Why aren’t there more women politicians in America? When the word politics is normally brought up in a conversation, usually the talk is about Republicans and Democrats, or today, of course, President Donald Trump. The talk of the gender political gap is rarely discussed, which should be, considering the fact that there are more women than ever serving as Senators and in the House of Representatives, and America has a 51 percent population of women, yet men still dominate election wins.
The gender pay gap still exists today, even though there are more women working than men outside of the home, not to mention, more women have gone back to college to earn higher education degrees compared to men over the past decade. But, that gender wage gap is narrowing, according to a Pew Research Center analysis. This is based on the median hourly earnings for both full-time and part-time employees.
Well…well… The final two have been nominated and only one will take the seat as President of the United States. The two candidates, Former United States Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton (Democrat) and Billionaire Donald J. Trump (Republican) are two very different people who see America’s future just as differently as their personalities.
The inequity between men’s and women’s salaries has been discussed for years, though little has been done in America to eradicate the problem.
