Women Wages
As I was reading Material World by Valenti I became highly pissed off. We're in 2010 and the wages for women are still at a measly 76% of what men make. What got me even more heated up was the fact that in 2004, the Bureau of Labor Statistics "decided that reporting women's wages wasn't a priority anymore-she they stopped". The BLS thought it was a good idea to stop reporting one of the biggest problems that women are facing...wages. In addition, UNC did an interesting study on how women can narrow the pay gap. All we have to do, is strive for the senior VP level and we can make up for what is lost. Funny thing is, women have the worst glass ceiling you can possibly think of! How is this world going to finally understand that women can hang with the big boys and vice versa. Gender shouldn't matter, but it does. You can be a head honcho of a company and still report to a man or female, maybe one day without discrimination, but I don't see that anytime soon.
