    1. This article discusses the inequality that exists in the work force between men and women. Even in a career that is predominately female dominate, men still make more than women do. Women's work is constantly devalued. However, some feminists are not even considering these workplace issues, leaving a lot of women in the metaphorical "basement" because they are so worried about the glass ceiling. I will use this article to prove

    2. never been paid before.

      Women don't even realize that they can have the potential to ask for more money, because businesses take advantage of them also while devaluing their jobs.

    3. All work is gendered

      Very true, and even as young adult, I've had first-hand experience with it

    1. Without blatantly saying so, this article addresses the matter of men treating women like fragile creatures rather than real humans. Men feel the need to tip-toe around women and treat them differently than they would with another man, even over meaningless things like a handshake. There is no "right" way to shake a woman's hand compared to how one would shake a man's hand. A person wouldn't "hulk-shake" a man's hand nor would they kiss it and caress it. So why is it okay to think that just because someone is a woman that they needed to be careful with something as casual as shaking hands? I'll use this article to support my thesis in proving that there is gender inequality, even over small situations. situations like this is what needs to be motivation for the feminist movement.
