The ideology that women must be at home caring for the children while the husband is the breadwinner has been idolized since the 50s. That is seen as the perfect family and a traditional one as well. Traditionalists believe that men should be the head of the household, and although this is something from the past, we continue to see families taking part in this practice. Over half of the families with incomes in the bottom, 20%, have at least one stay at home parent. Many families might also instill this because they might not have the extra money or help to have someone else take care of the children. The picture above shows a traditionalist family; the father goes out to work to provide for the family while the wife stays home to care for the children and the housework.

For decades we have seen how much women have tried to fight for a place in these institutions. Now that women hold positions of power in these institutions, they are still fighting for equal pay in their workforce. The median average earning of men in America who work full time make $941 per week compared to women who work full time only make $770 per week. These disparities have caused retired women to become twice as likely as retired men to be living in poverty. The picture that I have provided above exemplifies women protesting for their right to earn the same as their male counterparts. We are in the year 2021, and it is astonishing to see that women are not valued enough for their work and continue to make less than their male counterparts.

Feminist politics is known to be an effort that involves society gender order to be less hierarchal and more supportive of the development of all human capacities. The #Metoo movement is a perfect example of what feminist politics can contribute to help empower and find justice for those affected by someone more hierarchal. Without feminist politics, many women would not be seen, and women would not have the right to vote or speak up about sexual abuse. Imagine living in a world where women did not have to fight every day to be seen as worthy. This video that I have provided for you all made me realize that if it weren't for movements like these, many women would continue to stay quiet about issues and allow systems to take advantage of women.

After watching this short video, go ahead and answer these questions in your discussion board.
