Nature Chose Women to be the Primary Caregiver

First and foremost, women are stuck with the stereotype (even today in some places) of being made solely to cook food, clean, and take care of their children. One can understand where this might have come from, seeing as women are the ones who are biologically the primary caregivers of their children, seeing as they are the ones who carry the children inside their body for 9 months and they are the ones who have to breastfeed them when they are born. However, there is a difference between biological phenomena and society confining women to those roles. Just because they can perform the mommy/wifey role it doesn't mean that that is all they can be. Finally people are starting to realize that women can do pretty much anything men can. They were naturally selected to be the child-bearer. Why should that be a punishment to them? Why should they be seen as weak? Apparently doing the equivalent of "shitting a watermelon" from the vagina is not considered strength. Well, men should try it then. Men oppressed women, and eventually the child-bearing gift (which it's meant to be), became a curse or a burden to them. That is a horrible thing to take away from a woman. They were so oppressed that they went all-out in the Feminist movement, and started burning bras and doing extreme things like that.

There is also a salary unfairness in today's world, otherwise known as the gender-wage gap. Women receive lower salaries than men, even if they are in the same positions. This is because companies assume women will have more days where they will be unable to come in, because they'll be staying home taking care of their children if they are sick or something. They also assume all women will take maternity leave at some point, or paid leave, and they don't want to pay a high amount very often. They assume men will take less paid leaves, and therefore the company is more likely to be able to afford paying for those. Whatever the reason is, it's not fair for women to have to pay for being naturally chosen to be the primary caregiver of children. Men and women should have equal salaries.

Black women are the main victims of all of these social problems because in society they were considered to be the exact opposite of the "creme de la creme". In other words, they were the bottom of the bottom. Not only were they discriminated against because of their gender, but they also had their race working against them. Because of extra problems, they, unlike white feminists, decided it was in their best interest to stick to their male (black) counterparts. Though society as a whole is meant to treat everyone equally and racism and sexism are much less overt today, unfortunately many people are still racist and sexist and women and black people are still paying the price for it.
