Fit women come in all colors too. Then, there is the belief that women shouldn't work. In society, for some strange reason people can't get the thought out of their minds that women shouldn't have the opportunity to work. The idea that women are supposed to become housewives, stay home all day and take care of the kids is still quite popular. But still women are not being treated equally when it comes to working for a living.
Most men still receive higher wages than women.
Even though the issue of work equality and opportunity is very relevant today, for Black women the issue is not necessarily one of choosing between staying at home or working. Black women quite often don't have a choice. They must work. What they struggle with is finding a suitable home in a pleasant neighborhood where they can raise their children. Advertisement, media and cultural norms have all played a role in damaging women's self esteem.
