Not Even Beyonce Believes that Gender Equality Exists

Although lately there have been talks that the world is changing, Beyonce, known as one of the biggest feminists of our time does not believe that genders are equal. According to this article Beyonce that "average working woman earns only 77 percent of what the average working man makes. But unless women and men both say this is unacceptable, things will not change." 

According to Business Insider a lot of women (and men) in America actually agree with Beyonce. The article stated, "Both sexes believe that men have an advantage when it comes to pay (and women even more so): 31% of women think they'd be paid more if they were male, and 20% of men said they'd be paid less if they were female."

Beyonce's belief and the results of the survey above raise the question: why do women really believe that men have more power especially in the working world than women? According to Business Insider it is because of family. For hundreds of years in America it was always the woman's job to stay home and take care of the family. It was the man's job to be the breadwinner. Although the times are changing and there is powerful women in this world, 51% of women still believe that family is the reason that there aren't more women busisness leaders in this world. Women still feel the need to fit the stereotype of a stay at home mom. 

There have been women to break this mold like Beyonce but still one of the most influential feminists today don't even think that genders are being treated equal.
