goes back to the days of hunter gatherer. The only “Gender Role” that a woman has that a man doesn’t and some would call it a privilege, is the ability to give live birth naturally; let’s not get into that. However, women can’t father a child naturally. So leaving those two things out of the equation what’s left?Because men, generally speaking, are stronger than women and intelligence between the sexes has never proven that one sex is smarter, generally speaking, than the other then there are no knowledge skills that one would have over the other. But strength skills that’s a different story. Anything that needs to be done around the home that requires physical strength is almost exclusively relegated to men as the stronger sex. Those things became male gender roles. Mostly because women physically couldn’t do them or could do them but not without a great deal of trouble; more so than a man.So if a natural higher intelligence doesn’t exist and being weaker and smaller are not generally considered benefits what is something that a woman can do that a man can’t? Simple answer, nothing.An unintended “social experiment” was performed by the Norwegians on a Survivor episode where they put a group of women on one island and a group of men on another. Neither group was cherry picked, these were just regular people with no survival skills. After the first week things didn’t look so good for women but the men were doing much better. If we look at life in the “civilized” world is there anything being done that only women can do and a man can’t?So what gender role is there for women, one that a man can’t do? None. The question now is, is leaving things that women can do for the women gender discrimination? What if men started doing those things too? Basically leaving the women with nothing to do; men work at their jobs and they do all the jobs around the house: mowing the lawn, changing the tires, changing the oil, clean out the gutters, doing the laundry, cooking dinner, doing dishes, dusting, vacuuming… basically doing both genders job. There wouldn’t be anything left for the woman to contribute to the relationship. Now the woman is a liability not an asset.Question now is, would this be considered discrimination against women, by men, because men have no use for women and consequently do not associate with women?

Why is gender discrimination such an sensitive issue?

Gender discrimination occurs when sexes are treated unequally. Gender discrimination is not based solely on gender differences but on how people are treated differently because of their sex. Employers who provide different working conditions and promotional opportunities for men and women violate anti-discrimination laws. Lenders who offer better terms to one gender over another are in violation of anti-discrimination laws. Gender discrimination is illegal and several laws are in place to prevent and eliminate discriminatory practices.There are several effects and consequences of gender discrimination, especially in employment. Gender discrimination in the workplace leads to an increase in employee turnover and creates a hostile work environment. Gender discrimination also promotes harassment and possible workplace violence. Victims of gender discrimination have the right to file lawsuits to recover damages suffered as a result of discriminatory practices.If you think your rights have been violated based on your gender, contact a Employment Lawyer Los Angeles as soon as possible to get the advice you need to move forward with your case.

How do laws protect from discrimination?

The employment law in the UK aims to promote fairness in the workplace through the Equality Act 2010. The Act also helps ensure equal job opportunities for employees and job applicants. Under the Act; therefore, any form of discrimination against employees is deemed unlawful, especially the discriminatory behaviour by:● age● disability● gender reassignment● marriage and civil partnership● pregnancy and maternity● race● religion or belief● sex● sexual orientation.Further, the Equality Act protects you against discrimination at the workplace, including:● dismissal;● employment terms and conditions;● pay and benefits;● promotion and transfer opportunities;● training;● recruitment;● redundancy;If you feel that you have suffered discrimination in your workplace, you can raise your concern with your employer and be assured that it will be taken seriously.The Equality Act makes sure that the employers create and implement policies that help prevent discrimination and promote equality. These policies include disciplinary procedures and mediation for handling complaints or concerns about discrimination.The employment law in the UK also lays down specific minimum procedures, known as the ACAS Code of Practice to help employers handle a grievance lodged by an employee.

What are the ways to remove gender discrimination?

I think the best way to combat gender norms is to be aware of them and not fall into reinforcing them. This is such a tricky issue because, in American society at least, we tend to label children as soon as they’re born: pink or blue. There are so many gender-neutral toys, but many people would still criticize a child playing with the “wrong” toy (weirdly, this is worse for boys than girls: girls may be encouraged to play with stereotypical “boy” toys, but boys are usually discouraged from playing with dolls or playing dress-up).As adults, the best ways to push back against gender norms are to do the things we like to do without worrying about it being “unmanly” or “unfeminine,” respecting other people’s expressions of gender, questioning our assumptions, and trying to see things from the opposite gender’s point of view. For example, I’ve known many men who own shirts that require ironing but don’t know how to iron. They expect a mother/girlfriend/female friend will be able and willing to iron it for them. I know this for a fact because I’ve been asked to do it. I’ll gladly teach a friend how to iron a shirt, but I won’t do it for him. I’ve also known women who don’t know how to hang a picture or mow the lawn despite owning a home and don’t feel the need to learn because their dad/boyfriend/neighbor will do it for them. (As a woman, I’m downright embarrassed for them.) These ingrained assumptions are usually passed down to children, continuing a vicious cycle. Men and women who do things usually associated with the opposite gender still risk ridicule.Just being supportive of each other would go a long way, especially coupled with every adult being personally willing and able to do all the necessary independent adult tasks (cooking and cleaning, repair and finances) without giving those tasks a gender label.
