As
of today, America has come a long way in how gender, race, and diversity are
expressed in politics such as the congress and other state representatives.
Although, we still see a large gap in the representation of women to men. Today
we see 20 women, and 80 men on the US Senate. This is still an incredibly large
gap for being in a country of "equality". Although it might be known
that men do comprise of more of the population in the politics world; I feel as
if it is necessary to keep in mind that certain bills may be voted on
differently by the genders.
When
it comes to critical topics of abortions and women's health. It is critical to
make sure that the ones who are affected by the acts, are the ones voting on
it. Having a perspective from a woman on directly related topics, bills, and
other laws trying to pass would make the potential laws more suitable to
society. And ensure that the laws are affecting the ones who relate to it in a
positive manner.
Now in a senate where
the women are only comprising 20% of the population, often makes it very hard
to see the point of view from both genders equally. This topic is something we
should be concerned about, because laws will struggle to see true justice when
comprising of the misrepresentation of genders. This prevents the Unit4ed
States from reaching full potential of enhancing the quality of life. In an odd
sense, this misrepresentation of gender may seek to enhance the quality of life
of males in the United States, more than females.
Overall it would be enlightening to see more equality in the voices that are speaking
for our country. This would allow America to reach the equilibrium of genders.
