Women's Store

In many states, women are paid less for doing the same exact job as a man. Apparently in the business world, men haven't gotten it through their little brains that women are not below them. Girls wonder why guys are stuck up sometimes, well it's because they can't get off their high horse sometimes. When someone classifies themselves as a feminist, they are not saying women should be put higher up in status than men. They're not saying women should have more power than men. And they are certainly not saying women are better than men. We are saying we deserve the same rights as men because we are all EQUAL. This includes how much a person gets paid for doing the same job as the opposite sex. 

In Pennsylvania, women get paid seventy five cents for every dollar then men make. This is just a state rule, meaning the federal government doesn't have a say. Yes states are and should be allowed to make their own minimum wage laws and so on, however, they should at least be equal for everyone and not based solely on race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc. That is borderline discrimination however the federal government can't do anything about it because it doesn't actually go against the civil rights act or the Women’s Suffrage Act. Not to mention it would be taking away the state's right to make wage laws of their own. 

A Pennsylvania native by the name of Elana Schneckler didn't like this law, so she did something about it that would get the attention it needed without making a big scene. Here's an article that explains more as to what she did to show the government you can't mess with us girls. 

The fact that she had the courage to go up against society and social norms is just inspiring. It also helps that society isn't shooting her ideas down; on the contrary, they're actually helping her by giving their approval. More people, men included, have looked through the windows of this cute little Pennsylvanian shop and agree with her statement of women deserve the same pay. This just proves you don't have to fight with actions, nor with harsh words, to get your point across.
