Women in the Work place

My biggest compaint about this whole debate is when the authors said that a 'glass ceiling' doesnt exist for women in the work place. I understand what they meant when they said its not true because of the many levels of accomplishments that women have recieved around the world. Yes, things are getting better. But they are not where they need to be. A glass ceiling (and the glass escalator for men in women dominated fields) do exist. It might not be the same for all women, but there is a limit to how high within a company a woman can get. Yes, there have been women presidents in other countries, but until a woman is elected as president here in the US, there will still be problems with equality in the work force in this country. This is being seen in the semi-recent law suits with Walmart. There is still a problem that women have to face in the work place of being paid less than males doing the same job, even if we have come a long way since the '50s.

In one of my other WGS classes, my teacher told me that there was a study done by the Danish that said if women were to hold 50% or more of the CEO positions in the US, then we would never face another recession. This is because women are more cautious with their spending and look at all aspects of a decision before they would make it.

Now if this were to work out like they think it would, would the US population ever reconsider paying women less than men and actually give women the jobs and positions they deserve? Or do you think that the males would still dominate the power in our work place?
