Women In Power
In the grocery store just the other day, I saw something that seriously made me consider an important point in my future as a professional woman in the work force. My cashier, a young man, was struggling with the cash register when his supervisor, an older woman walked over to help him. She scolded him for not knowing the system but assisted him in fixing the problem. As she walked away he whispered, “I hate that b****!” Initially this didn’t faze me but as I thought about it, the more his comment disturbed me.
In the work world, the unfortunate truth is that women in authority positions get no respect. If a man were to work hard and ask the same expectations of his employees, he’d be complimented on doing his job well. This disparity between the genders in the work world is just one of many and it’s an issue that not only feminists need to address. Women deserve the same respect!
