Being a woman myself i find this article very troubling. With all the movements and awareness and activisim for women in america we should be number one in all gender equality categories. I think less women are working or making it to senior positions because in todays society alot of women are shamed for working to hard and not having children. It's also apparent its still a man world with women on average making 50 percent less then men so there is not much motivation to go higher. I think with more focus on girls and stem learning our next generation of women will feel very empowered in math science and technology a place alot of women lack it. The future deinitly gives me hope for my gender to succeed.

I just read an article from a couple years ago about the U.S. ranking in comparison to other countries with regard to gender equality. It turns out our backward little country has slipped down to 48th in the international rankings. Am I surprised? No. Will things get worse before they get better? Yes.

It's the 21st century and we have barely moved women.   USA has slipped to 45th and we have African countries ahead of us.   For the past 100 years, it's all politics and government and who is going to win.  Definitely not for equality or fairness to genders.  I had a job in career that compared identically to a man's and he was paid 40% more than me.   You can't express it or you get fire because almost every state is an at-will state.
