  2. Women in the Work Place Traditional family patterns consist of a stay-at-home mom, and a father that works, but nowadays, as much as 60% of adult women have jobs. Women still typically have more responsibilities inside the household. Congress has passed numerous acts to forbid gender discrimination in employment and education programs. There are still many controversial issues that are faced today that include wage discrimination, women in the military , and sexual harassment.
  3. Comparable Worth The median annual earnings of women are 80% of those made by men. The US Supreme Court has not addressed the merits of comparable worth. An argument against addressing comparable worth is that the lawsuits based on the issue would interfere with the free market for wages by decreasing incentives for women to seek higher paying jobs.
  4. Women in the Military Originally, women served in separate military units, but now women are part of the regular service and make up 15% of the armed forces. There are still differences between men and women in the military including the draft and the prohibition of women from serving in combat. There is a debate over whether women should be able to serve in combat.
  5. Sexual Harassment Sexual harassment that creates a hostile or abusive work environment is a form of gender discrimination and is forbidden by the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Different court cases throughout the years have established certain aspects of handling sexual harassment, including: The federal law protects the harassed before any psychological difficulty. Employers are responsible for preventing and stopping harassment at work. Employees can sue even if they did not file a report with their employer, but their lack of safeguard can be used against them in court. Employees can sue for sexual harassment even without being able to show job-related harm. The law prevents sexual harassment by the same gender. Schools can be held responsible for student-on-student sexual harassment if they are aware of it. Sexual harassment can be especially prevalent in the military and is viewed as intolerable.
