Womens satisfaction with the treatment of their gender in the United States is at a record low, according to a Gallup poll. A majority of men, however, dont see a problem.
The study, released last week, found that 53 percent of Americans are very or somewhat satisfied with the treatment of women in society tying a record low that first hit when the #MeToo movement gained national attention in 2017. Since 2016, womens satisfaction has dropped 17 points to 44 percent, while mens fell by five points to 61 percent, according to Gallups findings.
The poll also found that 61 percent of men think men and women have equal job opportunities, while 33 percent of women agree. However, majorities of both genders, 72 percent of women and 61 percent of men favored affirmative action programs for women.
Tinu Abayomi-Paul, a writer and virtual speaker based in Arlington, Tex., wasnt surprised by the studys findings. Its not only that women arent treated well. Sometimes were invisible, she said.

(53,984 posts)I know how to treat a lady. I make little finger-point guns at her when I wink, to let 'em know I think she's a real hot-shot. And I open doors for the ladies so that they can walk through the doorway first, in case there's any panthers in the room waiting to pounce. I want 'em to know, "Hey, hot lady, I trust you to fight off a deadly panther for me, because I believe in equality." Oh, these sweet mamas don't know what they're missin' with a guy like me.
I put a lady up on a pedastal, both so she can feel special and also in case the light bulb needs changing. I'm efficient that way, and these ladies oughta know that an efficient guy is a trustworthy guy, which is why I never take my special lady out for dinner unless I have a two-for-one coupon. That is, if I have a special lady when I cut one out from the mail-outs I get for free in my mail box. But I don't have one at the moment and lot of these expiration dates are coming up. So look me up, my American beauties. Yeeeaaahh, the Buckster knows how to treat a woman right.
