. In America, equal rights have not guaranteed liberty and justice for all. As we have seen time and time again, equal rights are ineffective in a society with deeply engrained prejudices — in a nation built on the backs of slaves and the oppressed — and which interprets justice, suggestively, through the framework of a criminal justice system.
However, symbols are representations. And like all symbols, equality is imprecise, and often vague. My examination of a muchon gender equality is case-in-point. The study reports that more Americans believe in gender equality than ever before, but more believe in gender equality in the workplace than in the home, where gender norms still prevail in the domestic sphere.
Reading Risman’s academic article, published in Gender & Society, I couldn’t quite move beyond the glaring problem that there was no given definition of “gender equality.” I contacted both Risman and GSS via email, who were both generous in their response to my query about this oversight. In their reply, GSS confirmed my suspicion that there was no set definition of gender equality.
A working mother can establish just as warm and secure a relationship with her children as a mother who does not work Risman, in our email exchange, explained how she derived her conclusions about gender egalitarianism, or “the belief that men and women are equally suited to work and family life,” using the responses to these questions. For an assessment about workplace gender equality, for example, she relied on the first question.

THINK Our economic system doesn’t treat people equally so there’s really no reason to treat women or any other group equally. You cant achieve equality by making some people rich. For every person who rises one must fall. That’s just how Capitalism works.
THINK The Democrat-controlled House of Representatives voted on Friday to defend local governments that choose to allow illegal aliens to vote in their elections. It will not stop there, in no time the dems will allow illegals to vote in state and national elections. Wake up America!
