In the US, females comprise about 50.8% of the population.  If you were born female, you are now able to do the following things that you haven’t always been able to do in our history’s past.

• Open a checking account without a male co-signer
• Get a credit card without a male co-signer
• Obtain/retain employment while pregnant
• Obtain a mortgage without a male co-signer
• Start a business without a male co-signer
• Obtain a job without gender-biased discrimination
• Obtain birth control without having to obtain husband’s permission
• Not be forced to provide proof of sterilization to obtain/retain employment
• Pension benefits equal to male co-workers
• Equal consideration to be executors of their children estates.

All this changed in the last 50 years because of one woman’s idea for social justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Ask yourself, is the fight over? Here are 18 ways in which women still aren’t equal to men. Consider this – if sex/gender based discrimination is a thing of the past, why is sex still asked on housing applications, credit card applications, applications for employment, etc.? Consider what you will do to consider the fight for women’s rights in the next 50 years.
