Why women are rejected from some work fields

        Many women have been rejected from jobs because of various reasons and this is a problem that has been held since decades ago. In old times, women could not work because of their gender, they didn’t allow them to study, learn, nor work. They believed that women were born to be housewives and not to be successful. But as our generation has grown by time, this has not been that big of a problem anymore.
         Some women have been denied job applications because of their gender. They’ve been told that they couldn’t work a specific job because it’s supposedely “according to them” a job that only guys can do. This issue is called masculism. Many Americans believe that men are more capable at handling politics and leaderships, but the truth is that both men and women are both capable of being as equally good at something as the other one. It sucks but it’s true: If a woman’s been in the workforce long enough, there’s a good chance she’s experienced some type of discrimination.
Some women are paid less just because of their gender, they work the same job as some men do but are still paid much less while they work as hard or even harder than other people do, so this would be very unfair for them. And when we talk about earning less, we’re presuming that a woman got the job in the first place. Not only do women face lower pay, they also face lower odds of internal promotions or receiving a job offer. Fostering a culture of gender diversity isn’t just good for women, though–it’s good for men, and it’s good for business. Girls and women are outranking boys and men more and more when it comes to education at school and university, yet that success does not generally translate into equal opportunity for women in the workplace.Whether you've experienced sexual harassment, a corporate outing to a strip club or are called "young lady” in the office, sexism is pretty common in 2018. There is less overt discrimination today than several decades ago, but there was "still plenty around", including when women become pregnant.
Women are more likely to take care of their children, or look after elderly parents. Combined with the rising costs of childcare, there are various barriers which hinder women from reaching the top jobs. It appears the old adage remains true: a woman will see one skill on a job spec that she does not feel confident about and ditch her application, while a man will apply for the same job based on the one skill that they do have. Because the top levels of most sectors are already dominated by men, there are plenty of people that younger men can relate to and receive a helping hand from as they climb up the ladder. Sectors that are dominated by women, such as teaching and nursing, tend to be underpaid relative to other sectors. This is the most controversial point but, the most interesting one to grapple with.Men might generally cling onto the greasy pole of higher management, but women are more likely to weigh up their work/life balance. So long as mothers are the ones more likely to take time off after having children, women’s full-time work is always going to struggle to match that of men. One issue however is due to the changing nature of the economy and the industries which mostly employ women.
      All of these problems mentioned have their solutions. Women should not be rejected just for their gender, just for being women, because us women are as strong and have the same capacity and ability to do all of the things men do.
