Most of my careers have been teaching at a comparatively small institution and I haven't been still discriminated or treated unfairly just because I am female in the workplace, fortunately. Rather, being a woman made it easier for me to be hired at the workplaces that I've been at where they usually seek female teachers, with the widespread notion of women being more meticulous than men. That is, men, who might want to work as a teacher, can be discriminated by the stereotype for their gender. In that respect, I think the disparity between men and women in the workplace comes from gender stereotypes. Here are a few reasons why this unfair belief should be addressed.
First, any career fields these days are pursuing the destruction of gender roles, meaning that the boundaries between two sexes are becoming ambiguous. Now it is not hard to see some women break into then-male dominant fields and stand out with their own talent or potential.
Second, the fact that women and men are biologically different can never be a standard to evaluate one's capability at work. I believe any abilities for your interest that you are not born with can be developed through a lot of practice. So we should not diminish our potential to be what we want.
Lastly, as women tend to be great collaborators in any groups, the society that cleverly uses the feature can strike a balance to make a happier community. Moreover, by employing more of the population, we can strengthen the workforce.
Gender should never be the barometer of a person's chance to be treated equally or not. It depends on us whether the longstanding gender stereotypes will fade away.
