Women in Politics

Women in Politics

The majority agrees that over many centuries, with the exceptions of powerful matriarchs and queens, most of women's political influence was indirect. Women are viewed as the hearth-keepers and mothers, while war and politics are considered to be male pastimes. Women have often been discounted as political representatives because they tend to be more emotional than men.

Women have been trying to wear the pants for centuries, whether it is as successful, career or in politics. It has always been controversy to whether women are capable of succeeding in doing jobs that men have been doing. Women are now working on jobs now more than ever, jobs such as: police officers, fireman, construction workers, even running thee politics. For example, Hilary Clinton, who ran for the President of the United States?   However, she did not stop their, she is now the United States Secretary of State. And without a doubt she will do well with this position. The main goal of the women’s movement was basic citizenship rights for women. For decades, many of the first women’s groups strived for their civil and political rights as women. Their central focus was the right to vote, and the right to run for office. The purpose was to claim a role in democratic politics. Many believed that in order to attain political goals, the right to vote was vital. But in my opinion women that want to take up a politics should start from simple issue. For example, to prove that they can work as well as men.

Equality in the work place has been an issue for as long as men and women have worked together.   Men and women work equally hard and get just as much accomplished as the other. Since the work is equal, the pay should be equal as well.   Companies in the Russia and other countries should be required to pay all employees equally and fairly. Obviously, pay should depend on position. If a woman works as a receptionist, she should not expect the same pay as a man in charge of system security. However, if a man and woman are in the same position, they should be paid the same.

There are some jobs that women do better than men and vice versa. Companies need to realize that men and women work equally hard for their money. Often times, women work harder just to prove their equality. Instead of looking at gender, companies should look only at qualifications and how well the employee does the job.

That’s why if woman starts from such position they will obviously successful in political sphere.
