Gender discrimination is common throughout our nation. Whether a male or female employee, employers are required by law to compensate their employees without considering their gender. When employers are confronted or sued for violating these laws, they should not decrease the wages of one employee to give it to the one paid less but rather compensate the employee paid less.
A common scenario of gender discrimination is when employees don’t hire women because they have small children yet men in similar situations are offered these positions. The main reason this happens is because women as mothers are often seen as the ones responsible for the children. This is considered discriminatory behavior, especially when the employer hires more men than women.
Some companies may refuse to allow women work in environments that require heavy lifting. Likewise, there is the common believe that men are better in sales positions therefore women may not be offered these positions as much as men do. There are some positions that may require traveling, which are not offered to women, because they are expected to stay home with the children. Refusing to hire women is one of the most prevailing areas of gender discrimination throughout history.
Gender discrimination can also involve sexual harassment or unwanted sexual advances. Any physical or verbal harassment regarding the person’s sex or requests for sexual favors are also defined as gender discrimination. Even when the behavior is not sexual in nature as long as the comments are related to the gender, the victim may have a gender discrimination case.
Gender discrimination may not be that obvious. Perhaps you are frustrated because you are not offered the same opportunities as other men in similar positions at work.
