Exploring on Feminist equality

Argument, Hyperlinks, Connections
As I started exploring  http://www.pbs.org/peoplelikeus I started off by playing Chintz or Shag, this allowed me to create a living room of my dream.  It was interesting how in the end it showed an explaination of what objects you chose to place in your style room.  I think it was weird how if would pinpoint what your personality is just by choosing objects to be placed in your living room.  Even though some of the things were not my taste they did not really have any female design objects to place in the room.  Yet everything was categorized to a certain point and it showed that there was not to many options for being a female while all of the objects were unisex.  I believe that people should not be categorized just by the options they choose its about what the person is like in the inside and not to be judged.

Later I explored http://cwcs.ysu.edu/ one the first page I noticed it said "Wage Theft Resources and Where To Go For Help".  I noticed the people were holding the sign...

As I read along it mentioned "Employers have taken advantage of the current economic conditions. High unemployment, deregulation and lack of enforcement efforts have led many employers to cheat their employees. In an effort to help abused employees, the Center for Working-Class Studies has developed a list of wage thefts and where employees might go to get some assistance from government agencies". I found it to be hard for the employers to have pay cuts and how the employee would have to cut down on pay due to the economic crisis, as these workers still have families to take care of and most of them support them on one paycheck.

I think that economic inequality is a feminist issue because women that work at a high paying job still do not make as much as men do.  They may be getting paid more than women for the same job category.  I think that gender is an issue in the workplace due to different paying jobs.  Women  and men should have the same pay as they have the same job nobody should be paid more or less than one another, there should be a equal pay.
