Men always have it easy...

In the article I researched for this week I found a challenge us woman are being faced with. In this generation we are surrounded by leading and inspirational women who have taken new titles such as governor, lawyer, police woman, and several more that where not so long ago given to only men. But in the movement of all this positive advancements we are taking, we are getting set back by ageism. Women now, more then men, have been forced to retire at an age range of 50-64, and not willingly but forced. Females have become faced with a huge increase in job loose due to their age and outsider's views on elders. A huge problem with this has been that these women suffering early job loose, now also deal with the longer life expectancy of their parents. And as we learned women have become more independent which leads to marriage not being such an important deal for them like before. So with the growth of independence there comes a growth of responsibilities, which ageism has made more difficult to handle.
